PACEMAKER THERAPY WITH HEART AND EXPERTISE

Dr. med. Felix Operhalski

Welcome to the pacemaker practice of Cardiology am Main. I offer you personal and long-term care for your implanted pacemaker or defibrillator (ICD/S-ICD).

The pacemakers and defibrillators used today are highly advanced mini-computers that enable you to lead a largely symptom-free life. However, this requires precise and individually tailored programming of these devices. With Dr Felix Operhalski, you benefit from the extensive experience of a recognised expert in this field. In our pacemaker practice, all pacemaker and defibrillator systems can be checked and optimised. As Dr Felix Operhalski personally implants all these so-called "devices" in the clinic, he possesses an in-depth understanding of the systems and can quickly identify potential weaknesses should a device not function as intended.

Your advantage: Continuous care from the same physician without change ensures trust, safety, and optimal medical support.
