We’re Minnesota’s top destination for children’s cardiology care, where world-leading pediatric heart expertise meets unmatched compassion.

Overview

Our experts offer comprehensive care for all kinds of heart conditions, from diagnosis and treatment starting before birth to lifelong follow-up care so your child can have the brightest future possible. This includes comprehensive care for the entire spectrum of congenital heart defects, rhythm problems, and acquired illnesses that can affect your child’s heart, as well as care for adults with congenital heart disease. Our cardiologists see children at pediatric specialty clinics throughout the Twin Cities metro, making it easy for your family to access expert heart care. When advanced care or surgery is needed, you can trust in the teams at M Health Fairview Masonic Children's Hospital, our nationally recognized children’s hospital located on a leading academic hospital campus in Minneapolis. Our team of innovators is leading the nation in developing new treatment methods for kids of all ages in partnership with the physician scientists at the University of Minnesota – which means your child can get access to clinical trials and breakthrough treatments that may not be available anywhere else.

It is our mission to bring help and hope to pediatric heart patients.

Our approach

At M Health Fairview Pediatrics, our team is known for its groundbreaking work delivering compassionate, patient-centered cardiology care to infants, children, and adolescents.

We offer a full spectrum of care and robust support programs for heart problems in patients of all ages, from before birth in our fetal cardiology program through childhood and adolescence into adulthood and beyond. From routine issues to life-changing challenges, we take a whole-child approach that addresses the child’s and family’s physical, mental, social, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

We’re also home to Minnesota’s largest fetal cardiology program, working with families to diagnose congenital heart disease in the womb, plan for a safe delivery, and provide life-saving treatment in the critical moments after birth.

Our services include:

Comprehensive diagnostic testing, including EKGs, echocardiograms, exercise testing, tilt-table testing, Holter monitors, and event monitors.
A detailed treatment plan developed in partnership with your family to meet your child’s unique needs. This may include medications, lifestyle modifications, and procedures or surgery.
Lifelong follow-up care to track your child’s health, which includes regular follow-up testing, and adjustments or additional treatment as your child grows. When your child turns 18, there is no need to find a new healthcare provider. We can help your child and family make a seamless transition to adult care.
