After his fellowship, Dr. Ralston became a pediatric cardiologist at Dayton Children's because he knew Dayton would be a great place to raise a family. Dr. Ralston is board certified in both pediatrics and pediatric cardiology. He has a special interest in myocardial imaging and caring for children with congenital heart disease and arrhythmias.

The only thing I really have to complain about was it taking so long and not being able to have my youngest in there with us because she's breast fed and I was unable to feed her
