Dr. Tymoteusz “Tym” Kajstura, MD, PhD joined the Cardiac Division of the Anesthesiology and Critical Care Department in August 2025. He has completed medical school, a PhD in neuroscience, residency in Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine – where he was a chief resident – and a fellowship in Adult Cardiothoracic Anesthesiology, all at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. He is thrilled to be staying on as full-time faculty. His clinical effort will be split between the Cardiac Division, the Adult Multispecialty Division, and the liver transplantation team. He is interested in transesophageal echocardiography education as well as intra-operative management of solid organ transplantation.

Dr. Kajstura was born in Krakow, Poland, but is a proud and grateful to be a Baltimore, MD transplant. He and his wife, Ellen, live in the city with their two children. He is an avid runner and budding cyclist, and always up for a run or a ride – the longer, the better.
