About
Dr. Vidavalur has trained abroad and in the United States. He comes to Ithaca from Cumberland, Maryland, where he was an attending neonatologist for five years. “I was drawn here by the beauty of the area, the diversity, and the school system,” says Vidavalur. “It has been a wonderful experience working with the staff in the NICU and with the medical center’s management team, and I’ve had good support from the local pediatricians.”
Vidavalur has special interest and expertise in treating drug-addicted babies, which is a growing problem in this country. “I am also interested in global health, specifically neonatology in developing countries,” he says. He is hoping to join with local university students who are working to create low-cost technologies that could improve mortality rates among newborns in the developing world.

what our patients are saying
“I have to say the last couple visits that I’ve had here have been wonderful. About a month ago I had an EGD and the staff were amazing! Explained everything in detail and made me feel at ease. I was very nervous and the nurse I had was very comforting. Tonight we had to take my son to the emergency room and they were awesome with him! We got right in. “
“I have been a Hemo dialysis patient for almost Five years. Prior to dialysis and during dialysis I have had several trips to the ER, due to other health issues & was admitted to CMC more than a few times. Each and every time I’ve been there, whether in patient or out, I have been treated with respect, professionalism, and efficiency. I give this hospital 2 thumbs up!! Thank you CMC for taking care of me all these years!!”
“The staff and accommodations at Cayuga Birthplace are amazing!!! This is what it I imagine it would feel like to be a celebrity getting VIP treatment. I wish I could stay longer – even the food options are 5 Star! The amenities are great. Everything is clean and designed beautifully. Not a single complaint, only praises!”
“I have had many occasions visiting CMC for myself and family. We have never had a bad experience there at all. Last October I had surgery and the nurses were amazing especially my night nurse. Thank you to all CMC staff for doing what you do every day with a smile.”
