Dr. Zweibel took the time to explain my AFib to me. He went over the monitor results for the monitor my cardiologist order. He changed my mediation and explained my options going forward. This is the first time I felt a doctor really listened and was very knowledgeable.

I have been under Dr.Zweibel’s care for a number of years. I have complete trust in him to diagnose and treat my cardiac condition.

It is always satisfying to have a highly qualified doctor explain and analyze a problem. Dr. Zweidel took plenty of time to explain all the options. His choice of medication truncated my A-Fib. Thank you!
