"Using my focus in multi-modality cardiac imaging, I find that supporting patients from a pediatric cardiology perspective has been the most rewarding for me. And it is this overall support that remains one of my highest priorities in my career. I don't accomplish this on my own; I love how the Seattle Children's Heart Center integrates teamwork, the latest technologies, and up-to-date research. All together, we strive to deliver the most effective care for our patients."
