Overview

As an attending in the Pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care Unit at Duke Children's Hospital I take pride in caring for infants, children, and adolescents with congenital and acquired heart disease. As a pediatric cardiologist and critical care physician I am privileged to work with a talented group of physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, respiratory therapists, pharmacists, nutritionists, and social workers who provide comprehensive multi-disciplinary care to our patients. I am proud to be a part of an institution that strives to raise the standards of patient safety and outcomes while advocating for our patients and their families. When not in the hospital I enjoy spending time with my wife, hiking, exercising, great BBQ, and science fiction.

I am a pediatric cardiologist and help care for children with congenital and acquired heart conditions. I have advanced training in non-invasive imaging modalities, including echocardiography, MRI, and CT to provide accurate and detailed assessments of cardiovascular health in children. These tools are invaluable in evaluating heart conditions without the need for invasive procedures, making them ideal for our youngest patients. I prioritize a personalized approach, understanding that each child’s heart condition is unique. Outside of the clinical setting, I am passionate about advancing the field through research and education. I believe in a team-based approach to deliver the best possible outcomes for my patients.
