Patient Story

"When they told me that my baby might be born with a heart condition, I was so scared. My fetal cardiologist, Dr. Srivastava, was comforting and reassuring through it all.  I can't thank Nemours enough for taking such good care of my baby."
— Michelle, mother of a baby born with a congenital heart defect
