He absolutely went over all of my questions and took time to explain everything to me. When I asked to get off a medication, he explained what it was doing for me and what would happen if I was not on it he is extremely knowledgeable and I believe very skilled at what he does my last ablation was completely successful. I rate him a 10+.

The doctor was very careful to explain all the pros and cons of treatment and no treatment. He wanted my opinion as to how I felt on this and seem to really care. I felt that I was heard in my opinions respected.
