About Dr. Soliman

I am a pediatric cardiac intensivist at Children’s Hospital New Orleans, where I have been practicing since 2018. I earned my medical degree at Cairo University Medical School in Egypt—the city that never sleeps—and completed a pediatric residency there before coming to the U.S. to complete a second pediatric residency at Children’s Hospital of Michigan.

I went on to complete a fellowship in pediatric cardiology at Benioff Children’s Hospital, UCSF, followed by an advanced fellowship in pediatric cardiac intensive care at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital, Stanford University.

My main interests include medical education and international volunteerism. I chose pediatric cardiac intensive care because, as Patch Adams famously said, “You treat a disease, you win, you lose. You treat a person, I guarantee you, you'll win, no matter what the outcome.” Personally, I also thrive on the adrenaline that comes with caring for critically ill children.

My little something extra
A little about me outside of work: I’m a serious coffee snob—you’ll never catch me in a Starbucks! In my free time, I love traveling the world with my feisty 4-year-old partner in crime. I’m also working hard on becoming quatro lingual, embracing every challenge (and adventure) along the way.
