Dive aware Cardiologist in Los Angeles area?

[jgeldin]

A family member has asked for help finding a dive aware Cardiologist in the Los Angeles area. A friend of his was told by a non dive aware doctor to stop diving because of a genetic heart condition (unspecified). The diver wants to have a second opinion from a more informed source. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi Joel,

Couple of physicians you can try. If they can't see your friend, ask for a referral to another local cardiologist with diving medicine experience:

Dr. Johh Sabatini (several LA locations)
(310) 781-1414
(310) 370-3568

Dr. Matthew Berry (West LA area; Kaiser Permanente)
(323) 857-2000

Dr. William Nyitray (greater Bakersfield area)
(661) 323-8384

Regards,

DocVikingo
