Dr. Kosar and our family go back years. His specialty requires years of training (your heart's electricity) and he closely listens, advises and has an amazing bag of treatments! Needless to say, he's saved my life! Can't say much more - we are very fortunate to have Dr. Kosar in our community!
Dr. Kosar was very nice and he took his time explaining to me my different test I had taken. Made me feel very comfortable.
Visit was as expected… friendly & educational, by professional staff with a great bed side manner. To date, every appointment I’ve had with Dr. Kosar & his staff has been exceptional - and, I wouldn’t expect anything less.
He is gentle and very kind!
Margaret, the PA who did the online analysis was friendly, efficient, and thorough. Took her time with me. Dr Kosar was friendly and upbeat, reviewed everything with me and gave me confidence that everything was reviewed and considered.
It is always a joy to see Dr Kosar. Staff is always very professional and so is Dr. Kosar.

very patient and caring provider, listens to your concerns and very pleasant . highly recommend.
Dr. Kosar took the time to listen to all of my concerns (regarding pacemaker surgery) and answer my questions. I did not feel rushed during my examination. After my follow-up appointment, I was reassured I was in the right path towards recovery. I feel I am in good hands with with Dr. Kosar.
From check-in to leaving the office, everything went as smooth as silk. Extremely coordinated and well trained, everyone was friendly and competent. Especially Dr. Kosar, the kindest most knowledgeable doctor ever!
Dr. Kosar is one of the few doctors that actually are available for his patients. I consider him one of the best doctors if not the best I have.
He was pleasant and attentive. And ordered some more test for me to have.
Dr. Erol Kosar performed a cryo-ablation procedure on April 9th, 2024. It has been over two weeks since the procedure and my heart has been in normal sinus rhythm since the procedure, with no detection of atrial fibrillation (Afib). My story leading up to the cryo-ablation procedure: I’ve been using the Apple Watch 8 to detect Afib since I was diagnosed with Paroxysmal Afib on April 25, 2023. In May, 2023, I tried Metoprolol to reduce my heart rate but I would still get Afib. Then I tried Amiodarone to alter my heart rhythm but my heart reacted to that drug which put me in V-Tach and ended up in emergency. Then I began reading and researching of how to reduce Afib. I changed my lifestyle dramatically. The first thing I did was begin a healthy diet, including low calorie and low sodium and lean meats, magnesium, Chinese herbs to treat Afib, and cut out all caffeine or alcohol. I increased my daily exercise of cardio and weight lifting. I even tried acupuncture, massage and yoga and surrounded myself within a stress free environment and calming music, and made sure I got plenty of sleep. I lost 10 pounds and felt great but I would still get episodes of Afib at least 2% to 10% of the time. But then after six months, the amount of time I was in Afib increased from 2% to 50% gradually over the next 6 months. That was when I decided to have a Cryo-ablation as a last resort attempt. Dr. Kosar told me there was an 80% chance the ablation procedure would stop the Afib. Even though this ablation procedure is minimally invasive, there are always risks. But Dr. Kosar said there is nothing to worry about. I will admit I was deathly afraid of that or any heart procedure, but I also knew I had one of the best electrocardiologists with plenty of credentials, training and years of experience, and he was also highly recommended by other doctors and his patients. So I decided to go for it, and I am so glad I did. Thank you so much Dr. Kosar. I highly recommend Dr. Kosar for electro cardio procedures.
Punctual, caring and open to give advice
