Sarah, best of luck to you with your back surgery. We all will be thinking about you and awaiting good news concerning its success.
Dr Hammer is very good. He is the doctor I saw in September for my consultation at CC. He spent far more time talking to me about my options than I ever imagined a doctor would. I really appreciated it! Be prepared for information overload as he really gives you a lot of it. My impression is that he really likes the Maze as a cure for afib more than ablation (I'm reading between the lines here). The Maze has a higher success rate. However, he did set me up with Dr Natale for an consultation on ablations which worked out well for me in the end.
Keep in touch and if there is anything I can do for you, give me a call.
