Patient
My 84+ year old mother has been treated by Dr. Burke for afib over the last four years. A combination of pace maker coupled with Sotolol helped make her treatment manageable. In March of 2019, my mom's condition worsened considerably, becoming chronic, with drugs no longer effective. We tried advanced medicinal treatments with Metoprolol, Tikosyn and Ameodorone - all ineffective. That left us with two choices: mom live with chronic afib and depleted health (and likely less longevity) or catheter ablation, heart procedure. Mom valued quality of life and opted for the riskier (i.e., for her age) catheter ablation procedure. We did a lot of research before choosing Dr. Burke to treat my mom's afib over the years and boy did that pay off! Some doctors would not consider performing the catheter ablation procedure on a women nearing 85 years old. Dr. Burke was willing and based on testimonials from other doctors, hospital staff, patients - we went with Dr. Burke and we are so lucky we did. Mom seems to have rediscovered the fountain of youth, energy levels, skin color, you name if - she is so much healthier since her procedure and recovery. Kudos to Dr. Burke - and his wonderful staff, especially Carrie, Jenny and Patrick. The folks behind the scenes supporting Dr. Burke are skilled professional, very caring, attentive and wonderful to work with! Finally, I truly believe Dr. Burke is second to none in the afib treatment, medical vocation.
