Testimonials

He took time to explain and answer all my questions...

I was born with an extra electrical pathway in my heart that causes frequent episodes of rapid heartbeat, which was diagnosed as supra-ventricular tachycardia. A cardiologist treated me with a medication called a beta-blocker, which reduced the frequency but did not eliminate the condition.

Recently, a severe episode forced me to go into the emergency room at Crittenton Hospital. While there, I went into an almost lethal rhythm and was fortunately shocked out of it. I thank God this occurred while I was in the hospital.

Dr. Goel was consulted to give an opinion on my condition. He diagnosed me as having been born with WPW Syndrome, which causes a rapid heartbeat due to a short-circuit in the electrical system of my heart. He offered the options of radio frequency ablation to correct the condition or continued medication with unpredictable risk of recurrence. After extensive discussion with Dr. Goel, I decided to go with the ablation procedure and was subsequently transferred to Beaumont Hospital.

Dr. Goel performed an electrophysiological study that localized the pathway to the left side of my heart. After making a pathway puncture to the wall between the upper heart chambers, he successfully cauterized (ablated) the pathway. The procedure went very smoothly and I was up the next day and discharged to go home.

I feel better than ever and have not had a single incident of palpitation for three months since my procedure.

I have totally discontinued the medication that I had been taking for 25 years for this condition. Further, I am relieved of the psychological burden of an unexpected attack and the risk of it being fatal.

I am very pleased with my experience with Dr. Goel. He took time to explain and answer all my questions, which greatly contributed to my confidence in proceeding with the ablation procedure. He is indeed an excellent and very experienced Cardiologist and Electrophysiologist.
