Since 1983, PCC’s board-certified physicians have
been diagnosing and treating young patients with cardiac
abnormalities, both congenital and acquired. The science
of pediatric cardiology includes an understanding of the
anatomy and function of the normal heart, as well as the
development of abnormalities during fetal life and those
acquired after birth. When necessary, these abnormalities
may be treated or repaired medically or surgically. The
treatment of congenital heart disease can begin before
birth and can continue into adulthood.
Over the years, PCC has established a main office at the
Florida Hospital Orlando Medical Plaza with satellite clinics
in Melbourne (Viera), Daytona Beach, Tavares, and Sebring.
The practice continues to grow, incorporating new technology
as it becomes available to the medical community. We
believe in our commitment to maintaining a high standard
of excellence through our well-trained and professional staff.
Our caring environment enables our practice to strive and
deliver individualized care to each of our patients. |

A pediatric cardiologist is a pediatrician specialized in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac abnormalities, both congenital and acquired, that affect mainly individuals in the pediatric age group. The science of pediatric cardiology includes an understanding of how the heart is formed, the functions of the heart, how abnormalities develop and determining how to treat and repair abnormalities medically and surgically. The treatment of congenital heart disease can begin before birth and can continue into adulthood.
When a pediatrician detects a potential heart problem, the patient will be referred to a pediatric cardiologist for further evaluation. A referral to a pediatric cardiologist could be for a heart murmur, cyanosis, chest pain, palpitation, dizziness or tachycardia. Pediatric cardiologists are trained to conduct and interpret diagnostic tests such as an electrocardiogram, echocardiogram, holter monitor, stress test and cardiac catheterization. When patients have a significant heart problem that might require surgery, a pediatric cardiologist and pediatric cardiac surgeon coordinate to deliver care to their patient. The pediatric cardiologist is also responsible for the continuing care of the patient after heart surgery.
