I was first diagnosed with atrial fibrillation in 2005 and as it rarely bothered me I received no treatment. Then I found out in late 2018 it had got considerably worse and was in long term persistent atrial fibrillation, my heart had enlarged and wasn’t pumping properly. New medication such as blood thinners didn’t agree with me causing internal bleeding. The heart specialists I spoke to in the UK didn’t seem think any operation would work for me. So my risk of stroke and progressive heart failure seemed to be my future. Looking for any alternative options I read about the Atriclip as an alternative to blood thinners to cut stroke risk. This wasn’t available in the UK so my research led to Dr Salzberg who offered such an operation. Right from the start I new this was the right option for me as after sending him my health notes he felt there was a chance he could get my heart back into rhythm as well as the Atriclip option. After a couple of discussions where he made things very clear and reassuring my wife and I flew to Zurich to have the operation a month or so later. This was done successfully on 8th November 2019 to not only fit the Atriclip but a surgical ablation to cure the atrial fibrillation. A year later in November 2020 I can report that my heart is in perfect rhythm beating about 66 per minute (used to be about 90 out of rhythm). I had my annual review with my follow heart specialist last week in the UK who is amazed at the results. He feels that going from such fast irregularity to now nothing still after 12 months means the atrial fibrillation may never come back and is one of the best outcomes he has ever seen. Plus today I take no heart medication or blood thinners any more. So for any long term Atrial Fibrillation suffers or blood thinner issues take my advice and research Dr Salzberg. I cannot rate high enough the service, expertise and furthermore such a nice helpful person he is. Top Job one happy ex patient.

Dr Salzberg saw my father after his heart surgery for advice about symptoms that were difficult to diagnose. He was very thorough and knowledgeable in discussing the possible causes of the symptoms and how to approach treating the problem. My father was very impressed with the level of care he received. Thank you!
Prof. Salzberg has successfully treated me for a severe aortic valve insufficiency. He had been recommended to me for his patient-centric approach and the end-to-end professionalism he offers patients from diagnosis to successful release post surgery. I can only second the references I was given. Prof Salzberg is offering outstanding medical practice. In an area where patients like myself first have to deal with what I perceived as a shock diagnosis, he did an excellent job explaining the situation, outlining all treatment options' pros and cons and offering his guidance with a clear treatment recommendation. These steps were particularly important to me as it showed me how strongly he cares about partnering with the patient to find the optimal solution for the patient and his/her medical needs. After we chose the modus operandi, he was always available for questions and always helpful to deal with any anxieties. Not at least because it is a routine surgery for professionals yet a very big deal to have heart surgery for me as a patient. Surgery could not have gone any better. The wound healing was fast, my new biologic valve perfectly set, and the recovery has gone very well. I can only recommend the excellent support from the first conversation, to diagnosis, to surgery, to post-surgery, and recovery. With Prof. Salzberg and his team you are in the best hands.
We live in the south of france. The doctor down here told me i have atrial fibrillation and there is nothing else to do than to take pills all my life. I was not happy with that! My shortness of breath and feeling tired constantly was getting hard to live with, taking these bloodthinners all my life sounded horrible. I am 58 years old and otherwise fit. When visiting my son in zurich I decided to get a second opinion with Prof. Salzberg. That was the best thing i did. He took the time to counsel me and assess my problem, i met with him twice, and with his cardiology associate Dr. Franzen they did a full work-up exams - i felt truly taken care of. After careful consideration and research about the surgical ablation I decided to have the bigger operation so i could stop my blood thinner. It went very well the hospital im Park offered top service and medical care was outstanding. Prof. Salzberg and his team did an great job! Now 4 weeks later i am planing my next safari and feel already better than before surgery! Thank-you Prof. Salzberg. I can recommend his services with a good conscious.
Genau Heute vor 2 Jahren war ich sehr aufgeregt und hatte Angst. Nachdem ich Dr. Salzberg durch das Internet für eine Zweitmeinung kontaktiert habe, konnte ich mich mit ihm für eine Thorakoskopische Ablation entscheiden. Es war nach 3 Ablationen und zahlreichen alternativmedizinischen Behandlungen, meine letzte Hoffnung nach 20 Jahren Herzrhytmusstöhrungen. Heute bin ich fit und munter! Ich lebe mit keinerlei Herzbeschwerden und muss keine Medikamente mehr einnehmen. Ich bin Dr. Salzberg sehr dankbar für mein neues Leben! Jederzeit werde ich Dr. Sacha Salzberg für einen fachkompetenten, herzensguten und menschlichen Arzt weiterempfehlen.
Le Professeur Salzberg et moi avons fait connaissance il y a plus de 27 ans lors de nos études en Belgique. Nous étions très proches et amis pendant de belles années. Il y a 18 mois, mon état de santé s’est aggravé et j’ai eu l’idée de reprendre contact avec lui, avoir son avis et peut-être une recommandation pour m’adresser à un médecin en Europe, ne sachant absolument pas s’il avait continué sa médecine, s’il avait une spécialité et laquelle, puisque nous nous étions perdu de vue depuis 20 ans! Qu’elle ne fut pas ma surprise: Sacha est non seulement cardiologue mais rythmologue!!! Sacha n’a pas hésité à venir au Maroc pour m’opérer, et les retrouvailles ont été émouvantes. Son charme, son humour et son humilité ont séduit toute ma famille et mes amis. Quant à moi, je suis si reconnaissante de l’avoir comme ami mais surtout comme médecin.
