“Arrhythmias can affect every part of a person’s life. My approach focuses on supporting the whole patient—not just the rhythm we are treating,” he says. “Offering advanced therapies to patients and seeing meaningful improvements in their quality of life is one of my greatest professional accomplishments.”
