Merit Health welcomes B. Judson Colley III, MD, MPH, cardiac electrophysiology (EP) specialist to our medical staff. An electrophysiologist specializes in the study of the heart’s electrical system or activity used to diagnose abnormal heartbeats or arrhythmia. Some arrhythmias may be harmless, while others are more serious and require lifestyle changes and intervention.
Dr. Colley works with an experienced team of nurses and nurse practitioners to provide evaluation and treatment using advanced health care technology and techniques such as medication therapy, catheter based procedures and surgery for the treatment of heart rhythm disorders.
“As our community grows, we are proud to add Dr. Colley to our team. We are very excited we will now be able to offer this critical and highly specialized care right here in our community,” said Sam Dean, CEO, Merit Health River Oaks. “Our patients will greatly benefit from Dr. Colley’s experience. He has honed his valuable skills through many years of training, practice and research and we are thrilled to have his expertise added to our heart program.”
