Driscoll is pleased to announce the opening of a new cardiac care
clinic for children in El Paso.
The new Driscoll Pediatric Cardiology Clinic brings
comprehensive and advanced care to patients and offers a full
spectrum of services for children with congenital heart disease and
other rare cardiac conditions. The clinic is located at 1810
Murchison Drive, El Paso.
Now serving patients, Driscoll Pediatric Cardiology Clinic is
led by Dr. Srinivasarao Badugu, a pediatric cardiologist with more
than two decades of experience. Dr. Badugu has worked with El Paso
Children's Hospital and Hospitals of Providence Memorial
Campus-Tenet Healthcare.
The Driscoll Heart Center offers families access to a wide range
of heart specialties and services, including pediatric cardiology,
pediatric cardiac surgery, pediatric cardiac anesthesia, pediatric
cardiac intensive care, pediatric electrophysiology, cardiac
catheterization, cardiac cross sectional imaging, fetal imaging and
other cutting-edge medical services and technologies.
According to data collected, analyzed and publicly reported by
the Society of Thoracic Surgeons, the Heart Center at Driscoll
Children’s Hospital has one of the lowest mortalities nationally
for pediatric cardiac surgery. Furthermore, survival at the
Driscoll Heart Center for the highest risk patients is one of the
best in the United States.
The announcement of the new cardiology clinic comes as Driscoll
opens Driscoll Children’s Hospital Rio Grande Valley, the region’s
first designated freestanding children’s hospital.
