Dr. Guleserian stands only five feet tall, but as they say in the sports world, “She plays six-two.” (Incidentally, she once wrote on an OR marker board after an 8-hour surgery, “If you can’t operate in heels, you can’t operate.”) Dr. Guleserian is currently practicing pediatric Cardiothoracic surgery with the Heart Program at the Nicklaus Children’s Hospital in Miami, Florida.
