marshgirl, My initial problems started with a left bundle branch block 24 years ago.

I presently see Dr. Kusumoto. He is the director of Electrophysiology Departement and Pace Clinic. He does a lot of research, written books, gives lectures, seminars, and is president of the U.S. Electrophysiology society. Been seeing him since 2006. He has done all my ICD/Pacemakers and ablation surgeries. If you can get him it would be great and would certainly asked for him. But realize he is the director now when I saw him initially he had just joined Mayo.

The pace clinic at Mayo Jacksonville is outstanding. What I have done is 3 months pacemaker checks done at home via a home device called latitude. It will automatically read your pacemaker and send to Mayo Clinic every 3 months. Once a year I come in and they fine tune my pacemaker and check wires, etc.

The electrophysioloigst are all outstanding! And the pace clinic is just a great. I think you will really find the Mayo Jacksonville complex and cardiology/electrophysiology departments outstanding.

If you get a name of who your appointment will be with send it to me and I can forward information about he/she. Mayo also uses a portal system that at anytime you have questions, etc. you can send a portal message to your physician and care team.

You can use the private message MCC has or do on forum. Glad to help.
