Dr. Melvin M Scheinman

My husband in 1998 had multiple ablations by one of the finest electrophysiologist in New York, after consulting with him we decided that the next step was to go to UCSF to see Dr. Scheinman. Well, it worked and 20 years later he is still fine and medication free!

I looked for the BEST doctor in the world for my recalcitrant SVT. I found him at UCSF. After other attempts at ablation by Southern California doctors, I went to the inventor of electrophysiology. He looked at a very faint FAX of my ECG and knew exactly where my arrhythmia was coming from. He actually picked up his phone, told me to come up to SF, and that was the start of my freedom from this heart problem. It plagued me since age five. I had it done in 1997, and still free from those constant episodes of tachycardia. Thanks to this groundbreaking doctor. I looked for the BEST doctor in the world for my recalcitrant SVT.

I will never be able to thank this doctor for what he did for me in 1990. Because of him I am still alive today. A very kind and brilliant doctor. Sooo grateful. My experience was through UCSF not in his office. I was in hospital 10 days, long enough to know him as caring and concerned.

I am alive thanks to Dr. Scheinman and his incredible knowable and ability. Thank you, thank you. He found and treaated my rhythm abnormalities in 1990. Today I have cardiomyopathy and hear failure but I am alive. I continued treatment with a local Dr. afterwards but will never forget him.
