I went to Dr Baranowski for second opinion on AFIB heart condition. He was very professional, answered questions in a thoughtful concise way, and explained everything in a thorough easy to understand manner. I decided to have him as my primary cardiologist even though it means traveling from Colorado for appts. I would highly recommend him and the Cleveland Clinic to anyone with a similar condition.

In the past I have not had good luck with cardiologists. They have either treated me with little respect or refused to work with me. Dr. Baranowski is a gem. He listens to me, works with me on my treatment and answers my questions. He is open-minded where I am concerned.

Dr Barnranowski is extremely knowledgeable and takes time to ensure patient full understand and has all questions answered. He explained things about my ICD that I previously didn't know. I feel fortunate to have him as my doctor

Every experience I have had with Dr. Baranowski has been perfect. The ablation he performed on me I call miraculous because although I know "once a fibber, always a fibber", I have not had any Afib symptoms for almost 2 years since the ablation. Dr. Baranowski makes extraordinary effort to understand me, my health, my life style and my desires and tailors the treatment and information he gives me to enable me to optimize how I live from today on. I could not feel more fortunate!
