Advice on electrophysiologist in Florida I have paroxysmal aFib and have recently gotten a pacemaker. I believe am considering ablation. I live in Broward County, Florida and was wondering if anyone has any experience and/or recommendations regarding two electophysiologists: David Kenigsberg and Ahmed Osman. Any feedback would be appreciated. https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,200123,200123#msg-200123 Sat, 30 May 2026 12:48:34 +0000 Phorum 5.2.23 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,200123,200135#msg-200135 Re: Advice on electrophysiologist in Florida https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,200123,200135#msg-200135

I tried calling to see if I could make an appointment. I left a voicemail this morning; as of yet, no response.

I sent you a PM with Norma's contact info.]]> GeorgeN AFIBBERS FORUM Thu, 25 Sep 2025 01:20:26 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,200123,200134#msg-200134 Re: Advice on electrophysiologist in Florida https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,200123,200134#msg-200134 Carey AFIBBERS FORUM Wed, 24 Sep 2025 21:46:40 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,200123,200133#msg-200133 Re: Advice on electrophysiologist in Florida https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,200123,200133#msg-200133 gator4jc AFIBBERS FORUM Wed, 24 Sep 2025 20:18:40 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,200123,200129#msg-200129 Re: Advice on electrophysiologist in Florida https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,200123,200129#msg-200129 Daisy AFIBBERS FORUM Wed, 24 Sep 2025 02:21:26 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,200123,200128#msg-200128 Re: Advice on electrophysiologist in Florida https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,200123,200128#msg-200128 GeorgeN AFIBBERS FORUM Wed, 24 Sep 2025 00:46:35 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,200123,200127#msg-200127 Re: Advice on electrophysiologist in Florida https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,200123,200127#msg-200127 gator4jc AFIBBERS FORUM Wed, 24 Sep 2025 00:38:58 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,200123,200126#msg-200126 Re: Advice on electrophysiologist in Florida https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,200123,200126#msg-200126 everything. Sure, lofty titles, fancy schools, and other credentials are nice, but they don't help you find your way around the left atrium. They don't help you deliver energy in just the right amount, for the right amount of time, and with just the right amount of contact force. They don't help you map the sources of afib in your heart. Where an EP learns those things is in the lab doing ablations. Preferably, thousands of ablations.

With that in mind, if I was considering an ablation I would choose Dr. Andrea Natale in Austin, TX. He would absolutely be the only EP I would even consider until he retires. He is arguably the top EP in the world. As for experience, when he stopped counting a few years ago, he had done over 11,000 ablations. He and the Texas Cardiac Arrhythmia Institute where he works accept many out-of-town patients and they have their system for handling that down pat. You would start with a telehealth review with him after he has your existing records, and if you both choose to proceed, you schedule it. You'll be in Austin for about 3 days because they recommend staying in town for 2 days after the procedure.

Oh, and he also does PFA now, which I didn't see mentioned in the bios of either of those EPs you named. He's been using PFA since it was in clinical trials. You definitely want an EP who uses PFA.]]> Carey AFIBBERS FORUM Tue, 23 Sep 2025 22:51:34 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,200123,200125#msg-200125 Re: Advice on electrophysiologist in Florida https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,200123,200125#msg-200125 gator4jc AFIBBERS FORUM Tue, 23 Sep 2025 22:16:24 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,200123,200124#msg-200124 Re: Advice on electrophysiologist in Florida https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,200123,200124#msg-200124
It looks like both those EPs are with the same practice. Are you limited by your insurance to using that practice?]]> Carey AFIBBERS FORUM Tue, 23 Sep 2025 00:43:56 +0000 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,200123,200123#msg-200123 Advice on electrophysiologist in Florida https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,200123,200123#msg-200123 gator4jc AFIBBERS FORUM Mon, 22 Sep 2025 15:30:54 +0000
