I’m a cardiac electrophysiologist with extensive experience in treating complex heart rhythm problems (arrhythmias). I specialize in procedures like AF ablation and VT ablation to correct irregular heartbeats. I also implant and manage cardiac devices, including pacemakers (including leadless pacemakers), implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs), and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) devices. My focus is on providing comprehensive, long-term care for my patients, from the initial implantation to ongoing adjustments and troubleshooting to ensure the best possible outcome.
