The doctor professional speaks for itself. He is very knowledgeable and his bedside manner was above and beyond. He listened to my concerns and his student doctor was a pleasant to assist in my care as well. He makes people like me to travel more than 200 miles to see a great doctor as him. Thanks!!!

- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 2/7/2026
It's hard to describe how trusting I am of Dr. El-chami. He came highly recommended by my primary care doctor and also a close friend of mine who is an Emory graduate and MD in internal medicine. I trusted him to perform an SVT ablation which fixed a huge problem for me. His PA (Blalock) is also excellent. I trust him with my 'heart'....literally.

Dr. El Chami is 'the bomb!' He is fabulous; is personal, professionally, and comprehensive of his cardiologist. EXCELLENT
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 1/24/2026
Both Dr. El Chami and his Fellow (Apologies for forgetting her name) provided much-needed additional details about the "why," "how," and "what if" concerning an ablation. The words "routine procedure" were NEVER stated during the visit, which was appreciated beyond measure. I felt valued as an individual rather than a data point. To a cardiology patient, a common cold is routine, not a heart ablation.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 1/22/2026

He told us to call any time for an appointment if needed and we feel comfortable with that.

As I told Dr. El Chami when he was leaving, he is one of the best things that has happened in my life. He cares about his patients, He listens to what I say, and he interacts with my desires. He is also knowledgeable and trustworthy. He has effectively given me my life back twice. Once with an ablation about 11 years ago and a second ablation in July. Both were a success.
