Philosophy

The first time that Dr. Noon walked into the operating room as a medical student, he knew that the operating room was where he wanted to be. The hours spent working in the operating room may seem long to some, but for Dr. Noon, they pass quickly because he is doing exactly what he loves and is meant to do. During his surgical residency, it didn't take long for his professors to learn that the operating room is where his talents were expressed. His excellence awarded him a position on Dr. Michael E. DeBakey's surgical team soon after completing his thoracic residency. Teaching medical students, residents, and fellows about surgical technique and care of the surgical patient is a very significant and pleasurable part of Dr. Noon's work. As a Professor of Surgery, Dr. Noon also finds it extremely important to continue learning and improving surgical techniques. His work as a researcher affords the opportunity to ask how the practice of surgery can be improved and provides the answers by implementing clinical trials. As Chief of the Division of Transplant and Assist Devices, Dr. Noon is able to focus on the development of one of his greatest interests, circulatory assist devices.

Dr. Noon is an excellent physician and scientist; however, one of his greatest gifts is his ability to communicate with his patients. Patients hear the warmth in his voice and sense that he is honest and sincere when he talks about their condition. A patient visit is not complete until Dr. Noon is certain that all of the patient's and their family's questions are answered. Such qualities impart a true feeling of confidence in their physician. In addition, they know that Dr. Noon or one of his team members will be available if they need them. As the leader of his surgical team, it is important to Dr. Noon that each team member provides the best possible care to each patient and focuses on their individual needs. Dr. Noon spends many hours a day at the hospital caring for patients who need him, even at the expense of taking much time from his personal life. However, for Dr. Noon, providing a service to patients and the medical community has been as much pleasure as it has been work.
