Hi Jean-
I am scheduled for an ablation with both Dr. Natale and Dr. Schwiegert on 9-9 How lucky could I get to get both these amazing doc in the same EP lab just for me, anyways didn't mean to go on there, but I am very,VERY excited.
Dr. Natale is wonderful. I had been told there wasn't a whole lot that could be done where I live my doc leaves the "super" ablations to CC, I was told they are quite long and since this will be my 5th EPS and 4th with ablation, that I am just very complicated. Plus,I just had open heart this past Oct. But, Dr. Natale is determined he can help me. He stated it may take 2 differeent procedures but thinks he can get this.
So, please try to get in to see him. I was told initially when I called for an appointment I could not get in til around the 30th or 31st of Oct.-that was not acceptable so I spoke to the secretary whom gave me an Aug. date, so I proceeded with my story and frustration so she told me the nurse, Michelle, would call me back Mon. and see what she could do, so tuesday came along and no call, so I called and told her everything and she & Dr. Natale saw me the next day. So, don't give up on Dr. Natale, he is absolutely brillant!
Feel free to email anytime with any questions about Dr.Natale.
Good Luck!!!
