From a young age, I knew I wanted to become a pediatrician. I was led to cardiology during my pediatrics residency at Babies Hospital—now NewYork-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital—where I witnessed the deep bond that pediatric cardiologists develop with their patients who have congenital heart disease. In my own practice, it has been a privilege to have such close relationships with my patients and their families. It is a joy to watch as children with even the most complex heart problems develop into thriving young adults, thanks to continuous innovations in cardiac surgery, interventional catheterization, and arrhythmia management. In addition to patients with congenital heart disease, I see children and teenagers with symptoms such as fainting, chest pain, and heart murmurs, as well as children with other anomalies that may be associated with heart problems. Their issues may differ from those of my more complex cardiac patients, but families' concerns about their children's health are the same no matter what the problem is, and they receive the same compassionate care and consideration. My office on West 86th Street is one of Columbia's pediatric subspecialty practices. I see patients there four days a week with appointments available early morning to late afternoon. It is a full-service office including ECG and echocardiogram machines. I also see patients at Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital once a week, and I spend several weeks a year caring for patients in the neonatal cardiac intensive care unit (NCICU). I also teach pediatric cardiology fellows and other trainees, both on hospital rounds and in my role as director of the pediatric cardiology fellows clinic. I very much enjoy being a faculty mentor for Columbia medical students as well. Most recently, I have been involved in both research and care of children who develop MIS-C (multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children) related to a COVID-19 infection.

Dominique Bailey, MD

As a pediatric gastroenterologist, I am dedicated to improving the lives of children and adolescents with complex disorders of the gastrointestinal system. I have a special interest and clinical expertise in immune-mediated inflammatory diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. These diseases, which involve the multifaceted relationship between the immune system and GI tract, greatly affect children’s and families’ quality of life and impact children’s growth and development. They are also often difficult to identify and treat. As director of Columbia’s Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Diseases (EGIDs) Program, my team and I offer the highest quality care to children with EGIDs, which include eosinophilic esophagitis, eosinophilic gastritis, eosinophilic enteritis, eosinophilic colitis, and oral immunotherapy associated EGIDs. I also treat children with food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome and food protein-induced allergic proctocolitis of infancy. Through the multi-disciplinary EGIDs program, gastroenterologists, allergists, nutritionists, psychologists, pathologists, and social workers, as well as language pathologists, child life specialists, endocrinologists, and ENT specialists, work together to provide personalized care for each child. We incorporate the latest evidence-based advances, state-of-the-art procedures for diagnosis and management, and offer the potential to participate in clinical trials for treatment of these disorders. Our team believes in creating a medical home for each child within our center of excellence for patients, families, and providers. In addition to directing the EGIDs Program, I am a clinician-scientist and principal investigator studying esophageal development and eosinophilic esophagitis at Columbia University Irving Medical Center. It is my vision to further our understanding of eosinophilic esophagitis and to develop novel therapeutics using novel 3D organoid model systems and innovative murine models of pediatric eosinophilic esophagitis. I also have had the privilege of mentoring future physicians and junior scientists on their journey toward academic success. Several of my mentees have pursued degrees in medicine and philosophy, and have been recipients of prestigious awards.
