Bio

Dr. Sterling-Lovy enjoys practicing the art of pediatric cardiology and caring for patients and families of children with congenital heart disease – from fetal life through adulthood. Throughout her career she has led and participated in numerous community outreach programs, especially in underserved communities and areas most impacted by health care disparities.

Dr. Sterling-Lovy is a member of the American College of Cardiology (ACC), American Heart Association (AHA), American Society of Echocardiography (ASE), Society of Pediatric Echocardiography (SOPE), Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Imaging (SCMR), Society for Cardiovascular Computed Tomography (SCCT) and American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).

When she's not caring for kids, she enjoys being active outdoors, cycling, playing tennis and volleyball, cheering for her favorite sports teams, travelling and spending quality time with her friends and family.
