Who is Doc O?
Doc O’s full professional name is Ronald B. O’Gorman, MD,
PhD, FACS, FACP, RVS. In a later post, I’ll
explain what all those letters mean. Most of my patients just call me Doc O. In
Honduras, they call me Dr. Ron. My kids call me Pop. My nieces call me Uncle
Ronnie. Back in Texas, I used to say, I didn’t care what you call me as long
as you didn’t call me late for supper.
I’m a doctor whose practice centers on the treatment of
Cardiovascular Diseases. I’m a first-generation heart surgeon, having had the privilege
to train with Dr. Michael E. DeBakey and his associates who invented many of
the procedures that I’ll chat about here. Currently, I work with five other
surgeons in Mobile, AL. We perform surgery of the heart, lung and blood
vessels, and we treat patients with a variety of cardiovascular and thoracic
diseases.
