  • I was impressed with the whole experience. I was referred to Dr Desai by my primary Physician. Dr Desai exceeded my expectations of care and expertise. Thank you I am trusting Providence healthcare and its providers with my healthcare needs at this time.
    Always a positive experience at this office. Not always good news for me, but office runs like a well oiled machine
    Dr. Desai has been my electrophysiologist cardiologist since 2013. I feel blessed to have had him caring for me.
    OUTSTANDING care and information received from Dr Desai. He has been very helpful to my overall health
    Dr. Desai did the cardiac ablation and followed up with me on the outcome and answered problems I was experiencing after the procedure. He is knowable of my many cardiac conversions, my first ablation and my challenge with stage [ID] melonama. During the procedure he found some hew spits on my lung and immediately notified my cancer doctor to follow up. I am already set up to do a CT scan of my lungs and abdomen. I have a lot of confidence in aDr. Desai!

    Biography
    Aseem Desai, MD, FHRS is a Stanford-trained cardiologist with over 20 years of experience caring for patients with heart rhythm disorders. His clinical practice includes catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, supraventricular tachycardia, premature ventricular contractions, and ventricular tachycardia, using robotic, pulsed field, radiofrequency, and cryoballoon technologies. He also performs electrical cardioversion, implantable loop recorder placement, long-term rhythm monitoring, and tilt table testing. He co-directs Mission Heritage Heart Rhythm Specialists and frequently evaluates patients referred for palpitations, unexplained dizziness or syncope, exercise intolerance, recurrent arrhythmias, and persistent symptoms despite medical therapy or unrevealing initial testing. He works closely with referring clinicians to co-manage patients, clarify diagnosis, guide treatment options, and support shared decision-making over time. Dr. Desai is the author of Restart Your Heart: The Playbook for Thriving with AFib, a contributor to Psychology Today, and a former Assistant Professor at the University of Chicago.
