About the Provider
He has been practicing cardiology and cardiac electrophysiology at Emory Saint Joseph’s Hospital since 2008. He brought innovative techniques in catheter ablation for heart arrhythmias including epicardial access, mechanical support assisted ablation, and zero fluoroscopy procedures to the hospital’s electrophysiology service. He has a particular interest in complex ablations for atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia.
Dr. Patel performs all manner of device implantation including pacemakers, implantable cardioverter defibrillators, and cardiac resynchronization devices. He has been involved in newer device implantation studies including leadless pacemakers and subcutaneous defibrillators. He also performs mechanical and laser lead extraction. In addition, he has been an active implanter of left atrial appendage occlusion devices including the Watchman and Lariat as an alternative to blood thinners for patients with atrial fibrillation.
Dr. Patel is a third-generation physician. His grandfather was one of the first trained doctors in his village in India. He grew up as the son of two physicians and his mother is still practicing in New York City. He was able to witness first hand at an early age how much medicine could help people. He has kept that passion through his training and now in his practice. As an assistant professor in the school of medicine, he still loves imparting that passion by being involved in the training of cardiology and cardiology electrophysiology fellows at Emory University School of Medicine. He is actively involved as the investigator in a number of pivotal clinical research trials in his field and has also served as faculty training other physicians around the country.
Dr. Patel is married and lives in Buckhead with his wife and two children. In his free time, he is an avid tennis player, skier, and concert goer. He also loves to travel with his family and really enjoys trying out some of the new restaurants around Atlanta.

Well, Dr Patel was not bad but I just was not that thrilled. He read my chart. Told me most people that experience the varying pulse rates like I have normally get ablation. I said "ok". There was no other options provided. I guess I really wanted to hear what happens if I don't get the procedure done vs what will happen if I get it don't. He simply ask did I want to have it. Dr Patel provided me with the recovery time and 95% of the people with my same issue get the procedure don't. He did explain the process to me. I felt like I was just another peg on the board when it comes to having this procedure done. And I am just not sure I even want to have it done. I do have an appointment with Dr Schultz coming up and he has been extremely informative when I see him. During my visit with him, I am going to asking him more about it.
