Marko Boskovski

MD MHS MPH

Cardiac surgeon
Director, Ross and Aortic Valve Preserving Surgery

Dr. Marko T. Boskovski is a cardiothoracic surgeon who cares for patients with heart disease. He specializes in complex surgery of the thoracic aorta (the part of the aorta, which is the body's largest artery, located in the chest). He has a special interest in aortic root surgery (repairing an enlarged section of the aorta to prevent a rupture or other problems), including the Ross procedure (which replaces a damaged aortic valve with the patient's pulmonary valve), valve-sparing aortic root replacement (techniques that preserve the patient's aortic valve) and aortic valve repair.

Boskovski's research focuses on the biomechanics and genetics of diseases affecting the thoracic aorta and surgeries like the Ross procedure.

Boskovski earned his medical degree as well as a master of health science degree at Yale School of Medicine. He completed a master of public health degree at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. He completed a residency in general surgery and a fellowship in cardiothoracic surgery at Brigham and Women's Hospital, an affiliate of Harvard Medical School.

    I've consistently found the UCSF support team to be professional, competent, courteous, and very client-oriented. They are always a pleasure to correspond with and excel at quickly resolving any issue.

    Dr. Boskovski is personable, friendly, and talks to me in a way that I can understand. He explains things simply, and if I have any questions or want further information he is willing to provide as much detail as I want and is patient.

    This was my first visit with Dr Boskovski. He was very nice and informative. He is the first Doctor to explain and show me in detail exactly what my surgery was. It really helps you to better understand what is going on.

    I don't feel that the care provider was very intact with the seriousness of my condition. Meaning he did not seem to acknowledge my obvious concern and worries regarding my health. I felt he was very nonchalant regarding his explanation and suggested course of treatment. He said that what I was experiencing was "only" minuscule in comparison. That left me feeling as though he was minimizing, at the most, my fears and worries. His tone/attitude was very much perceived by me as over casual, lacking in appropriateness for the subject matter (my heart). I had to ask who were the two people that were in the room with him and initiate introductions.

    Really enjoyed the visit despite it being for a potentially serious condition. He was very comfortable answering my questions, and make sure at the end of the visit that he had answered them all.
