Dr. Edward K Rhee, MD

My daughter had fainted a couple of times and had some palpitations, so we visited Dr. Rhee. His first recommendation was to put a pacemaker in, which would have been a permanent solution. When we got a second opinion and took some further tests from a different doctor that had previously been affiliated with PCH, but was not anymore, he said that her condition wasn't as serious as we had been led to believe by Dr. Rhee, and that she would likely grow out of it. Please make sure that you always get a second opinion before agreeing to any surgery, especially for your kids.

Intelligent and completely incapable of normal human interaction. Probably does a good job when the patient is asleep, but I'd take an average cardiologist who can actually communicate any day.

Rhee seems to think that he knows everything and patient doesn't have to know anything. Rhee talks to himself in terms nobody else can understand and won't explain things in simpler terms. One person said Rhee basically 'saved' her son and I'm glad for them but that's an exception. Rhee once read report from pacemaker, walked in and said, 'Come back and see me in 6 months'. What about ' So how have you been feeling? Anything you want to talk about?' Another cardiologist took time to listen and tried to understand anything that was mentioned. Rhee has himself on a pedestal and thinks he knows it all and I would advise you avoid him. Notice how low his ratings are- little more than 3. Get another doctor

Thank you Dr Rhee for your gift of Wisdom! After my son being diagnosed with WPW you were determined to make him a kid again!!! You are absolutely wonderful and gifted in what you do!! We were blessed! Thank you!

Dr Rhee has been my daughter's cardiologist since birth. He has seen her through every step, from breaking the news she was in heart failure at 6 days old to , surgery, and all her follow ups. He has put my worries at bay with his manner and concern. He even saw my son to make sure he didn't have a heart condition, during a routine athletic physical.

Met with Dr. Rhee to discuss an issue we are experiencing with our daughter and we found him to be extremely condescending, dismissive, and unhelpful. I found his attitude surprising considering most of the other doctors we have encountered at Phoenix Children's Hospital have been extremely caring. He minimized our issue by smirking and treated us as though we were wasting his time. When asked whether or not a particular treatment would be beneficial he responded, "that's up to you to decide." Our appoint wound up being a complete waste of time.
