Dr Passman clearly communicated my treatment plan / options while exhibiting compassion and great listening skills. This was a very challenging 9 months but ultimately my abnormal arrhythmia and rare condition (double fire) was successfully resolved following an ablation. I'm grateful for the exceptional care of Dr Passman and his team.
