Physicians
Welcome to Chandler Regional Medical Center
Our new Cardiac Catheterization Lab is designed for cardiologists to perform a wide array of catheterization procedures, such as angioplasty and various interventions.
Another innovation we have at our facility is the ability to view previous surgical procedures in the operating room rather than having to go to the Cath Lab. The CDs may be sent ahead of time and will be set up in the operating room for your use during any procedure.
For those of you who treat winter residents, we also will prepare CDs for you to send to the patient's primary cardiologist.
Chandler Regional Medical Center has a team of experienced and highly qualified physicians serving its patients. Click here to be directed to the Find a Physician page. In the Specialty menu, select Cardiology or Cardiovascular/Thoracic Surgery for a listing with the doctors' contact information.

For Physician Administrators
To download a copy of the forms used for ordering pre-operative diagnostic testing, click below:
Cardiopulmonary Outpatient Physicians Orders
Cardiovascular Surgery Patient Information for you to distribute to patients who are scheduled for surgery
Standing Elective Pre-Operative Cardiothoracic Surgery Orders
Pre-operative orders form
Cardiac Rehabilitation PH II Referral Form
As you schedule elective cases at our hospital, please ask the surgeon to circle or check those orders applicable to the patient, and to complete all blanks. Once the orders are complete, please fax them to 480.821.3835 (Chandler Regional Medical Center's Surgical Admissions Office).
It also would be very helpful to have any particular guidelines from your anesthesiologists concerning any medications to be aware of.
One of our Surgical Admissions Nurses will call scheduled patients several days before surgery to obtain a complete history and to answer any questions. They also will work with your office to obtain diagnostic test results well in advance of a patient's surgery date. The blood draw for the type and cross is best conducted 48 hours before surgery. This gives us enough time to send the sample out for further testing if antibodies are present.
We will be offering Pre-Op teaching classes to the elective cardiac surgery patients and their families Monday through Friday, from 11:00 am to noon at Chandler Regional Medical Center. This class is recommended in order to prepare the patients and families for upcoming surgery and to help facilitate the recovery process. The patient may schedule this appointment by calling 480.821.3256.
Patients may park in the southeast parking lot and enter through Entrance "A" Monday through Saturdays from 5:00 am to 8:30 pm. During other times, they may use the Emergency Department entrance. Click here for a map.
If you have any questions, please contact one of the Surgical Admissions Nurses, at 480.821.3361 or 480.821.3260. We look forward to working with you, your patients and the physicians.
