Paul Grossfeld, M.D.

Bio

Dr. Paul Grossfeld is a board-certified pediatric cardiologist at Rady Children's Hospital-San Diego and a professor of pediatrics at UC San Diego School of Medicine. He treats both pediatric and adult patients with congenital heart disease.

After earning his medical degree at the University of Texas Southwestern School of Medicine in 1992, he went on to complete his pediatrics residency training in 1995 at UC San Diego, followed by a pediatric cardiology fellowship at UC San Diego in 1999.

Dr. Grossfeld has a particular interest in treating patients with rare genetic syndromes, including Jacobsen syndrome, Marfan syndrome and Williams syndrome. He serves as the chief medical advisor for the 11q Research and Resource Group as well as the European Chromosome 11 support group. He also directs a basic science research laboratory at UC San Diego dedicated to studying genetic causes of congenital heart disease, with a specific focus on hypoplastic left heart syndrome. Dr. Grossfeld has nearly 70 peer-reviewed publications.

Along with his clinical and research responsibilities, Dr. Grossfeld served for 12 years as the director of the UC San Diego/Rady Children’s Pediatric Cardiology Fellowship Program and continues to be actively engaged in teaching and mentoring fellows, residents, medical, undergraduate and high school students. He also serves as a volunteer cardiologist for the United States Men’s’ and Women’s’ Olympic Volleyball teams. Among his professional activities, he and his wife, Susan, have led annual cardiac missions to the Angkor Hospital for Children in Siem Reap, Cambodia.

When not working, Dr. Grossfeld enjoys spending time with his wife and son, traveling, working out, playing tennis and golf, and swimming in La Jolla cove.
