A healthy heartbeat is our favorite song.
NOTHING SOUNDS BETTER THAN A HEALTHY HEART. But when a heart develops an arrhythmia, causing it to beat too weakly, too fast or just irregularly, it can cause more than discord. It can endanger your life. That’s why the electrophysiologists at the Stony Brook Heart Rhythm Center use the most advanced 3D mapping technology to locate the precise heart tissue causing the problem. So our team can perform accurate ablation procedures on even the most complex arrhythmias. And your heart can sound like music to your ears.

Maybe your “baby” is a logo that your friend designed 10 years ago, or a website your nephew built when he was in high school. We know how hard it is to admit that you have an ugly baby, but we call ‘em like we see ‘em... We fix ugly.
