I had a very bad and dangerous case of Afib. It took two ablations to find all of the bad nerve sites, but he did it! (More than one ablation is common about 40% of the time.) No Afib for 2 1/2 years and perfectly normal nuclear stress tests and EKGs. Lucky a friend told me about Dr. Ong! It could have ended much differently.

Dr James Ong IS the Doctor you want to go to if you have A Fib! Hands down the BEST! He took an extra 2 hours to make sure he hit every area of my heart that was causing issues with Rhythm, I have complete confidence in Dr Ong and his team at West Hills Hospital was truly amazing! I feel like I have a second chance at life after having a 6 hour ablation. Dr Ong takes the time to explain and answers your questions in a manner that is comforting and concise. I highly recommend Dr Ong. CA IN WH
