Review for Dr. Barg
It was a complicated ablation but Dr. Kneller took my son's case and helped his AFIB. He is a heart rhythm specialist and one of the best in Phoenix.

Review for Dr. Kneller
I have never had a specialist spend that much time or give such understandable explanation of my health issue. He the time to explain all aspects of my test results and the good and bad of all my choices.
