Cardiovascular Care Group

The Cardiovascular Care Group (TCCG) was formed in 1963 as The Thoracic Cardiovascular Surgical Group when the practices of Franklyn P. Gerard, MD, FACS and Adrian M. Sabety, MD, FACS were joined. Established as one of the first professional corporation in the State of New Jersey, "The Group" has represented a dedication to provide the highest leve... l of quality care to those patients with Vascular or Thoracic disease for over 45 years. During this time, the practice has consistently expanded to include a group of high quality physicians from the top training programs in the country. The Group's original location was in East Orange, New Jersey and at that time, Dr. Gerard and Dr. Sabety were on the medical staff of East Orange General Hospital, Orange Memorial Hospital, Mountainside Hospital, Rahway Hospital, Clara Maass Medical Center, Saint Barnabas Hospital and Saint Mary's Hospital. In 1985, the primary office location was moved to Belleville and as more physicians joined, coverage was expanded to include Essex, Hudson and Union counties and an office was established in Westfield. Currently, there are office locations in Westfield, Clifton, and Springfield. In 2002, The Thoracic Cardiovascular Surgical Group changed its name to The Cardiovascular Care Group, to more accurately reflect the focus and activities of the practice. The Group has continued to focus on total cardiovascular care and concentrate on the importance of caring for the complete patient. Nutritional counseling and lipid management (cholesterol and triglycerides) are some of the primary concerns for the physicians and nutritionists here at TCCG.Read More
