Patient Reviews
Jan 27, 2025
We consulted Dr. Ferns for a second opinion regarding our son’s fast heart rate. Initially, we planned to wait and have the procedure done in Iowa, but my husband’s cardiologist recommended that we also consult Dr. Ferns. Thanks to Dr. Ferns, our son was back on the soccer field just three days after the procedure and has never felt better. He no longer requires follow-up care from a heart specialist.
