Bio
Paul Massimiano, MD, is a board-certified thoracic and cardiovascular surgeon with the Orlando Health Heart & Vascular Institute. He has provided patients comprehensive cardiac surgical care for more than 30 years and is known as an expert in minimally invasive heart surgery, in particular minimally invasive mitral valve surgery, which he helped develop. In addition to caring for patients, Dr. Massimiano also serves as the Institute's medical director of cardiac surgery.
Experienced Cardiac and Vascular Care
Narrow or blocked arteries, known as coronary artery disease, are a common condition and require experienced cardiac and vascular care from a board-certified surgeon like Dr. Massimiano. Patients with advanced coronary artery disease may experience a severe cardiac event such as intense chest pain, heart attack or stroke and require emergency attention.
Whether it is a scheduled or emergency procedure, Dr. Massimiano provides patients the most current surgical treatments available. For many patients, minimally invasive procedures, including angioplasty and stents, are appropriate, while others may require bypass surgery or another more invasive intervention.
Dr. Massimiano’s Training
Dr. Massimiano earned his medical degree from Georgetown University School of Medicine followed by internships in general surgery at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, and Navy Regional Medical Center in the Philippines. He returned to Bethesda for residencies in general and vascular surgery, serving as chief resident.
He then completed a fellowship in cardiothoracic surgery at Yale New-Haven Hospital in Connecticut, an affiliate of Yale University School of Medicine, and an advanced valve fellowship at St. Vincent Heart Institute in Portland, Oregon.

These include the American Medical Association, Society of Thoracic Surgeons, International Society for Minimally Invasive Surgery, and American College of Healthcare Executives.
His work has appeared in peer-reviewed medical journals, three book chapters, and at national and international scientific meetings. He also has received many awards during his career, including the Navy Achievement Award and Navy Meritorious Service Medal.

Why do some Orlando Health physicians not have a patient experience rating?
The Patient Satisfaction Rating is an average of all responses to the care provider related questions, shown above, from our nationally-recognized Press-Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey. Patients that are treated in outpatient or hospital environments may receive different surveys, and the volume of responses will vary by question.
Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best score.
The comments are submitted by patients and reflect their views and opinions. The comments are not endorsed by and do not necessarily reflect the views of Orlando Health.
Ratings may not be present for certain physicians of Orlando Health Physician Group and Orlando Health Physician Associates because:
- The physician has not yet met the minimum number of 30 patient satisfaction surveys to be eligible for display.
- They may be a researcher or type of provider that does not see patients.
- They may practice in a specialty or office that has not yet implemented the specified surveys used for these ratings.
