Dr. Garg specializes in diagnosing and treating atrial fibrillation (AFib), a type of arrhythmia in which your heartbeat is irregular, either too fast or too slow.

He performs minimally invasive cardiac ablation procedures, such as cardiac resynchronization technology, cardioversion, electrical cardioversion, maze procedure, pacemakers, radiofrequency ablation, or catheter ablation, and implants heart devices, such as WATCHMAN™ to help restore a normal heartbeat.

Originally from Chicago, Dr. Garg attended medical school at Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine. He completed his fellowship training at Rush University Medical Center and is new to the Milwaukee area. Dr. Garg prides himself on being able to care for the full spectrum of heart rhythm disorders.
