Personal Statement

I am a pediatric cardiologist who specializes in non-invasive cardiac imaging, including cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), cardiac computed tomography (CT), fetal echocardiography, transesophageal echocardiography, and transthoracic echocardiography. I was drawn to this specialty because of the crucial role of non-invasive imaging in the diagnosis and management of pediatric heart disease, which continues to expand with technological advances. I am continually impressed by the strength and courage of my patients with heart disease and their families. It is a privilege to be a part of their journey.
