Common Questions About Arrhythmia Care in South Florida
From innovative ablation therapies to insurance support, learn how our expert team delivers world-class heart rhythm care while making your journey smoother at every step.
How does your intake process ensure the best care for arrhythmia patients?
Our intake process is a comprehensive clinical interview designed to gather your full cardiac and medical history. This thorough approach allows our board-certified electrophysiologists to tailor your care plan with unmatched precision, reducing risks and ensuring surgical safety. You’ll interact with the same experienced team throughout your care. While the process may take a bit longer, it’s a core part of our commitment to safety, accuracy, and long-term success for patients in Delray Beach, Boca Raton, and throughout Palm Beach County.
What advanced ablation therapies do you offer for AFib and arrhythmias?
We specialize in pulsed field ablation (FARAPULSE), cryoablation, and radiofrequency ablation. Pulsed field ablation, available first in our region, is a safer, non-thermal technology that precisely targets abnormal heart tissue while minimizing damage to surrounding structures. Our high-volume operators, including Dr. Yoel Vivas, have extensive experience performing these minimally invasive procedures, helping restore normal rhythm and reduce downtime for patients seeking the latest arrhythmia solutions in South Florida.
How does your team help with insurance and authorizations?
We handle the administrative heavy lifting for you by verifying all referrals and insurance authorizations before your visit. Our dedicated staff work directly with your insurance provider to ensure financial clarity and minimize surprises. Whether you’re a new patient or referred by your primary care doctor, our team will keep you informed at every step, allowing you to focus on your health while we manage the details. Self-pay options are also available for those without full insurance coverage.
What makes your device therapy program unique in Palm Beach County?
We are regional leaders in dual-chamber leadless pacemaker implantation and offer advanced options for stroke risk reduction. Our device specialist holds advanced certifications in electrophysiology and device management. We provide remote device monitoring and run a dedicated pacemaker and defibrillator clinic, ensuring your cardiac device is optimized for your needs. Our expertise and continuous follow-up help provide long-term peace of mind for patients throughout Delray Beach and Boca Raton.
Can I communicate with my care team outside of office visits?
Yes. We offer direct text-messaging with our office and access to the eClinicalWorks (eCW) patient portal, making it easy to get answers and stay connected with your care team between visits. You’ll also see familiar faces each time you come in, thanks to our exceptionally low staff turnover. This consistent, modern approach to communication and continuity is a hallmark of our patient-centered philosophy.
Do I need a referral to schedule an appointment?
While a referral from your primary care physician or cardiologist can help streamline your care, it is not always required. Our team is happy to help clarify your insurance requirements and walk you through the intake process. We welcome both referred and self-referred patients seeking expert arrhythmia treatment in Palm Beach County.
What conditions do you diagnose and treat at your clinics?
We specialize in the management of atrial fibrillation (AFib), supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), ventricular tachycardia (VT), bradycardia, heart failure, syncope (fainting), palpitations, and other complex arrhythmias. Our full suite of diagnostic services includes EKG, Holter and event monitoring, and implantable loop recorders. Whether you need advanced ablation, device therapy, or long-term monitoring, our board-certified electrophysiologists provide the gold standard for heart rhythm care.
