Pediatric Cardiology Practice Posed for Growth
The founding physician established this practice to provide expert care in pediatric cardiology and has led it through significant growth over the past twelve years. The practice is built on core values: prioritizing patient care, ensuring needs are promptly addressed, and fostering a pleasant work environment where staff are treated like family.
The practice offers a wide range of services for pediatric patients with an average age of 14. They specialize in evaluating children with congenital heart disease and see patients referred for chest pain, heart murmurs, irregular heart rate, and dizziness. Additionally, the practice has a significant number of patients presenting with symptoms of dysautonomia.
The services provided include EKG, echocardiography, fetal echocardiography, exercise stress testing, placement and interpretation of Holter monitors, and long-term event recorders. Although lab work is outsourced, they offer head-up tilt testing with a tilt table and venipuncture. Recently, they acquired a pulmonary function machine for basic spirometry and have a room available for administering IV fluids to patients. The practice offers specialized care for POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) patients. It is one of the few in the area that manages propranolol therapy for the treatment of infantile hemangiomas.
The payer mix comprises 28.94% Medicaid, 44.67% Commercial, and 26.39% Self-Pay/Other. The practice also draws patients from Vicksburg, Meridian, Hattiesburg, Greenville, Natchez, Brookhaven, and McComb, as well as from the metro Jackson area.
