PROFESSIONAL HISTORY
I am a pediatric and fetal cardiologist at Boston Children’s Hospital with focus in non-invasive imaging at Boston Children’s Hospital. My clinical focuses are echocardiography, particularly fetal echocardiography, management of congenital heart disease, and Kawasaki Disease.
My research interests include diastolic function in left-sided congenital heart disease, fetal diagnosis and management of complex congenital heart disease, and Kawasaki Disease.
