Additional clinic availability

In addition to our Greenville clinic, we offer pediatric heart care in the following locations:

What to expect during your visit

Above all, we are committed to providing personalized, child-friendly care in a nurturing environment. During the initial appointment, your child will most likely undergo an electrocardiogram (EKG) and/or echocardiogram (echo). Both tests are painless and non-invasive, and a Child Life Specialist will be available to help lessen anxiety and stress. These tests, along with an examination and review of your child’s medical history, will help us make a diagnosis and develop a personalized plan for ongoing care.
