About Richard L DuBois

Richard Dubois MD, is an Assistant Professor of Surgery within the Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery. He is a thoracic surgeon who specializes in lung transplantation, ECMO, tracheal surgery, and minimally-invasive thoracic surgery. After attending medical school at the University at Buffalo, he completed general surgery residency at Columbia University in New York City. During this time, he completed an adult ECMO fellowship. He then completed his cardiothoracic surgery fellowship at the University of Washington. In addition to his clinical activities, he is heavily involved in education and training within the Cardiothoracic Surgery Residency Program and General Surgery Residency Program.

Dr. Dubois believes in a team-based, multi-disciplinary approach to the care of all patients. Utilization of expertise within the domains of pulmonology, intensive care, and anesthesia is crucial to the care of patients undergoing lung transplant and patients that require ECMO support for respiratory failure. Dr. Dubois has a passion for improving the quality of life of patients with end-stage lung disease and believes that the University of Washington has the best team to support patients throughout their journey. Additionally, Dr. Dubois endeavors to apply minimally-invasive techniques to both benign and malignant thoracic surgical pathology in hopes of improving post-operative pain and limiting recovery time following surgery.
 
Dr. Dubois has clinical expertise in the management of end-stage lung disease through lung transplantation, endobronchial valve placement, and lung volume reduction surgery. Additionally, he has received training in the management of both benign and malignant tracheal lesions through flexible and rigid bronchoscopy, airway stenting, and tracheal resection and reconstruction. Additional areas of expertise include minimally invasive thoracic surgery and ECMO.
