I achieve this by providing accessible, high quality, individualized, compassionate care for children and their families with an emphasis on education and restoring the patient to an active, healthy life. Because adult coronary heart disease is established undetected in childhood, another goal is recognizing and treating obesity, inactivity, diabetes, smoking, poor nutrition, and hyperlipidemia in children in the community I serve emphasizing accurate diagnosis and treatment of predisposing congenital lipid abnormalities. ## Education and training **Medical school:** Southern Illinois University School of Medicine **Internship:** University of Kentucky Hospital; Methodist Medical Center Peoria **Residency:** St. Louis Children's Hospital - Washington University **Fellowship:** St. Louis Children's Hospital - Washington Univ., Hospital for Sick Children ## Board certifications - Pediatric Cardiology - Board Certified ## Affiliations ### Other - Mills-Peninsula Medical Group ## Accepted insurance Search plan or carrier name **Aetna (1 plan)** ### Aetna - Aetna Value Network HMO (AVN) **Alignment (4 plans)** ### Alignment - Alignment Health Plan My Choice (Medicare Advantage PPO) - Alignment Health Sutter Advantage +More (Medicare Advantage HMO) - Retiree Options (Medicare Advantage HMO) - Retiree Options (Medicare Advantage PPO) **Anthem Blue Cross of California (6 plans)** ### Anthem Blue Cross of California - Advantage HMO - Anthem Blue Cross HMO Saver Small Group Plan - Anthem Blue Cross HMO, also sometimes known as California Care or Rural Cal Care (includes CalPERS Traditional HMO) - Anthem Blue Cross HMO/POS (California Care Plus) - Anthem Blue Cross Small Group HMO (also sometimes known as California Care) - Direct Access **Blue Shield of California (3 plans)** ### Blue Shield of California - Blue Shield Access+ HMO CalPERS Limited Network - Blue Shield Access+ HMO Plan - Blue Shield Added Advantage POS (Point-Of-Service) Plan**Note:** - PPO Benefit Level Coverage can vary, so we suggest confirming with your health plan and provider’s office before your visit. ## Care locations 2051 Pioneer Court San Mateo, CA 94403 [Get directions](https://www.google.com/maps/dir/?api=1&destination=2051+Pioneer+Court+San+Mateo%2C+CA+94403+US) [650-558-8280](tel:+16505588280) 650-558-8281 ## Areas of expertise Explore the services and treatments this provider may offer. **Clinical expertise** ### Procedures - Cardiopulmonary exercise testing - Echocardiogram - Fetal Echocardiogram - Lipid Management - Non-Invasive Imaging - Preventive Cardiology ### Conditions - Acquired heart disease - Congenital Heart Disease - Cough Syncope - Fetal Cardiology - Kawasaki disease - Pericardial Disease - Pulmonary Vascular Disease - Structural Heart Disease - Syncope ### Reasons for visit - Neonatal Cardiology - Pacemaker Services - Pediatric Cardiovascular Risk Assessment ## Related services offered by Sutter - [Pediatric heart and vascular care](https://www.sutterhealth.org/services/pediatric-heart-and-vascular) ### Disclaimer _This provider directory is provided as a convenience to you.
