Dr. Hranitzky

Has anyone had any experience with Dr. Hranitzky in Raleigh, NC?

I need an ablation soon, as I've been paroxysmal for almost 3 years, but progressing very fast now, almost persistent.

I’m in Wake Forest, NC, but I haven’t heard the name. The volume center here is Duke. That’s where I went 5 years ago. I had a PVI done by Dr. Kevin Thomas. I’d guess by this point in time he’s had well over 1,000 ablations under his belt but I’d have to ask to be sure.

So I’d look around given the fact that this is kind of a local hotspot for medical specialists. Unfortunately, it’s also becoming a COVID-19 hotspot (especially Durham where Duke is) so that needs to factor in. That being said, I’d opt for Duke and skip UNC or WakeMed. UNC isn’t up to snuff (my username notwithstanding) and WakeMed is the evil galactic empire of medicine. Those are my opinions, for the record.

Wolfpack, normally I'd agree with you regarding high-volume Duke vs. Wake, but Dr. Hranitzky previously worked at Texas Cardiac Arrhythmia Institute and is still listed as one of their EPs, so that right there is a major point in his favor. I don't think you get hired by Natale if you don't have the chops.

For sure. I just didn’t know the name. News to me. Thanks!

Thanks guys! Covid does complicate matters. It's still on the rise in Wake County.

If you go on bing.com, in small white print, you can check any county.

Lani, I lived in Cary in the 1980s.

Yeah, really, Carey from Cary.
