Ruta the nurse was great

07/12/2023

I felt terrible before this ablation, and feel fantastic afterwards. Dr. Vasaiwala and this group did an amazing job. I have been dealing with this condition for four years, which has been getting worse in that time, eventually to the point of becoming an emergency this past February. It was stopping me from doing anything in my life: from trying to heal from the profound loss of my husband of 30 years, to rebuilding my business following a few ruinous years. For the first time in an age, I am finally feeling that I can start moving forward again--and, primarily, that is because I am not living in a state of complete exhaustion all the time, or in terror of my heart stopping 24/7. Oh, and I can think again! Loyola is the best facility for cardiology and electrophysiology in Illinois, and by a wide margin in my view, and should be better recognized as such publicly. THANK YOU.
