Baylor College of Medicine Program
About This Program
We are fortunate to care for all of Houston's underserved cardiac patients within Harris County (Ben Taub Hospital) as well as Houston's large veteran population (Michael E. DeBakey VA Medical Center) with ample experience in patients needing quaternary care at our private hospital Baylor St. Luke's Medical Center. In addition, the adult congenital heart disease population is seen at the Texas Children's Hospital and our fellows have the privilege of working with them there.
