A brief look at

What We Do

As pediatric cardiologists, we take care of patients with congenital and acquired heart disease. While the majority of our patients are in the pediatric age group, our care spans from prenatal evaluations of the fetus to ongoing follow-up of adults with congenital heart disease.

Fortunately, the vast majority of concerns can be diagnosed and treated on an outpatient basis. For those patients with more complex disease, we provide full time 24/7 inpatient coverage as part of the Department of Pediatrics at Albany Medical Center, where our inpatient Congenital Heart Program (see “Congenital Heart Program”) is based.
