Introduction

I am a noninvasive pediatric cardiologist with extensive experience in transthoracic and fetal echocardiography and an excellent training in transesophageal echocardiography and cardiac MRI’s. Besides the clinical skills, I also possess the unique experience of working in different clinical setting in various parts of the country including East coast, Mid-west and South along with setting up a new pediatric cardiology program from the scratch. As a pediatric cardiologist, I strive to provide a comprehensive, individualized care in a compassionate manner, working closely with families and patients to advance their cardiac health and improve their quality of life. I believe in compassionate care delivered in cost efficient and sustainable way.
