Scott A. Bernstein, MD

As a cardiac electrophysiologist at NYU Langone’s Heart Rhythm Center, I am dedicated to providing the best possible outcomes for my patients. My team and I operate as a cohesive unit, collaborating with experts in vascular, cardiac, and plastic surgery to provide state-of-the-art care. Our team’s extensive experience and innovative approach ensure that we can tailor our care to meet the unique needs of each patient, particularly those with complex or rare heart conditions.

With years of experience, I specialize in treating tachycardias (fast heart rhythms) and bradycardias (slow heart rhythms) using various techniques such as cardiac ablation, pacemaker implantation, resynchronization therapy, defibrillator implantation, and left atrial appendage closure.

I also manage complex issues related to pre-existing pacemakers, defibrillators, and other cardiovascular devices. This includes addressing infections, lead fractures, occluded veins, and endocarditis involving leads or other devices. I use advanced techniques and equipment to perform lead extractions and other procedures with a high success rate and minimal complications.
