After a lifetime of enduring atrial fibrillation ... the HIGHLY symptomatic variety ... Dr. Sydney performed an ablation. I'd had an attempt at one done over 30 years ago. To say that process was medieval is an understatement. Flash forward to last year {2020), and what a difference. The entire team was great to work with and Dr. Sydney took the time to explain everything. And follow-up and accessibility after the procedure was (and is) second to none. If you're still enduring symptomatic AFib, make a choice now to fix it. It's a life-changer and I HIGHLY recommend Darren Sidney!

From check-in to check-out, I was treated with wonderful courtesy and care. Having moved to Charleston SC from the Nashville TN. area, the staff as well as the doctor made me feel welcomed and completely gained my trust as a new patient for my heart care. I will readily recommend the clinic to my friends or associates, if given the opportunity.
