Dr. Zei helped me when another cardiologist ignored my AFib. A cardioversion got me out of persistent AFib and a subsequent cardiac ablation changed my life. Dr. Zei is kind, so knowledgeable and explained everything clearly and concisely. I feel truly lucky to have one of the top cardiologist in the world on my side.

Yes, I know this sounds over the top. But Dr. Zei is truly the best of the best. He was able to explain my husband's CVD in a way no one had ever been able to. His plan for dealing with it has been incredibly helpful and logical. He is very careful and thorough, ordering tests just to be sure the planned treatment will work. As if you could ask for anything else, he is open to alternative adjunctive therapies.

Dr Zei works with the person he doesn't just treat the patient. He coordinates a large and very silled group at Stanford and we couldn't be more please. Amiee Lee NP is his office has been wonderfull, Angela Tsiperfal NP, Dr.Al-Ahmad , the staff in CIC and Stepdown have all been wonderfull

Besides being among the top specialists in the world for cardiac arhythmias, Dr. Zei is a very kind, down to earth, superior interpersonal skilled individual. Due to his reknown, it takes about a month to get an appointment with him, and if surgery is warranted another month plus to get on his surgery schedule but it is worth the wait. He resolved an arthymia issue that was very elusive but causing a major downgrade in the quality of my day to day life. His staff (especially his nurse Aimee) is equally excellent in terms of their respsonsiveness and caring.
