Cardiac Catheterization
Your heart is in good hands at Luminis Health. Our skilled cardiac and vascular specialists diagnose, treat and manage a wide range of heart diseases. And cardiac catheterization is one of our specialties.What Is Cardiac Catheterization?Cardiac catheterization is a procedure that lets us see inside your heart's blood vessels using a hollow tube called a "catheter." We thread the catheter from an artery in your arm or groin to your heart.Your doctor may order a cardiac catheterization if you have a cardiac condition or symptoms of heart disease. This procedure can:Check how well your heart works.Determine if you have blockages in any coronary (heart) arteries.Evaluate how your heart's valves work.Diagnose problems with your heart and figure out the best way to fix them.If needed, we can perform life-saving procedures during cardiac catheterization. These include:Angioplasty, in which we open a blocked artery with a tiny balloon.Stenting, in which we insert a device to keep the artery open for longer.Cardiac catheterization is a minimally invasive procedure. About 90% of the time, we use radial catheterization — the latest approach, in which the catheter goes into an artery in your arm. This method reduces your risk of bleeding and speeds up your recovery time.

Dr. Hoover earned his medical degree at Drexel University College of Medicine (formerly MCP Hahnemann) and was elected to Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Society. He then completed his Orthopaedic Surgery residency at the University of South Carolina/Palmetto Health Richland. While in residency, Dr. Hoover received the Orthopaedic Department Resident of the Year Award twice. He completed an Adult Reconstruction Fellowship at Emory University in Atlanta where he honed his joint replacement skills with intensive training in cutting edge surgical techniques in arthroplasty. Dr. Hoover enjoys hip and knee replacement surgery because of the consistency of success in the properly selected patient. Dr. Hoover's professional goal is the improvement in quality of life for patients with pain secondary to hip and knee problems. Anterior Total Hip Replacement This exciting alternative technique for hip replacement surgery allows the surgeon to expose the hip without disturbing muscular attachments to the bones around the joint. This allows the hip to remain stable after surgery and prevents the need for "dislocation precautions." The approach involves a single, short incision over the front of the hip joint as opposed to the side or back of the hip. The procedure is performed on a special orthopaedic table, which features independent leg spars. These spars allow the leg to be positioned so that access to the joint occurs without the need to remove muscle or tendons from the thigh bone. Dr. Hoover has performed the surgery on a wide variety of patients, ranging in age from the early forties to the mid eighties. In addition to Anterior Total Hip Replacement surgery, he specializes in Total Knee Replacement, Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty, Computer Navigated Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasty, Revision Hip Arthroplasty, Revision Knee Arthroplasty, Periprosthetic Hip and Knee Infections, Lower Extremity Trauma, and Multimodal/Pre-emptive analgesia for hip and knee arthroplasty. Dr. Hoover is Board Certified by the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgeons. He is a member of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS) and the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons (AAHKS). Dr. Hoover and his wife live in Annapolis with their two boys.

Our neurosurgeons are highly-trained experts with a vast knowledge of the brain, spine, and nervous system.
Hearing that you need surgery for a brain tumor or spinal injury can be a shock. The specialists at Luminis Health will walk with you through every step of your treatment, no matter your diagnosis. , Why Choose Luminis Health for Neurosurgery? Our neurosurgery department offers innovative treatments covering a range of brain and spinal diseases and injuries. Here's why you should choose Luminis Health for neurosurgery. We're high-tech, but close to home. We offer many neurosurgical treatments found at major academic medical centers, but in a more intimate environment. Because we're smaller, we can personalize service to your specific needs. We're a "one-stop shop." All the doctors you need to see are on one campus, so you don't have to run all over town for your appointments. That's especially important if you're seeing specialists from different departments. We take a multidisciplinary approach. We work closely with the oncology (cancer) department in treating brain tumors. Your care team may also include ICU doctors, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech pathologists, and nurses. Our minimally-invasive surgical techniques require less downtime. We want to get you up and around and back to living a full life as soon as possible. Many of our patients go home a few days after surgery., What to Expect From Neurosurgery Knowing you need brain or spinal surgery can feel overwhelming. But today's surgical procedures are minimally invasive and don't require as much recovery time as they used to. Your specific treatment will depend on your condition, age, and overall health. Here are some things to keep in mind about brain or spinal surgery: You may or may not need neurosurgery for a spinal problem. You can see an orthopedic spine surgeon for some spinal conditions. However, if the problem is intradural — involving the spinal cord itself — you should see a neurosurgeon. You probably won't need to shave your head. The prep team may shave a tiny strip of hair to make an incision. They will make the incision behind your hairline to keep it covered. We get you up and around as soon as possible. We focus on helping you start your recovery as soon as it’s safe to do so. Often, you’ll begin working with a physical therapist shortly after surgery to gently regain strength and mobility. Every patient’s recovery is different, and your care team will guide you at a pace that’s right for you—supporting you each step of the way. SRS treatments are done on an outpatient basis. If you're having SRS, you can go home the same day.
