Philosophy of Care

Medicine in general, but more so in the field of cardiology, our knowledge and technology are expanding rapidly. As a sub-subspecialist I can provide the latest and the most comprehensive treatment and technology to rhythm disorder patients. However, heart rhythm disorder is not always strictly due to pure derangement of an electrical conduction system of the heart; it is often intertwined with patient's other physical and emotional aspects. This is not forgotten, I take more comprehensive approach with each heart rhythm patient.
