The first and almost the only question you should ask about this doctor is how many afib ablations he has done in total, and currently how many he does per year. (Not other kinds of ablations.) The answer you want to hear is thousands in total, or at least many hundreds, and more than 4-5 per month. The same criteria apply to the center where he will do the procedure. You want to be in a center where afib ablations are a daily affair.
Afib ablations are the most complex of all, and they require a mix of both technical knowledge and physical skills that can only be acquired through extensive experience. Don't be impressed by academic credentials and lofty titles. (I had three ablations botched by a guy with very impressive credentials and titles.) Also don't rely too much on other people's personal anecdotes. A good bedside manner is nice and all but your face to face time with any EP is going to be measured in minutes, so choose Darth Vader, MD who's done thousands of ablations over Marcus Welby, MD who's done a couple hundred.
I can't glean much information on this doctor, so the easiest way to learn this information is to call his office and simply ask. The staff should be able to give you at least some round numbers.
One question: Why is the procedure so far out? Even Natale could probably get you in by July.
