Willard Fallis M.D., FACS (Ret.) | Principal, C.T.S.R. is a highly respected retired licensed cardiovascular surgeon who served in the medical profession for 32 years before retiring from active surgery in 2018. Throughout his career, he built a reputation for excellence, precision, leadership, and compassionate care in one of the most demanding specialties in medicine.
His professional journey provided deep exposure to:
The Surgical Years (Pre-2018)
Before addressing the logistics of medical devices, my primary identity was forged in the cardiovascular operating theater. For thirty-two years, I held an unrestricted license to practice medicine with a specialization in Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery.
My career was defined by the management of high-stakes, high-acuity environments. I have performed and supervised thousands of procedures including, but not limited to, Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG), Valve Repair and Replacement (Mechanical and Bioprosthetic), Aortic Aneurysm Repair, and implantation of Ventricular Assist Devices (VADs).
This tenure provided an exhaustive, tactile education in:
Hemodynamics & Physiology: Understanding the exact pressure gradients a catheter or cannula must withstand.
Biocompatibility: An intimate knowledge of how synthetic materials interact with blood and tissue, mitigating the risk of thrombosis and infection.
Intraoperative Workflow: I know precisely how a scrub nurse moves, how a perfusionist monitors the pump, and where equipment failure creates the most dangerous friction points.
Transition to Supply Chain & Contracting (2018 – Present)
Upon retiring from the physical demands of surgery in 2018, I recognized a critical gap in the medical supply chain: Clinical Illiteracy in Procurement. I witnessed too many hospitals and government agencies purchasing equipment based on vendor relationships or lowest bid alone, only to discover that the devices were clinically cumbersome or incompatible with established surgical workflows.
As a semi-retired contractor and supplier, I leverage my clinical network and technical knowledge to bridge this gap. I do not carry a vast warehouse of generic inventory. Instead, I operate as a lean, high-expertise Vendor-Neutral Consultant and Specialty Sourcing Agent. I specialize in:
To apply the unwavering precision, sterile conscience, and patient-first ethos of the cardiovascular operating room to the procurement and supply of medical technology. We exist to ensure that every clinic, hospital, or government facility receives equipment that is not merely functional, but surgically superior.
A healthcare landscape where the gap between clinician need and supply chain reality is non-existent. We envision a procurement process where the voice of the surgeon, the cardiologist, and the interventional radiologist is the primary driver of purchasing decisions, resulting in better outcomes and lower long-term costs due to reduced complications and equipment failure.
We only source equipment we would have personally trusted on our own operating table.
We are not tied to a single manufacturer. Our loyalty is to the clinical outcome and the fiscal health of the client.
We translate complex clinical jargon for the procurement office and complex contractual jargon for the clinical staff.
