"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."

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.
