Patient Reviews
Oct 08, 2022
A week ago, Dr. Heist and his electro-cardiology surgery team performed a Lead-less Pacemaker procedure on me because I have persistent atrial fib. I've heard Dr. Heist is one of the very best in the country and I have no doubts this is true in terms of skill, expertise, communication, efficiency, caring and I could go on and on. The MGH hospital team was especially vigilant with sterile procedures and avoiding infections--not only in the operating room -- but in aftercare as well. It's only been a week post-procedure but I'm already much improved and seem to be getting better each day. I highly recommend Dr. Heist! --Jan Whitford 07 Oct. 2022 Read Less
