I can’t answer as one with recent experience, and am sure things have changed. I think they now track the ICD online or by phone.

My husband had an ICD “installed” by a cardiologist electrophysiologist, a heart doctor that specializes in the electrical system of the heart rather than the plumbing system. This was in Naples.

We chose to go to Mayo Clinic inJackson for adjustments.

When we moved to TV, he had an appt. with Dr. Hurt at FHV. They had technicians from various ICD manufacturers that come in an made adjustments. Dr. Hurt became my husband’s physician . After time, we went back to Mayo and they agreed with the treatment, including meds, that he had been given from Dr. Hurt. They made no changes.

If I wanted to know where to start I would suggest FHV, partly because that is the only place I been.

Also, living so close to Mayo Clinic is always an option.

Other may have suggestions.
