Philosophy of care | My philosophy revolves around the physician-patient relationship. This relationship must be a partnership. The physician and patient must listen, trust and respect each other. As physicians, we must get to know our patients to appropriately care and guide them in their health care journey. Medicine is not all about guidelines and algorithms. We treat the whole patient, and therefore, we need to tailor our decisions based upon each person's needs and circumstances. Dr. Persin is rated as a Distinguished provider by MediFind in the treatment of Pulmonary Edema. His top areas of expertise are Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF), Arrhythmias, Atrial Fibrillation, Pacemaker Implantation, and Cardiac Ablation.

Areas of Expertise

MediFind evaluates expertise by pulling from factors such as number of articles a doctor has published in medical journals, participation in clinical trials, speaking at industry conferences, prescribing and referral patterns, and strength of connections with other experts in their field.
