| Theodore Millette II, M.D. |
Millette, a pediatric cardiologist, joins a team of medical specialists who focus on diagnosing, treating and managing heart conditions in children at USA Health Pediatrics. He will provide comprehensive care for infants, children, and adolescents with a wide range of heart issues, including congenital heart defects and infections of the heart.
“While I love pediatrics and find pediatric cardiology to be fascinating and very personally rewarding, I think the most important part of what I do is building trust and relationships with the children and the families I serve,” Millette said. “Knowing what to do clinically is only part of the task doctors are entrusted with. The best care is provided only through the combination of medical knowledge, compassion for the concerns of the patient and their family, honest communication, and time spent educating and empowering them to best care for themselves or their loved one.”
Milette earned his medical degree from the University of Mississippi School of Medicine in Jackson, Mississippi. After a pediatrics residency at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, he moved to Charlottesville, Virginia, for a pediatric cardiology fellowship at the University of Virginia.
During those three years, he discovered a passion for fetal cardiology, cardiac CT and MRI, and exercise cardiology. Those interests led to an additional year of fellowship training at the University of Virginia and Boston Children’s Hospital.
As part of an academic health system, Millette will help train the next general of healthcare providers as an assistant professor of pediatrics in the Whiddon College of Medicine.
“I look forward to working with the outstanding group of physicians to serve the children of southern Alabama and to contribute to the education of USA Health’s pediatric residents and the young doctors of the Whiddon College of Medicine.”
Millette is accepting new patients at the Strada Patient Care Center. To make an appointment, call 251-410-5437.
