It's hard to describe how trusting I am of Dr. El-chami. He came highly recommended by my primary care doctor and also a close friend of mine who is an Emory graduate and MD in internal medicine.

Both Dr. El Chami and his Fellow (Apologies for forgetting her name) provided much-needed additional details about the "why," "how," and "what if" concerning an ablation. The words "routine procedure" were NEVER stated during the visit, which was appreciated beyond measure. I felt valued as an individual rather than a data point. To a cardiology patient, a common cold is routine, not a heart ablation.
