Dr. Nilsson's diagnosis and surgical treatment for atrial fibrillation was a life changing experience for me. His compassion and genuine concern are evident as he takes the time to listen and identify with his patients. He is very approachable yet professional. I highly recommend him! The support staff are highly efficient and caring as well.
