Biography
As a cardiac electrophysiologist, I provide treatment and management for all kinds of heart rhythm disorders. I believe in treating my patients the way I would want my own family to be treated. I take the time to meet with my patients and thoroughly cover all information relating to their condition while encouraging them to engage and ask questions. Besides performing various cardiac device implantations and catheter ablation procedures, I’m also keenly interested in preventative aspects of heart rhythm disorders.
My research interests include outcomes of emerging technology in heart rhythm disorders and stroke prophylaxis with left atrial appendage closure devices. I have actively involved myself in electrophysiology research for over a decade, and published more than 100 peer-reviewed papers.
I enjoy working at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center because it gives me access to the most innovative and evidence-based treatments.

Very satisfied. Listened to my health issues. Directly and very knowledgeable.
He always treats me with respect and compassion during our appointments.
Dr. Afzal came into the office within 2 mins of my scheduled appointment. He introduced himself but I knew him as I had been his patient before. He also introduced himself to our daughter who accompanied me. He explained in detail what my condition was and had a time frame as to when the corrective surgery would take place. Answered all questions from our daughter and me. He had a replica of a heart and showed where my problems excisted.
Dr Afzal took the time to answer our questions and explain the ablation procedure completely.
Great experience.
He was very personable, great bedside manner, very knowledgeable
Waited 1 hr to see physician.. But he spent quite a bit of time with me, so I k is it's because he cares.
