We offer a wide range of services to patients needing arrhythmia management. Five full-time EP cardiologists, Drs. Jeanne Poole, Director, Robert Rho, Peter Kudenchuk, Kristen Patton , Mohan Viswanathan, and Jordan Prutkin, along with a team of three board-certified electrophysiologists and dedicated arrhythmia nurses, provide comprehensive, personalized care around the clock for both routine and complex rhythm problems.

Our services include:

• Evaluation and potential cure of selected supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias, using state-of-the-art catheter ablation techniques, including the new Biosense Carto® system.
• Extensive experience with anti-arrhythmic medications.
• Expertise in pacemaker implantation and management by electrophysiologists who are Testomar-NASPE examination-certified in cardiac pacing and defibrillation.
• Expertise in lead extraction, including laser-assisted extraction, that simplifies and shortens procedure times for patients with infections from pacemakers or defibrillators.
