Kent Nilsson, MD, FACC

My post-surgery care by Dr. Nilsson and his staff was very poor. Immediately following an a-fib ablation and an a-flutter ablation, I was experiencing chest heaviness, inability to speak due to almost constant coughing, difficulty swallowing/digesting food, dangerously low BP and HR. When the staff finally returned my calls, I felt they were dismissive in their response to me. I implored the PA to please speak personally to Dr. Nilsson about my issues. She called me back and said his response was that "it wasn't his fault" and for me to "go to an urgent care center" for my symptoms. I wasn't looking to place blame on someone!! I was seeking assistance from the same surgeon that I a had placed my trust in to perform my surgery, and to care for me AFTER my surgery . Instead, I felt that Dr. Nilsson "booted me to the curb" upon my release from the hospital. I feel certain that Dr. Nilsson has helped many patients; however, I would NEVER personally recommend Dr. Nilsson to any of my family and friends. I want a surgeon who can care for me not only during the procedures, but will also care for me post-surgery through my healing process.
