It took 8 months from the time of the heart oblation to no afib. After 4 months and only improvement was a generally slower heart rate, but still afib. Dr. Then did an external heart shock. On the table it was no afib but only forShow more a couple days. Back to afib. Was beginning to think I needed another oblation. I was scheduled for a follow up 3 months after shock treatment. Got delayed for abt. A month due to me. Still had afib. About 2 weeks before final follow up heart started to go off and on regular. Then some afib. When I went to see Dr I was regular with slightly elevated heart rate but no adib. Now a couple more weeks, no afib. Heart rate about 60. Stamina excellent but have more work to do to rebuild my strength. Able to play golf without any huffing and puffing. Very happy. I was on the edge of discouraged when heart kicked in and afib is still gone.

Fantastic Doctor—
On time. Pleasant technician.

Got an extra visit special visit. I got to see Dr Makkar on Valentine's Day ❤️
Fine!
Office was full. I had to leave before my appointment because of another appointment. This is the first time this happened.
Excellent doctor but seems to be in more of a rush to get out of the room and move on to the next patient. Never used to be this way.
Dr Makkar is a wonderful doctor.
Good doctor and stuff!!
He’s ok, on time appts and really quick with everything , but could improve his bed side manners!
Very thorough
I was asked by the assistant if I remember the height and weight of my last doctors appointment. He should have taken it himself. The doctor asked me when I took a stress test. That information is in my medical records. These two conversations seemed a little strange to me. I was set up for another stress test because of the medicine I am taking. So everything is all right with the ongoing process of checking me out
It’s always good to go to the appointment and feel good with a caring individual
What a nice man!
They were friendly, wonderful, professional, and everyone went way way above and beyond to help resolve my needs. I definitely would recommend them to anyone looking for someone who cares more about them than just money. They truly care about the individual and am so appreciative of everyone there. Live you guys
Thoughtful and caring staff. Professional, knowledgeable and experienced leaders/physicians.
Dr. Makkar and his staff are the best. His knowledge has made it possible to live with a.fib without the use of blood thiners. And, to be aware of PVC's if they return. Alex B
If you have Afib....this is your go to guy ! Fantastic care. Get off of those nasty blood thinners. An Amulet specialist. Will help with any type of heart issue you have. Very smart doctor who knows what he is doing.
Dr. Makkar explains everything about your condition very clearly and makes sure you understand your treatment options. I have complete trust in him.
I thank God every day that Dr Makkar is my Doctor, l wouldn’t be here
