Tyrone Galbreath, DO, MHA, FACS, is a board-certified cardiothoracic surgeon, who believes in the Golden Rule of medicine and treating each patient as he would want to be treated.

Dr. Galbreath’s special areas of medical interest involve applying minimally invasive techniques in heart and lung surgery. “The overarching goal is to provide durable and quality treatment at less recovery cost to patients” he said.

“The draw toward healthcare for me was the combination of challenge, using science to help others, and the reward of being able to participate in the healing of patients,” he said. “I see healthcare as a field of unique relationships. Those relationships include those between patient and provider, as well as relationships between providers or the ‘care team.’ The result of cultivating durable and robust relationships in the healthcare setting allows us as a care team to provide the best possible care for the patients we have the privilege of caring for.”

When not treating patients, Dr. Galbreath enjoys traveling, learning through reading, spending time with his family and dogs, being outdoors and everything related to aviation.

Dr. Galbreath is employed as a clinical faculty physician at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Tyler under the UT Tyler School of Medicine.

Dr Galbreath has taken excellent care of my dad both times he’s seen him. He did my dad’s unexpected cardiac bypass earlier this year as well as a recent thoracic surgery that led us to him initially. He was very informative and kept us up to date both times and answered any and all questions we had pre and post procedure. He followed up the days following the surgeries and the care and professionalism by Dr Galbreath has been phenomenal. I can tell the ICU and floor staff like him as well. Highly recommend.

My daughter-in-law had a mitral valve replacement due to a very serious infection that had left vegetation on her heart. Dr Galbreath was super. He was not only a superior surgeon, but he was kind, attentive, and his staff were equally professional.
