    I am grateful to Dr. & Ms. McElderry for patiently answering my many questions. Dr. McElderry calmly and dispassionately explained the options available to me and then carefully answered the questions that allowed me to make an informed decision. I now have NO reservations regarding my decision to have an ablation and look forward to having it sooner rather than later. My wife, daughter, and I are all confident that I am in good hands.

    Access remains the challenge for UAB medicine- once through the gates the system is wondrous. Long ER waits and protracted waits for Clinic appointments undermine the excellence. Cardiology was exemplary of how good the system can be.

    To be honest it's because when I had my ablation, the Dr did not do what he said. He said he had a good idea what the trigger was and if not he would just back out, but instead he cut another nerve in my heart and now I have rhythm issues. On checkups like yesterday he is only interested in rhythm and palpitation and for other symptoms just says see my normal cardiologist. Seems like he doesn't have a couple of minutes to listen. His staff seems more concerned than him.
