Brian Hummel, M.D., F.A.C.S. is a proud alumnus of the University of Iowa College of Medicine where he received his medical degree and completed a cardiothoracic and vascular fellowship. He is board certified by the American Board of Surgery and the American Board of Thoracic Surgery. He is a fellow of the American College of Surgeons, American College of Chest Physicians, and American College of Cardiology.  He is the senior partner of Gulfcoast Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgeons, a very successful cardiothoracic and vascular practice with 11 talented surgeons in Fort Myers and Naples, Florida. The practice’s surgeons specialize in all aspects of cardiothoracic and vascular surgery including the newest robotic minimally invasive surgical techniques. Dr. Hummel has been named to “Who’s Who” and has been designated as one of the “Best Doctors in America.” 


Dr. Hummel moved to Florida from Iowa in 1985. In 1990, he opened his practice in Fort Myers where he and his family have lived ever since. His practice has expanded significantly over the past few years. Originally, he primarily focused on cardiothoracic patients, but expanded to include vascular and vein patients by merging with another highly successful vascular practice in 2005. Demand caused the practice to grow again and expand to the south into Naples, Florida.


Gulfcoast Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgeons and The Vein Center at Gulfcoast Surgeons are highly regarded as among the very best practices in Southwest Florida.
