Sandeep Kumar Jain. He didn't do the laser job on me, he simply froze the bad electrical signal because it is more penetrating.

Out-patient

He laid out a game plan for me.

1. freeze the bad signal - it worked, stopped at plan 1.
2. burn out the bad signal
3. New prescription drug is on the market with less side effects than previous drugs.
4. pacemaker and defib implants.

I live in rural Pa. and the hospital there has a doctor come in 1 day a week to do ablations, I said, no thank you. I went to Pittsburgh, The doctor I went to has a 75% success rate, maybe better than that now after 6 years.
