Dr. Scholl is a passionate professional with a keen focus on program growth and development. It’s this dedication, coupled with her experience, that aligns seamlessly with our vision for the future of our program. Dr. Scholl will be working closely with Dr. Salazar’s Team, with the shared goal of enhancing our perioperative services for congenital heart disease patients.
