I searched around the country and decided on Andrea Natale, MD as the best for me. I traveled a thousand miles to get to him. Ablation is more of an art than a science, and you want a doc who has an excellent record of success. In my case, Medicare footed most of the bill, and the cost was a lot less then $100,000 for medicare.

Prior, for one year, I was in AFib 24/7, nothing could get me out (meds, cardioversions - nothing). I have been totally free of any symptoms for almost 4.5 years now, and I am totally off of those horrible meds.

The docs told me to "learn to live with it - it is just a minor inconvenience." I can't write what I told them. That is no way to live, IMHO - especially if there is a solution.
