Daniel DeArmond, M.D.

Dr. Daniel DeArmond's clinical specialty is the application of video-assisted thoracic surgery to operations for lung cancer, where the advantage to patients is a complete cancer operation with less pain, shorter hospital stays and a shorter recovery period. Dr. DeArmond completed his general surgery residency at the school of medicine at UT Health San Antonio and his cardiothoracic surgery residency at the University of Iowa. He is board certified by the American Board of Thoracic Surgery and the American Board of Surgery. He completed an additional year of fellowship training in general thoracic surgery at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles where he was exposed to a high-volume experience with VATS and thoracic endoscopy. During his surgical training, he spent three years in the lab researching the molecular mechanisms of cancer, which has allowed him to publish and present at numerous national meetings. He is interested in developing novel medical devices and drug therapies related to thoracic surgery.
