The field of congenital heart surgery has undergone great advancements in the last half century. Most serious birth defects of the heart can now be treated using surgical operations that have a very low risk of mortality. We can now provide a great deal of hope and success for most children with congenital heart defects and their families, and ongoing scientific advances continue to push us further.

For me, there is no greater satisfaction than performing surgery on a very sick newborn and then seeing that patient return to my office as an otherwise normal, healthy child. As a parent of two young children, I empathize deeply with parents and families as they try to navigate the nebulous health care system to do all they can to help their children overcome such conditions.

I want families to know that their child’s health is infinitely important to me. Being given the opportunity to care for your child is a tremendous honor and privilege, one that my team and I take very seriously. We will draw upon all of our cumulative expertise and ability to provide your child with the best care possible so he or she can live a long and healthy life.
