Our pediatric cardiologists care for infants, children, and teens with suspected heart disease. Our care includes everything from evaluation to more complex testing and invasive procedures. Children may need to see to a pediatric cardiologist if they are suspected of having a heart condition. They may also see a pediatric cardiologist for specialized care for their heart condition.
We host more than 8,000 outpatient visits and consultations per year. Our department is a member of the Regional Program in Pediatric Cardiology, a partnership between Dartmouth Health Children's and Fletcher Allen Health Care. When necessary, we collaborate with Children's Hospital in Boston on clinical and surgical cases.
