"I strongly believe in shared decision-making with patients about their health. This is particularly important when considering interventional electrophysiology procedures where several treatment options have to be considered. Ultimately, I find this very important to deliver high-quality, patient-centered care."

This specialist (Auras Atreya, MD) was knowledgeable about the best practices in moving forward with my care. He also contacted my regular cardiologist the same day with his impressions and plan for care moving forward.

Dr. Atreya was fantastic. He listened to me with respect and was incredibly knowledgeable and kind. He shared knowledge that other EPs I have seen in the past have not seemed to have. I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to work with him.
