Their focus is usually on the lungs, esophagus, and other areas of the chest, and may also include the heart. As such, Dr. Stephenson may see patients in South Carolina for a wide range of surgeries, for example removing cancer causing tumors from the esophagus and chest wall, or even a lung transplant.
