5.0 star star star star starI went in with a heart condition he listened patiently, I showed him some PDFs that I recorded with my Ekg appliance. Without being alarming he set me up with the electrophysiologist who proceeded to have me into surgery within 10 days or less. Dr. Eimer is a man of action without being an alarmist and always has a great sense of humor.

External Professional Relationships
Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies.
