From the moment, our firstborn daughter, Renee, came
into our family; our dream was to complete our family with a boy. The day
we confirmed that our second child would be a boy, our dream was interrupted
by a phone call indicating that it appeared there was a problem with his
heart and we would need to meet with Dr. Jon Donnelly and his team at Pediatric
Cardiology Associates. What should have been one of the happiest moments
of our lives, turned into a time of fear and uncertainty. Upon meeting with
Dr. Donnelly, although he confirmed that our son did have a serious heart
condition which would require several surgeries, he gave us back our hope.
Dr. Donnelly and his team have always treated our son, Robbie-Mike, like
he was their only patient. They have administered not just to his physical
concerns but also to his emotional and psychological needs. They have demonstrated
an amazing ability to be simultaneously professional and sympathetic addressing
the needs of our entire family. On numerous occasions, we have placed in
their hands the life of one of our two most precious possessions and they
have never let us down. Our faith in their God-given abilities increases
each time we have had to count on them.
In the last three and a half years, our son has undergone three surgeries, which have resulted in a very strong-willed, happy and otherwise healthy little boy. Although no one knows what the future may hold, we are grateful for everything that Dr. Donnelly and his team at Pediatric Cardiology Associates has done for our son and our family. We are confident that they have and will continue to provide the very best care possible.
We have been blessed to watch our daughter grow from infancy and become a beautiful young lady who has recently graduated from college. Through these years, the staff at Pediatric Cardiology Associates have been supportive, caring and always there to help us all adjust to the expected and unexpected. Each doctor and staff member has always answered our questions, cared for our daughter as their own and been a simple phone call away in emergencies. We will always be grateful for not only their expert medical care and wisdom, but also for their compassion and love for our daughter.
Growing up with a heart defect can be a very scary and confusing thing. However, for as long as I can remember, the staff at Pediatric Cardiology have tried to make it everything but. All that I have gone through over the years has been explained to me and my parents in a direct and comprehensive manner. I also feel as though they genuinely care for me and about what is going on in my life, and that I am not just another patient they have to get in and out of the office. As I have grown up and become an adult, I appreciate more and more what the doctors and nurses do for me every time I go into see them.
Our son, Ryan, has been a patient of Dr. Epstein and
Pediatric Cardiology Associates since 2003. Dr. Epstein diagnosed Ryan
with Long Q-T Syndrome, a life-threatening heart condition. 
A
few months after diagnosis, Ryan had cardiac arrest. Ryan's life was saved
due to the accurate diagnosis and the measures Dr. Epstein put in place. It
is the combination of an ICD, medication, and quality medical care from
Dr. Epstein and his staff that Ryan is still with us today enjoying a safe
and fulfilling life. We are forever grateful that we live so close to Pediatric
Cardiology Associates. The peace of mind we have knowing they are there for
our son is immeasurable.
Before my son Joseph was born, we were not aware he had any medical issues. We were very surprised when we were informed that he had a complex congenital heart defect. Over the next two years, we had to have many interactions with the doctors at Pediatric Cardiology Associates. They have been very empathetic and supportive for Joseph and our family. There were many unfortunate set backs during those first two years and the doctors have been able to provide the necessary information in the most compassionate ways. Joseph is now a very active and energetic little man who lives very comfortably with his cardiac condition thanks to the entire staff at PCA. It is never traumatic for Joseph to come in for his visit. The staff is happy to see him just as he is happy to see them.
