Overview
I care for children with heart disease when they need care in the intensive care unit. I enjoy the challenge, complexity, and diversity that I get to encounter in my patients. No two patients are alike and I end each day with a sense of fulfillment getting to care for children and their families during some of the most challenging times of their lives. Caring for children in the ICU is not only about caring for the child but also caring for their friends and families. My passions also lie in research and education to improve patient care through training physicians, nurses, advanced practice providers and other members of the team who take care of our patients. I also work to provide education for our patients and their families so that they may better understand their disease process. Through research I strive to find answers to the questions I face every day in the care of our patients. I am proud to work in a field where I can make a difference in the lives of others. I enjoy hiking and swimming with my yellow lab, horse back riding and going on mission trips as often as I can.

Duke Children's Health Center Cardiology Clinic
I am the chief of pediatric heart surgery at Duke Health. Being a heart surgeon was always a dream of mine as a child. Spending a summer in medical school with legendary pediatric heart surgeon, Aldo Castaneda, cemented my desire to devote my life to this profession. Clinically, I love the creativity, complexity and challenge associated with my work. I am also able to satisfy my investigational curiosities through an active basic and clinical research laboratory focusing on congenital heart disease. I consider myself extremely lucky to be able to fulfill this dream back at Duke, a place that was so influential in my surgical training. Outside the hospital, I most enjoy spending time with my wife of 20+ years and three young children. We are an active family, always on the go… which mirrors my life at work.
