FemaleAbout Minghua Hao
I specialize in pediatric cardiology. I became a healthcare provider because my aunt was a physician and she had a significant influence on me when I was a little girl. I decided to be a physician when I was still in elementary school and never changed my life goal. I listen to my patients carefully, I and am passionate and patient. Extensive training in different cultures and countries has made me more culture aware, as well.
My little something extra
I love travelling, hiking, and experiencing different cultures and cuisines. I’ve visited the majority of US National Parks and been to different parts of world like South America, Asia, Europe, and Africa. I am also interested in nutrition, a balanced diet and exercise and since I have orthostatic hypotension myself, I'd like to teach teenagers who have similar problems, how to live with orthostatic hypotension. I also have an adorable Akita Inu fur baby at home, who is my exercise buddy!

I am not happy with the doctor that we saw. She did not have answers for my questions. The information she gave me sounded like she repeated it straight from a book. I would not take my child to her again.
