Brett Gidney, MD, FHRS

"My approach to patient care pairs state-of-the-art heart rhythm expertise with thoughtful, individualized clinical decisions. From treating atrial fibrillation to implanting cardiac devices and managing stroke prevention, I focus on safety, outcomes, and helping patients understand their options clearly and compassionately. The most rewarding part of my work is seeing patients get back to living their lives with greater confidence and less fear. Whether that means restoring normal rhythm, preventing stroke, or helping someone understand their condition, it is deeply meaningful to know that excellent care can change a patient’s daily life." ~ Dr. Brett Gidney, Cardiac Electrophysiologist Dr. Brett Gidney is a nationally recognized leader in Electrophysiology and a Fellow of the Heart Rhythm Society. He has additionally served in leadership, faculty, and clinical trial roles focused on atrial fibrillation, left atrial appendage occlusion, and advanced electrophysiology care. His earlier academic honors include receiving Honors and Distinction in Biology and University Scholar recognition at the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Gidney performs a full spectrum of heart rhythm procedures. This includes ablation for atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, SVT, PVCs, and ventricular tachycardia. He also handles the implantation and management of pacemakers, defibrillators, cardiac resynchronization devices, and loop recorders. His expertise extends to cardioversion, electrophysiology studies, and left atrial appendage occlusion procedures, for stroke prevention.
