Patient Reviews
Apr 16, 2018
Dr Varanasi is one of the best doctors in his field. He is knowledgeable, (leading edge technology) and has a fantastic bedside manor. He is articulate and easy to talk to and explain things about your condition. Due to a serious and pesky Afib condition, I sought an opinion from another Electrophysiologist in NY/NJ just to be sure and they confirmed Dr. Varanasi was spot on with his diagnosis and course of action. I literally trust him with my life.
