The state-of-the-art catheterization labs showcase some of the best technology in the field of pediatric cardiology.

Our Clinic Locations

At our heart clinic, we want to give your child comprehensive care in one setting. Your child may undergo multiple tests (ECHO, EKG, stress test, etc.) in one visit. Testing can sometimes take as long as three hours. We encourage you to bring books or toys that will entertain your child while waiting. Once the testing is complete, you will see your child’s doctor who will discuss the results and develop a care plan.
