Overview

I am a pediatric cardiologist dedicated to caring for children with heart failure, cardiomyopathies, and those who require mechanical circulatory support. My focus includes managing complex conditions like dilated, restrictive, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, as well as caring for children with single ventricle physiology, including those with Fontan circulation. I take a personal and compassionate approach, building strong relationships with both my patients and their families. My goal is to not only treat these challenging conditions but to provide comfort, support, and a sense of hope, all while working together to improve the lives of these incredible young patients.

As a general pediatric surgeon, I take care of children with many different conditions of the chest or abdomen. These conditions can include birth defects, cancers, injuries caused by accidents and more. I also serve as chief of the division of pediatric surgery at Duke. When a child needs surgical care, it is one of the most challenging times in a family’s life. We are surrounded by a great team at Duke, which gives families the peace of mind that their child is in the best hands possible. I enjoy my role, because I not only get to work with families during times of challenge and happiness, but with staff members who are dedicated to keeping children healthy. I also relish my role in training young surgeons who are dedicated to helping children grow up as healthy as possible. Dr. Rice is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in Gastrostomy. His top areas of expertise are Hereditary Spherocytosis, Atresia of Small Intestine, Umbilical Hernia, Splenectomy, and Thrombectomy.
