About Me

Abhishek K. Jaiswal, MD, specializes in helping adults address heart rhythm disorders, which are abnormal electrical conditions of the heart. He treats conditions such as bradycardia, tachycardia, and atrial or ventricular arrhythmias through various methods, including:

  • Medication 
  • Implantation of a pacemaker, defibrillator or Watchman
  • Electrophysiology study and ablation

Dr. Jaiswal emphasizes patient-centered care, ensuring that patients understand well their clinical conditions and available management strategies. He believes that keeping patients well-informed contributes to improved clinical outcomes. Taking good care of patients is always his priority.   

Originally from Nepal, Dr. Jaiswal graduated from Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital in 2010. He completed his internship and residency training at State University of New York (SUNY) Upstate Medical University in Syracuse. He furthered his training with a cardiology fellowship at Ascension St. John Hospital in Detroit and an electrophysiology fellowship at Montefiore Medical Center/Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York. Dr. Jaiswal is board certified in clinical cardiac electrophysiology, cardiovascular disease and internal medicine by the American Board of Internal Medicine. He also holds board certification in echocardiography from the National Board of Echocardiography.

Passionate about electrophysiology, Dr. Jaiswal enjoys mapping electrical signals of the heart and performing procedures that help restore normal heart rhythms. “It’s a great feeling when a patient who has been struggling with arrhythmia starts having a normal lifestyle,” he said.

In his personal time, Dr. Jaiswal enjoys outdoor activities like hiking, bicycling and spending time in nature with family and friends. His wife, Dr. Pooja Jaisawal, is a hospitalist at Willis Knighton.
