MEET Dr. Asolati

Dr. Asolati started his medical education and surgical training in Italy at the University of Padua, then came to the United States 25 years ago for training in several high volume and highly successful multi-organ transplant centers: the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis for kidney and pancreas and Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas for liver transplants. He is a member of the American Society of Transplant Surgeons, the American Society of Transplantation, the International Liver Transplant Society, the International Pediatric Transplant Association, the Americas Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Association and the Transplantation Society. He is passionately committed to patient care and believes that the team approach in the program at Presbyterian/St. Luke’s Medical Center meets the unique and complex challenges transplant patients present.
