I treat the entire range of heart rhythm disorders (arrhythmias), from bradycardias to tachycardias, including supraventricular tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, premature ventricular complexes and ventricular tachycardia. My goal is to treat heart rhythm disorders using the most advanced techniques and technologies to minimize the impact of arrhythmias on people's health and wellness. My practice includes ablation of arrhythmias (radiofrequency ablation, pulse-field ablation and stereotaxis robotic ablation), implantation of cardiac devices (implantable loop recorders, pacemakers with physiologic pacing, leadless pacemakers, defibrillators, and advanced resynchronization therapy for heart failure), and left atrial appendage occlusion procedures, including WATCHMAN and Amulet.

Overall Ratings

out of 5 ; Ratings;

The Patient Satisfaction Rating is an average of all responses to the care provider related question shown above from our internal platform, PMX Feedback. Responses are measured on a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 being the best score. Scores reflect either the most recent 12 months of surveys or the most recent 30 surveys overall. Data is updated monthly and comments remain on the profile for 12 months.

Comments are submitted by patients and reflect their views and opinions. The comments are not endorsed by and do not necessarily reflect the views of Penn Medicine.

Patients that are treated in outpatient or hospital environments may receive different surveys.
