About Us
Wellstar Pediatric Cardiology offers comprehensive heart care for children of all ages, from before birth through the college years. Our team of pediatric heart experts works together so children in our community have access to the care they need when they need it — and close to home.
Patient experience & quality care
Based on our patients’ ratings and reviews, Wellstar Pediatric Cardiology is recognized for providing the “people care” Wellstar is known for. Our patients’ families appreciate that we take our time with them, and many say they never feel rushed. We are also part of an international pediatric quality initiative and consistently rank as a top performer in providing evidence-based pediatric care, ranking in the 99-100th percentile.Coordinated pediatric medical care & support
Because many of our patients have syndromes that affect systems in the body in addition to the heart, they typically need different types of care. At Wellstar, our pediatric experts collaborate to provide the most coordinated care for our young patients. Our multidisciplinary medical team includes pediatric cardiologists, pediatricians, electrophysiologists, pediatric radiologists and other child-focused experts including urologists, neurologists and ear nose and throat specialists.Our comprehensive care team also includes medical geneticists and genetic counselors as well as pediatric nurses, technologists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, child life specialists, psychologists and registered dietitians.
Through our membership in the Mayo Clinic Care Network, Wellstar and Mayo Clinic experts work together to improve the delivery of healthcare.
