Stephen P. Seslar, MD, PhD

Cardiology

On staff since March 2008

Research Center: Center for Clinical and Translational Research

"My work as a pediatric electrophysiologist involves taking care of children with heart rhythm disorders. The field of electrophysiology is so exciting because it has undergone tremendous technological advancements in the past 15 years. These advancements now allow us, in many cases, to cure heart rhythm disorders safely and in ways never before possible. It is a great example of medical technology directly impacting quality of life, and I greatly enjoy being a part of that."

Recommendations

Yes, I strongly agree that Dr. Seslar is a very good listener. Some doctors forget to listen to patients, and Dr. Seslar listens to your or your kid's concerns very well. He is very dedicated to his work, and I will never forget him. If I ever end up in Seattle, I'd definitely see him again! He is also a careful doctor who knows a lot about pacemakers and other disorders. :)

If you get to chose your Pediatric Cardiologist, chose Dr. Seslar. He will go over and above your expectations and your child will love his visits. My adult son was fortunate to be one of Dr. Seslar's patients while he was working at Children's Hospital in San Diego. We both miss him very much. I give Dr. Seslar a Five+ Star rating. He is the best.
