Dr Atwater has profound knowledge in electrophysiology. I have also found him compassionate and accessible. He successfully? did a very difficult ablation procedure on me and I was very impressed with the contingency planning he did in case the procedure did not go smoothly. I feel fortunate to have him as my physician.
