Pediatric Cardiology provides clinical services to children with suspected heart defects from birth to late adolescence. We also have a fetal cardiology program in collaboration with Maternal and Fetal Medicine that provides fetal echocardiography and counseling to expectant mothers with suspected congenital heart defects.

  • We provide most of the necessary cardiac testing in an outpatient setting (EKG, Echo, cardiac monitors, stress testing, etc.)
  • We provide telemedicine to referring physicians and hospitals
  • We are committed to teaching and training our medical students and pediatric residents
