Schedule Appointment

I specialize in providing surgical care for people with congenital heart disease. My dedication to this population begins in infancy and continues into adulthood, when patients often require additional surgical care.

Surgical options for treatment of congenital heart disease and heart failure are advancing rapidly, and I am happy to bring these innovations to my care. I provide treatment for heart defects, or heart failure that occurs because of these defects. This includes procedures for adults and children to correct structural heart defects, the use of implantable devices to support the failing heart, and heart transplant. I treat all my patients with the same attentive care that I would want my own children to receive.

As the surgical director of NYU Langone’s Pediatric Heart Failure and Transplant Program, part of the Pediatric Congenital Heart Program at Hassenfeld Children’s Hospital at NYU Langone, I oversee surgical care for children with heart failure that has been unresponsive to standard medical therapy. We also provide heart transplant for children with heart failure when this is deemed to be the best option.

Through the Adult Congenital Heart Disease Program, I provide surgical treatment for adults, many of whom were diagnosed with congenital heart defects in childhood. It is a privilege to watch my patients grow through adulthood, start their own families, and prosper in their adult lives with the confidence that their condition is being managed and treated by a highly experienced team of experts in adult congenital heart disease.

With my youngest patients, parents want to know if or how a condition will affect their child’s future and overall development. I tell parents that we do everything within our capabilities to ensure children can go home and live normal, happy lives. My adult patients have their own questions about their future heart health. I sit down with each patient and family and address their concerns at length, encouraging them to ask questions. Patient education is a key element of my work, and I take the time to provide as much information as possible.

It is a great privilege and blessing to be able to make a difference in the lives of my patients and their families. A good day for me is when a procedure goes as planned and the patient does well after surgery. A great day is when, on top of that, I learn something new from providing care and become a better surgeon.
