Meet the Doctor

My name is Tankut Onal. I'm a Pediatric Cardiologist. I am originally from Turkey. And I was born in a beautiful town called Antalya on the Mediterranean Coast. I joined Lee Health in beginning of 2022. And the reason I joined is because I believe kids deserved the highest quality of care and goes on our children's hospital is being the only Children's Hospital in Southwest Florida. I believe this is the institution they receive that high quality of care and I wanted to be a part of it. Well, I always wanted to be a cardiologist. It was back in medical school. When I did my first pediatric rotation. I saw babies born with congenital heart disease and you know, that's none of their fault and they were born with it. And I was very interested in treating those babies who were born with heart disease and that's part of my interest and that's how it started. I am a beach person. I love spending time on the beach with my kids. I love going fishing with my son and I love reading also like reading nonfiction.

Dr. Onal is a fantastic cardiologist. I especially appreciate his willingness to explain exactly what the findings mean, and why certain “abnormal” findings are actually normal, so I am equipped to address those concerns with other practitioners in the future.
