This means your child has access to all of Seattle Children's services, from prenatal consultation to cardiac care for young adults.

We met with Dr. Salaam Sallaam, who gave us his undivided attention and took the time to answer all of my questions. Because of Seattle Children's, my daughter lives life to the fullest.

Why choose Central Washington Cardiology?

Clear communication: We work with you and your primary care provider to make a treatment plan for your child's needs. We discuss your children's condition and treatment options in ways you can understand.
All our heart doctors (cardiologists) are board certified in pediatrics and trained to meet the specific needs of children and teens.
Easy access: We can see most new patients within 7 days. We hold urgent slots for patients who need to be seen right away. For the most complex needs, we can quickly involve providers on the Heart Center team in Seattle.
Full spectrum of cardiology care: Our experts provide timely access to all cardiac services within the Heart Center at Seattle Children's. This means your child has access to all of Seattle Children's services, from prenatal consultation, to heart surgery, to heart care for young adults.
We offer fetal echocardiograms, a specialized ultrasound that uses sound waves to make pictures of a developing baby's heart. Usually, we do a fetal echocardiogram 18 to 22 weeks into the pregnancy. We offer fetal echocardiogram as early as 14 weeks in some cases.
Seattle Children's Central Washington Cardiology is accredited through the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission (IAC) in both transthoracic and fetal echocardiography.
