Allina Health?

Allina Health?

So the news article I linked today mentioned that Allina Health's Minneapolis Heart institute was the workplace of the doctors who first conceived the idea of the Watchman.

It doesn't look to me like they are on the list of high reputation facilities posted on this website. But the article states they still implant a lot of Watchmans, and trained two new doctors for their staff. Of course I would not be eager to sign up with one of the new doctors, but has anyone heard of the facility and its reputation before?

Can you add the link you refer to and a link to the list of high rep facilities posted here? I don't recall such a list.

Allina Health was mentioned in the Minneapolis Star Tribune article you and I both provided links for yesterday.

And I got my words tangled up on the list of providers. I was referring to the list of doctors posted by Susan that is in the top 3 topics listed under this forum.

I was under general anesthesia Monday, and that gives me an excuse for my word choice to be a little scrambled.

After further review, I was referring to the forum topic that has a heading that starts with "Does a list of the top EP's for ablations exist..." posted by tvanslooten.

Susan responded to it by copying and pasting someone else's list of top EPs to consider.

After a quick perusal, I did not see Allina Health referred to there, so I was looking for a different way to rank it.

It’s not complete because others had added their choices as well. I had opened up George’s link and copied the list of doctors. Here is the original link again:

Can't speak to ranking, but that is where I have gone for my ablations and although the location in Minneapolis is awful, as a critical care.nurse with high expectations,.I am absolutely sold on their quality of care and have absolute trust in my EP there. We also send our patients there from the hospital that I work at and have great results/care.
