Clinical, Teaching & Research Interests*:

Alistair Phillips, MD, is an attending surgeon at The Heart Center at Nationwide Children’s Hospital and an Assistant Professor of Surgery at The Ohio State University College of Medicine. Dr. Phillips received his undergraduate degree in biomedical engineering from The Johns Hopkins University and a medical degree from The College of Physicians & Surgeons of Columbia University. After completing general and cardiothoracic surgery as well as two years of research generally focused on cardiac physiology at New York Presbyterian – Cornell Medical Center, he went onto New York Presbyterian – Columbia Medical Center were he completed fellowships in pacemakers/defibrillators and pediatric cardiac surgery. He is board certified in both surgery and thoracic surgery. His clinical interests are in congenital heart disease including adult congenital heart disease, heart and lung transplantation, electrophysiology and congenital thoracic disorders. Also, he is interested in developing novel approaches to treating congenital heart disease mainly through a Hybrid approach. Dr. Phillips is actively involved in research with particular interests in inflammation and post-operative arrhythmias, understanding right ventricular morphology and the relationship of the cardiopulmonary systems. His research also includes testing and developing new devices to use in a Hybrid approach to the treatment of congenital heart disease.
