Biography
I am a cardiac surgeon focused on diagnosing, treating and operating on patients with congenital heart disease. I serve as surgical director of the Adult Congenital Heart Disease (ACHD) program at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. I am also a pediatric heart surgeon and distinguished member of the Heart Center at Nationwide Children’s Hospital.
I have extensive experience treating abnormalities, including hypoplastic left heart syndrome and anomalous coronary arteries. I perform neonatal heart surgery and procedures such as complex pulmonary artery reconstruction.
