My care philosophy
I provide specialized care of individuals with genetic forms of cardiovascular disease. As a Clinical Geneticist and Pediatric cardiologist, I am in a unique position to diagnose the underlying etiologies of congenital heart disease, cardiomyopathies and aortopathy in children and adolescents. I treat many children with these conditions as their cardiologist; I also serve as a resource and genetics consultant to pediatric cardiologists within our practice and in the greater Rocky Mountain region.
