Congenital Heat Disease Specialists in Houston, TX

As children transition into adolescence and adulthood, life brings new challenges for those with heart defects. These may include more physical activity, stress, and tough decision-making responsibilities.

Long-Term Heart Disease Care

People born with a congenital heart disease require lifelong care because their conditions can frequently have highly complex medical issues. Thanks to advancements in medicine, the disease is manageable with smart preparation, ongoing care and routine screenings. Patients are able to enjoy productive and fulfilling lives.

Board-Certified Expertise

Receiving treatments for adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) requires the expertise of a specialized cardiologist who is board certified in ACHD care. This means our health care providers have received extensive training in the care of adult patients with congenital heart disease.
Our multispecialty care team is here to help you understand your unique needs, provide advice and offer solutions that fit your lifestyle.
