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.
