Meet Dr. Corey Mandel
Dr. Corey Mandel, one of Cook Children's board-certified pediatric cardiologists, came to us from New York in 2003. He was born in Brooklyn and grew up on the South Shore of Long Island but he insists, "I got here as soon as I could. Even though I miss the beach, there are so many amazing things about being in Fort Worth. It's a great place to raise kids."
While in medical school, he realized that he wanted to dedicate his life to caring for children. "I genuinely enjoy being around kids. I take my work very seriously but that doesn't mean you can't also laugh a little (it is the best medicine, right?). They don't chose to be in the doctor's office so it's up to us to make the experience as pleasant as possible. I love to see the spark in their eyes, the excitement of every new adventure and their joy for life. When I see a child suffering, it hurts me deep inside. I see our future in them, I want to provide for them."
Although he cherished his work in general Pediatrics, the more time he spent learning about pediatric cardiology, the more he realized how much it interested him. It turns out, it was his destiny, "As a kid, I did several grade school projects relating to the heart. I didn't even remember them, I found them decades later in the back of a closet at my parent's house."
Dr. Mandel views the doctor-patient relationship as a very important point of emphasis. "Some things are pretty straightforward and can be addressed quickly but overall, I try to get as much information as possible in the beginning. If I don't know what the issues are than I can't help. I may ask lots of questions at the outset and I try to go over things completely and as clearly as possible but cardiology can be complicated and not everything has a simple explanation. At the same time, I'm happy for them to ask me many questions as well," says Dr. Mandel. "While that sometimes makes for a long visit (sorry if you have to wait a little bit but everyone gets a turn), it's much, much better for families to feel they understand what’s going on than to have them walk away worried or confused. I've found that family plays an important role in our area of medicine. Having them informed helps keep everyone involved on the path to wellness."?
In addition to your family, Dr. Mandel is quite dedicated to his own wife and two children. They try to maintain an active and healthy lifestyle, keeping involved in sports and outdoor activities when possible. Lately, he has tried to focus on skiing and scuba diving but finds that challenging in the middle of Texas. ?
As a pediatric specialist, there are so many opportunities to impact the life of a child at any given time and you never know which will be the defining moment. That is my motivation day in and day out. – Dr. Corey Mandel
