Medical specialties

Pediatric cardiology
Initial consultation services are provided at the request of primary care physicians or other health care providers. Pediatric Cardiology offers a full array of diagnostic capabilities in addition to clinical consultation. In concert with anesthesia and cardiothoracic surgery, the department undertakes all types of surgical procedures for both palliation and definitive repair of congenital and acquired cardiac defects. Board-certified pediatric cardiologists are available for consultation in Danville and in many local communities across Pennsylvania.

For hospitals and health care providers, the pediatric cardiology staff is available to evaluate EKGs or other rhythm tracings via fax (570) 271-7833. Interpretation of pediatric echocardiograms is also available. Videotapes should be sent to:
