Carrie Evans Herbert, MD

“My goal is to treat every patient the same way I would want my own child treated. As an interventionalist, I have the ability to improve patient outcomes using a less invasive approach than open heart surgery. I love being able to manage long-term care for my patients and see infants grow into healthy adults.”

Her desire to become a physician began when, as a child, she witnessed the difficulties of her grandmother's hospitalization. Dr. Herbert loves the challenges of cardiac anatomy and pathophysiology. She is committed to moving the field of pediatric interventional cardiology forward through participation in multicenter trials and research, so patients receive the most innovative and up-to-date care.
