Surgeons’ Lives - Stuff that Matters28 Juli 2024

Scott Silvestry - heart transplants, Ferraris, Bronx origins, learning life. It's all here!

Scott Silvestry MD is the current Division chief of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery at the University of Arizona, Tucson.

But he is so much more than that.

He was drawn to Medicine and Surgery by family tragedy, leaving the close community of the Bronx to become a doctor. He spent his formative residence years in Duke, or he had the opportunity to learn much – not all good – from the legendary Dr. David Sabiston.

After residency, a period of research followed before he became a star in the field of heart failure, and heart transplantation while on faculty at the University of Washington in St. Louis. Following a few years in Florida, he recently moved to his current position in Arizona where he is now revamping the Transplant program.

In this fascinating interview, he talks about family influences, behavioral changes over the years, constantly pushing the boundaries of technology and challenges for the benefit of his patience and always questioning dogma.

His passion for cars was learned watching his dad with various wonderful machines such as a 427 Cobra, an early Ferrari as well as a very rare Lamborghini. He is certainly followed in that tradition over many years steadily creating a wonderful collection of elegant Ferraris, including some really special cars that he talks about during this discussion.
