One year later this became a serious case of persistent A-Fib. Dr. Tummala quickly diagnosed the problem and recommended an ablation to rectify the issue. I was given alternatives and plenty of education as to what to expect. I selected the ablation and began the process of preparing for surgery. All the medical personnel were very professional as they walked me through the various testing and preparations. By the day of surgery I was confident that I was in good hands and had no regrets or fears going in. The surgery was in early September of 2022 and now nearly 8 months later I've had no recurrence of symptoms and have resumed my running. I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome of the clearly skillfully performed procedure that saved my life and allowed me to return to the people and activities I love. Thank you Dr. Tummala and all the supporting staff and professionals at Kansas City Heart Rhythm Institute and Overland Park Regional Medical Center." -C S."I have been a patient of Dr. Tummala for approaching 9 years now.
