I recently had a pulsed field ablation procedure after developing atrial fibrillation in 2024. Symptomatic atrial fibrillation was stressful and kept me from doing things I enjoy, like hiking. My ablation took place at Sequoia Hospital. Dr Gregory Engel was the Electrophysiologist that performed the ablation procedure. He provides excellent explanations as to what is going on within the heart, what he proposes to do to address the condition, and also good follow up as to what they found during the procedure. In addition, the hospital experience at Sequoia was very reassuring and I was comfortable throughout the process. If you are experiencing atrial fibrillation, I suggest scheduling a consultation with Dr. Engel to discuss solutions.

Excellent tests and consultation for anyone in PAMF needing a cardiologist.

Outstanding service by office staff, ultrasound techs , and medical staff. I can’t give enough compliments to Dr Bruce Benedick, both as a physician but also as a fellow human being.

I had atrial fibrillation problems that were not corrected in six ablations. I tried everything - had some done at Stanford, even traveled to the Cleveland Clinic (#1 Heart Hospital) with ablations only working a year or so. I asked Dr. R Hardwin Mead if he was up for a challenge and he said he was. Ten years later I feel great although I still take some medication, which is not a problem as I need it for lower blood pressure anyway. The recovery was tougher than my other ablations so be warned - but it worked.

Great team of caring and compassionate physicians and professional staff. Well connected to a broad network of physicians with wonderful referrals. Highly recommend.
