About Efrain H Gonzalez, MD
Biography
Dr. Gonzalez was born in Rochester, New York. He received a medical degree in Asuncion, Paraguay, and completed an internal medicine residency and a cardiology fellowship at Tulane University, followed by a cardiac electrophysiology fellowship at the University of Miami. A specialist in cardiac electrophysiology, Dr. Gonzalez is trained to perform interventional cardiac electrophysiology studies (EPS) as well as surgical device implantations. An EPS is performed to assess complex arrhythmias, ta
Care Philosophy
We know that the heart is central to your health and family. So when it comes to your heart and vascular health, you want the best healthcare available. That is why it was important to me, Dr. Efrain Gonzalez, MD to offer the community of Miami, FL the perfect combination of experience, advanced technology, state-of-the-art treatments with personal care.
