At Overlake Hospital I am joined by two accomplished electrophysiologists: Dr. Alan Heywood and Dr. Jeff Fowler. Together we are able to provide comprehensive EP coverage for patients and referring physicians.
We have two of the most experienced EP lab personnel in the region. Robert Johnson CVT and Ken Stevens RN have 16 years of experience in electrophysiology. This is the only regional EP team where all personnel have completed Heart Rhythm Society certification, reflecting their professionalism and dedication.
Here are some comments about our great team:
“Dr. Rodrigues, I am writing to commend your team. At the end of a busy day they still worked with grace and humor. Their dedication and professionalism was evident. I felt in good hands”
“Robert and Ken are the best – please thank them for making me feel so relaxed and well cared for. Loved the joking!”
