Dr. Law provided dedicated and compassionate care to our daughter, adopted from overseas at end stage CHD, during her evaluation for cardiac transplant and throughout the transplant and post transplant process. From ECMO to a running, jumping, talking, and thriving 3 year old, Dr. Law's care exemplified the standard of excellence that is the Seattle Children's Transplant Program.

Simply can not say enough about Dr. Law and the team he works with. We are forever grateful for his dedication to the children. I highly recommend Dr. Law.

Dr. Law has done a wonderful job repairing my SVT. He told me that he could fix the problem in my heart and my condition has not returned after having the surgery in 2009. He has improved my way of life drastically and I think he's the best cardiologist I've ever worked with.
