Robert Andrew Pickett, MDCardiac Electrophysiology in Nashville, TN

Robert A. Pickett, MD, is a board-certified, experienced cardiac electrophysiologist with Ascension Saint Thomas in Cookeville, Crossville, Nashville, Tennessee as well as Bowling Green, Kentucky. Dr. Pickett specializes in diagnosing and treating atrial fibrillation (AFib), a type of arrhythmia in which your heartbeat is irregular, either too fast or too slow. Other symptoms may include chest pain, sweating, fatigue, shortness of breath, and weakness. He starts by listening to understand you and uses diagnostic testing to help determine the cause of your irregular heartbeat. Then, Dr. Pickett delivers non-surgical treatments to correct arrhythmias, irregular heart rhythms, and help prevent stroke.

Whether you have new symptoms or want to talk to a heart doctor about a heart rhythm diagnosis, Dr. Pickett is here for you. 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.

With more than 21 years of experience, Dr. Pickett is a highly skilled, board-certified cardiac electrophysiologist who helps patients with heart rhythm issues such as arrhythmia, atrial tachycardia, atrial fibrillation and syncope. He has a special interest in ablation, left atrial appendage closure, and using devices to keep your heart rhythm steady.

As a senior electrophysiology partner at Ascension Saint Thomas Heart Midtown, Dr. Pickett is dedicated to ensuring each patient receives the most appropriate care through the latest techniques.
