"I was drawn to pediatric cardiac surgery by the opportunity to make a very real difference in the lives of children with difficult medical problems. My greatest reward is helping these children live healthy, happy lives. We are privileged to have access to cutting-edge medical technology in this country. I work every day to apply this technology in ways that improve the quality of life for my patients."

    • Emily Gig Harbor, WA 08.31.23

      8 years ago my son, Sam, was born with coarctation of the aorta and a huge VSD. Dr. McMullan gave me so much hope and even waited with us for our sons baptism before being wheeled away for emergency surgery. Our son is healthy and thriving… This mom heart could never thank him enough!

    • Stephanie Cascade, MT 06.30.23

      Dr McMullan was the best pediatric cardiology surgeon we could have possibly asked for! He was so kind and compassionate to us terrified parents. Several nurses commented after our son's surgery that his recovery seemed to be going so well because of Dr McMullan's incredible surgical skills. We pray our son won't need another surgery, but if he does we will definitely request Dr McMullan again!

    • Marc Sitka, AK 08.10.22

      My son is now 10.5 y/o, thanks to Dr. McMullan. He was born with TGA, had the arterial switch at 6 days old. He is very active and does plays sports. We can never thank you enough, you have that healing touch. The surgeons hand. All the RN’s and staff of Seattle Childrens Hospital, we thank you.

    • Ashley Edmonds, WA 01.11.21

      Thanks to Dr. Mcmullan our new born baby boy was given a second chance after having open heart surgery at only 6 hours old. He is now 3 weeks old and surgery has proven successful thus far. Thank you so much for saving our baby boy when the odds were against him!

    • Justine Tacoma washington 12.09.19

      I would recommend Dr. McMullin to everyone. He saved my sons life at 4 days old but completing his Tetralogy of fallot repair and fixing his displaced PA. I couldn't have asked for a better surgeon. He did everything perfect and my son has been so much better than they ever expected. He gave my son his life and I could never thank him enough.

    • Allison Palmer, Alaska 03.15.18

      Dr. McMullan is truly an amazing surgeon and human. After being airlifted to Seattle Children's Hospital with our week old daughter, we learned that she needed open heart surgery. Dr. McMullan was patient, professional and compassionate with my husband and I. After he reviewed the success of the surgery with us, he graciously accepted a huge hug! We are grateful daily for Dr. McMullan, his amazing abilities and talent as a doctor.

    • Rebecca Juneau, Alaska 02.02.18

      Thank you Dr. McMullen. My Grandaughter is thriving at 4.5 months. After, her open heart surgery at one day old for TOF. You are my hero ! She is a happy beautiful baby girl!

    • Rachelle Yakima, WA 01.19.18

      Dr. McMullin saved our daughters life. The level of care he gives to families and concerned parents is some of the most compassionate medical care we have ever received. Having to sign the form for my daughters open heart surgery was the hardest day of our four months at Children's. I have Dr McMullin and Dr. Permut to thank for the health and life of my daughter. I will be forever grateful.

    • Rebecca Juneau, Alaska 10.17.17

      Dr. McMullen, the Nurses and Staff at Seattle Children's Hospital saved my Grandaughters life. She was born with Tetralogy of fallot and had a full repair at one day old. This was open heart surgery on a day old infant. I've never been so scared in my life ! Words cannot express the gratitude I have for the Miricle of my Grandaughters life!

    • Ryan Port Orchard, WA 05.22.17

      Our daughter had a complicated heart issue. It wasn't an easy fix. We were so afraid. It was the hardest time of our life. Dr. McMullan came in and took control. He performed a heart surgery on my 3.5 month daughter and saved her life. Words can't express our gratitude. Thank you Dr. McMullan. May God bless you and your family.

    • Jay Bellevue, WA 09.23.16

      Dr. McMullan's profile is full of amazing reviews, but I think I need to add another one. Dr. McMullan did a surgery for my baby's heart defect. It was the most difficult time for me and my wife, but we were glad we had Dr. McMullan with us. He did an amazing job, and our baby is almost completely healthy now. When my baby laughs out loud, when he swings his arms or screams in joy, I know it is all because of what he did. Thank you.

    • jason Olympia, wa 02.28.16

      A miracle worker. Spent over 5 hours with my daughter in open heart surgery to fix a heart defect. She is going on 2 now and is perfect. I'd really like to express how indebted I am to you. I'd also really like to bring her by the hospital for her birthday. The outreach program hasn't responded to my inquires. Your awesome, keep doing what you do. You and your peers literally have the largest impact on people's lives. I've never been more desperate and more grateful than the hours my daughter was in surgery.

    • Stefani Olympia, Washington 07.24.13

      Dr. Michael McMullan, you're an amazing surgeon! If it weren't for you I probably wouldn't be here today! You fixed up my heart! I finally graduated high school and now I'm doing an Insanity workout. It's one of the hardest workouts! Thanks to you my heart doesn't skip beats anymore! I'm focusing on exercising my heart and eating healthy! I'm suppose to get another surgery in a year or so and I'm hoping I get you to fix it up again! I feel a lot better and you can definitely tell a difference! Thanks to you, you saved my life and now I can live a full and happy life :)

    • Kim Spokane wa 06.17.13

      Dr. McMullan happened to be working the day our son Kyle received his new heart. We will be forever grateful that he was part of our son's gift of life. Thank you for following us through a very tough journey he is 16 now and doing amazing.

    • Carrie Kennewick, Wa 02.22.11

      Dr.McMullan is a wonderful surgeon as well as being wonderful with our family. He can really put your mind at ease as a parent, and that is a tough thing to do. Thank you Dr. McMullan.

    • Maribel Burien,WA 02.11.11

      Two hours after my son was born a Doctor said that only 1% with the same heart condition survive but once we were in children's Dr. McMullan came to the room and explain my son condition and the steps to fix my baby's heart. Thanks to this Dr. I had a reason to look forward in life. My son is now 3 years old and doing just great.

Clinical Interests

His clinical and research interests include complex neonatal heart surgery and improving patient safety during mechanical cardiopulmonary support.

Research Description

The focus of our research is developing improved mechanical extracorporeal life support systems (ECLS). Combined with optimized clinical management protocols, improved ECLS circuit designs provide increased clinical flexibility and patient safety. Current projects include system enhancements that enable decreased anticoagulation, reduced circuit size, and elimination of unnecessary components. Additionally, we are focusing on alternative methods of care provider education to increase quality assurance.

Research Focus Area

Quality Improvement, Congenital Cardiac Surgery Outcomes
