Personal Statement
My passion lies in providing exceptional care to our young patients, particularly in complex neonatal surgeries. I am dedicated to ensuring each child receives the best possible treatment and outcomes.
My commitment to pediatric cardiac care extends beyond our borders. Through international experience, I have been privileged to develop and enhance pediatric cardiac programs, expanding access to lifesaving treatments for children worldwide.
With every surgery and patient encounter, I am driven by a desire to make a difference in the lives of children and their families. At Texas Children's Hospital, I am honored to be part of the team dedicated to advancing pediatric health care and providing hope and healing to those who need it most.
