Choosing the Best Electrophysiologist for You

The Cardiovascular Center of Excellence of Alta Bates Summit Medical Center has a team of top electrophysiologists who are all board certified and accredited. Our East Bay-based electrophysiologists have gained substantial expertise in their specialties through their studies at renowned national and international institutions. Each electrophysiologist on our team works with patients to create a plan of treatment options that is the best for that patient.

Patients come to us from throughout California, but especially the San Francisco East Bay and the cities of Oakland, Hayward, Berkeley, and Castro Valley to mention just a few. Many patients wonder what are the best questions to ask your electrophysiologist to learn about possible treatment options. Identifying the best questions to ask your electrophysiologist varies with each patient; our goal is to create an open, cooperative environment between you and your electrophysiologist specialist so that each and every question gets asked, and answered. That's one way to get to the best questions to ask your doctor.

Your first step is to research specialists online, but ultimately a face-to-face consultation with a electrophysiologist is necessary. There is no single “best” electrophysiologist – only the best electrophysiologist and cardiology treatment plan for you, a unique patient with unique needs, devised by a specialist in cardiac care.

Fortunately, with the Cardiovascular Center of Excellence of Alta Bates Summit Medical Center located in Oakland, it is a convenient trip for residents of Berkeley, Hayward, Castro Valley and other San Francisco East Bay cities to visit their electrophysiologist for an initial consultation or follow-up visits.

What is a Electrophysiologist?

Electrophysiology is the study of the electrical properties of biological cells and tissues. It involves measurements of voltage change or electric current on a wide variety of scales from single ion channel proteins to whole organs like the heart. In neuroscience, it includes measurements of the electrical activity of neurons, and particularly action potential activity. Recordings of large-scale electric signals from the nervous system such as electroencephalography, may also be referred to as electrophysiological recordings.
