Guest guest Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 , You're in ton? One of our former Emory residents is the chief of plastics there, I think. Duke Hagerty. Great guy. Anyway, I worked at Crawford Long as part of the Emory Clinic Section of Plastic Surgery for 15 years. I'm working with a private group of docs that are still affiliated with Emory. As far as Dr. Leon, he just happened to be the chief EP at Emory and works at the Crawford Long hospital. I've heard, through this forum, that he is ranked in the top 10-15 EP's in the country. And he just happens to be the kind of doc that you can talk to and garners a great deal of confidence from everybody that works with him, from doctors to nurses. His fellow said they've done over 300 ablations. And hey claim a success rate of 60-80%, depending on the afib type. No major complications. If you're going outside your system, it wouldn't hurt to visit Atlanta. Though I can imagine what your insurance company is going to say. I was lucky to have this fellow right in my referral network. What do your cardiologists say? Good luck. Lester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
