Dr. Margot Eva Vloka, MD

After repeatedly being told my a-fib and its symptoms were nothing to worry about (because my other risks of stroke were low), and prescribed meds that did not control it, Dr. Vloka took my symptoms seriously and clearly explained how and why a-fib was causing my fatigue and dizziness and why prescribed meds weren't working. Her advice was candid and her treatment recommendation and catheter ablation procedure has kept me a-fib symptom free for four years. She may not tell you what you want to hear but she'll probably tell you what you need to hear to stay healthy.

Dr. Vloka seems to have no real concern for her patients. It appears she is only interested in a pay check.

I am a 3 time cardiac arrest survivor. Had hypothermia treatment and a medically induced coma performed on me. Caught pneumonia while I was in the E.R. and had an ablation done. Dr Vloka was there through it all. Yes, she is a little rough around the edges, but she knows what she is doing. I was diagnosed with Wolff Parkinson White syndrome by Dr. Vloka. Less than a month after my last day in the hospital, I am basically back to normal. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a cardiologist or electrophys biologist. Like I said, she is a little rough around the edges. That's partially due to the fact that it's hard to understand her (she's from Poland) but her nurse practitioner is there as a middle man for communication purposes. DEFINITELY would recommend her.

My 91-year-old father was seen in the hospital last month by Dr. Vloka. She and her nurse were brusque, condescending, demanding, and uncooperative. When we said we had questions about the risks of installing a pacemaker in a 91-year-old patient with a long history of infections, her nurse said, "What could you possibly have questions about? Dr. Vloka explained the procedure to you already. (which she did not) You NEED TO KNOW that your father is not the only patient in this hospital". When another cardiologist recommended no pacemaker be implanted, she lost her cool, so we "fired" her. Six weeks later, Dad is now doing fine without what might have been this invasive, unnecessary procedure.

Rude, abrupt, doesn' listen. If you don't agree completely with her, she won't work with you. It's her way or no way.
