Patient Reviews
Nov 30, 2022
I went into the hospital with a collapsed lung. I also had a heart attack in the process. A lung surgeon came in and told my wife to gather family members together. He didn't think I would survive. A nurse at the hospital told my wife about Dr. Tishko. She contacted him and when he arrived at the hospital he assured her that I would be fine. Dr. Tishko did lung reduction surgery and the follow up treatment. I was back to work 3 months later and back on the street as a police officer in Columbus, Ohio. It has now been 25 years and I feel great. There is no doubt that Dr. Tishko is the greatest lung surgeon in the country and maybe the world. God Bless Dr. Tishko. I can't praise him enough. Before I met Dr. Tishko I had severe COPD and had difficulty breathing. Life has been great for me thanks to Dr. Tishko. I am now 73.

About Me

Care Philosophy

  • Dr. Tishko welcomes all your questions. He believes the more you know, the better you do. Using state of the art treatment and evaluation in a multidisciplinary setting, the best individual plan for your care can be completed.  Coordinating decisions with other specialists is essential. Dr. Tishko believes that you and your family must comfortably understand your situation and options, so education and explanations are critically important aspects of your care before, during and after surgery. Meticulous longterm followup is necessary, and Dr. Tishko carefully follows his cancer patients for their lifetime.  

    When considering thoracic surgery, you should feel comfortable asking your surgeon very specific questions including:

    • Are you board certified in thoracic surgery?
    • Are you a dedicated pure thoracic surgeon?
    • Do you perform other types of surgeries?
    • What percent of your practice is pure thoracic surgery?

    Dr. Tishko believes the more you know, the better you do.
