NURSE PRACTITIONERS/PHYSICIAN ASSISTANTS:

Our pediatric cardiologists bring specialized expertise in diagnosing and treating the full spectrum of congenital and acquired heart conditions. With advanced training and years of clinical experience, our cardiologists are leaders in their field – conducting research, publishing in prestigious journals and pioneering new treatment approaches. This wealth of knowledge translates into exceptional care for your child.

We understand that children have unique cardiac needs requiring specialized approaches. As pioneers in the treatment of abnormal heart rhythms with radiation-free ablation, our Heart Center offers innovative techniques that minimize radiation exposure and maximize safety. This groundbreaking approach allows us to effectively treat arrhythmias while protecting your child’s developing body from unnecessary radiation. We are also the first pediatric hospital in Ohio to use cryoablation, a technique that uses low temperatures to successfully destroy abnormal electrical pathways in the heart to restore a normal rhythm.

In recognition of our commitment to quality testing for the diagnosis of heart disease, we’ve been accredited by the Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation of Echocardiography Laboratories in the areas of pediatric and fetal echocardiography.

Our child-centered protocols are designed specifically for pediatric patients, from infants to teens.

We understand the importance of timely sports clearance for young athletes. That is why we offer quickly available appointments to ensure your child can get back to their favorite activities safely without delay. Our dedicated team of pediatric cardiologists is ready to provide thorough evaluations and answer any questions you may have about your child's heart health and fitness for sports.

Heart care works best when everyone works together. Our multidisciplinary team includes pediatric cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, specialized nurses, child life specialists, nutritionists and mental health professionals who collaborate to create comprehensive treatment plans. We also partner closely with referring physicians and other specialists involved in your child’s care. Most importantly, we consider parents and families essential members of the care team, valuing your insights and involving you in treatment decisions.
