I am a pediatric cardiologist specializing in heart failure, transplant and ventricular assist devices. I was drawn to cardiology, and pediatric medicine in particular, because of the interplay between science, research and humanity. My patient care philosophy involves using a family-centered approach. It is important to me that my patients and their loved ones are involved in medical decision-making. I feel privileged to work at Cincinnati Children’s, where I have the opportunity to care for patients from around the world from infancy to adulthood.
My research focuses on neuromuscular diseases, particularly Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), as well as advanced pediatric heart failure. Through this work, I aim to improve cardiac outcomes and help my patients grow, thrive, and achieve the best possible quality of life.
