Dr. Dabal is an awesome surgeon he fixed my baby's heart when she was less than 2 mos old. His staff is also fantastic. I wish all of the doctors at Childrens were half as professonal and good as he is and I will always be gratful for him.

Dr. Dabal performed the surgery on our grandaughter when she was seven months old. She was diagnosed with Tetralogy of Fallot. Not only did I observe his bedside manner from a grandmother's perspective, but as an RN as well. He is the most thorough, caring surgeon I have met. He explains carefully the diagnosis, treatment & prognosis. May God bless him with a long & productive practice. Thank you for "fixing Bayleigh's 'broken' heart"!

Dr. Dabal is OUTSTANDING! Our son was diagnosed with a TAPVR at one month of age and had struggled every day leading up to that point. The moment we met Dr. Dabal he was very comforting and understanding. Before the surgery, he prayed with our family and blessed our child. He is one of the finest doctors and we where truly blessed to have met him. So once again Dr. Dabal, thank you for saving our sons life.
