Meet James Jaggers, MD
I utilize a multidisciplinary approach to determine the least invasive procedure to solve complex conditions, while ensuring the best possible outcomes."When you're doing heart surgery on a baby, you're really taking care of the whole family. You're not just taking care of that one child."
- Dr. James Jaggers
