It has been an incredible 2 year journey, with multiple cardiac ablation without complications.  Dr. Horton has always been a constant, and in whom I relied on for guidance through so many terrifying episodes of SVT.  Dr. Horton is a passionate and dedicated clinician, committed to treating complex arrhythmia's and restoring normal heart rhythm.  Today, I am arrhythmic free and so grateful to have my health restored, and for the compassionate care I received from Dr. Horton and his staff.  Truly blessed.
