If you think cardiologists are bad, try seeing a dermatologist. I tried to get into see a dermatology NP and the next available appointment was over 9 months out.

Any interventional cardiologist who's been practicing for more than a year or two will be fine. It's not the mix of art and science that afib ablations are.

Tell him that's now how it works. There is no cleaning. They look for blocked arteries and insert a stent to prop them open. It's just a stopgap measure and doesn't stop plaque from building up in his arteries. In addition to improving his diet he probably needs to be on a statin.
