I didn’t even know what an EP was. My PCP referred me to my cardiologist when sleep apnea was suspected.

I am lucky to be treated at Mayo Jacksonville.
My heart failure doctor referred me to a sleep specialist who did sleep study. He reported his finding to my heart failure doctor with did not recommend C-cap.
I first came to Mayo back in 2006 to get a second opinion for a EP (electrophysiologist) when my regular cardiologist at a city I was living in wanted me to see a local EP. The EP I saw set me up with a lot of tests. He also referred me to a Mayo heart failure specialist. When I decided to change to Mayo for my care both worked together as a team.
EP did surgery to implant ICD/Pacemaker and heart failure totally changed my medications.
I had been driving 4 hours one way up and 4 hours back. But the care was outstanding. In 2015 I decided to move to Jacksonville area as like the area and found a Del Webb with indoor heated lap pool that I found outstanding amenity. Thus, my drive went from 4 hours up, 4 hours back, to 20 minutes to Mayo and 20 minutes back.
I cannot tell you how much Mayo Jack has expanded and grown in the 20 years I have been going there. When I went there, they did not even have a hospital built.
