Personal Statement

I am a general pediatric cardiologist specializing in congenital heart disease, echocardiography, fetal cardiology (diagnosing congenital heart disease while the baby is still in the womb), heart murmurs, pediatric chest pain, high blood pressure in children/adolescents, and various other clinical topics related to a child’s heart health. I work hard to deliver the best care to my patients and their families, catering to each family’s unique needs when necessary. I understand the possibility of a child having heart disease can be stressful to children and parents. Therefore, I take time with families during each visit to make sure all questions and concerns are addressed. I am very excited to be part of the excellent pediatric cardiology team at Weill Cornell Medicine!
