DOVER — As central and southern Delaware’s largest health care system, Bayhealth is expanding to meet the local demands for top-notch heart and vascular care close to home.

The Bayhealth Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgical Associates practice is proud to welcome vascular surgeon Carl Barosso. He will be based at their practice location in Milford and operate at Bayhealth Hospital, Sussex Campus.

Dr. Barosso joins a talented Bayhealth team that includes chief cardiothoracic surgeon Gary Szydlowski; cardiovascular surgeon Daniel Marelli; thoracic and vascular surgeon Paul Fedalen; physician assistants Jeffrey Cirks, Todd Brandt, Alexandra Kwan and Rebekah Bernat; and family nurse practitioner Cara M. O’Reilly.

Dr. Barosso brings more than 25 years of surgical expertise to Bayhealth. He has worked as a heart, vascular and thoracic surgeon for private medical practices and health systems across the country.

After earning his medical degree from SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University in Brooklyn, New York, Dr. Barosso went on to pursue multiple surgical residencies. He completed a residency in general surgery at Cabrini Medical Center in New York City; a residency in vascular surgery at Baylor University in Houston, Texas; and a residency in thoracic and cardiovascular surgery at Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood, Illinois.

“We’re thrilled to have Dr. Barosso on board with us,” said Leslie McClements, Bayhealth senior practice manager. “He is a skilled physician who is dedicated to his patients’ needs and provides thorough and compassionate care before, during and after surgery. We are proud to expand upon our surgical talent to provide more heart and vascular care in southern Delaware and allow local residents to get the advanced surgery they need here at Bayhealth without having far to travel.”
