Summary

  • Board certified congenital cardiac surgeon practicing at an academic, free standing children's hospital in Los Angeles. I completed integrated cardiothoracic surgery residency at the University of Southern California. Then traveled to Great Ormond Street Hospital in London for further fellowship training in pediatric cardiothoracic surgery. I then returned to Children's Hospital Los Angeles to complete accredited congenital cardiac surgical fellowship. Following completion of fellowship I joined the staff at CHLA where I have experience in performing all types of congenital cardiac surgery from neonates to adults.
