Healthy Living News Profile—fall 2019
Gerald Sardella, MD is a familiar face in New Hampshire. He attended undergraduate and medical school at Dartmouth and practiced cardiothoracic surgery in Concord for 12 years. He had a distinguished tenure in Albany, NY before that. Now at CMC and the New England Heart & Vascular Institute (NEHVI), “I am performing more complicated cases and I am working within a program that is proven to be one of the best in New England.”

Dr. Sardella has a special interest in arterial bypass grafting, mitral valve surgery, and newer procedures like transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). “I am joining a world-class team here at CMC. We offer the next level of care here at CMC without having to refer patients to Boston.”

Dr. Sardella loves being outdoors with his family and their rescue dogs. He has a deep appreciation for the high quality of life in New Hampshire and he enjoys connecting with his patients. “Face time is important to people so I try to get to know the patient and their families. They come in with a problem that’s limiting their quality of life, so I want to understand what’s important to them to not only extend their life but improve their quality of life as well.”
