He did a extended fellowship at the Mayo Clinic, among others so I feel he must know his stuff.
My lack of confidence lies in the choice of hospitals, The Villages or Leesburg.
Thanks once again, wish me luck. Prayers always accepted too! ������

Dr Luisi at Jacksonville Baptist Medical is excellent. My husband has an ICD & pacemaker attached to the ICD.
He had VTACH & AFib. Afib is much easier to get at for ablations. We had been going to another Dr who kept doing ablations. Dr Luisi arrived & first day put in an ICD & later added a pacemaker. He was a breath of fresh air. He will give you your options & then what he thinks is best. My husband still needs a med to keep his VTACH from rising. My husband had an heart attack at 50 & lost 55% of his heart. 18 years later he had VTACH problems. Then AFib & VTach. His ekgs are very hard to read due to his 1st heart attack
After quadruple heart surgery the dr went on vacation. Dr Luisi started his first day. He saw how damaged my husband's heart was & immediately put in a ICD. A couple month's later my husband's heart began racing so he put in a pacemaker. Now the pacemaker corrects the heart rate when it goes off. It pacemaker can't fix it then the ICD shocks him. I am so glad that other doctor went on vacation.After his vacation the hospital let him go.
Baptist Medical Downtown Jacksonville is an excellent heart hospital.
Dr Luisi said it doesn't matter what medical facility. It comes down to the best doctor. He is the electro guy.
