VCS physicians believe in preventing heart disease just as strongly as they believe in diagnosing it.

❤️ Is it safe to have heart rhythm procedures outside of a hospital?

It’s a question many patients ask. The answer depends on the experience of the physicians, the safety standards of the facility, and careful patient evaluation.

At Virginia Cardiovascular Specialists, many electrophysiology (EP) procedures are performed in our accredited cardiovascular ambulatory surgery center (ASC), designed specifically for heart rhythm care.

For patients, that often means:

• A calmer, more comfortable setting
• Shorter wait times and predictable scheduling
• Expert care from board-certified electrophysiology specialists
• 99%+ of patients going home safely the same day

Our program was recently featured in the national cardiology publication EP Lab Digest, which recognized the development of our electrophysiology program. But what matters most is the safe, compassionate care our patients experience every day.

Many people are surprised to learn some heart procedures can safely be done outside a hospital. Did you know this?

Thank you so much for sharing your experience, Deborah! We’re thrilled to hear that your first visit to our Bell Creek office went smoothly and that online check-in made the process even easier.

Dr. Mishra takes great pride in creating a collaborative, patient-centered experience, and we’re so glad you felt heard, supported, and never rushed. We truly believe healthcare works best when it’s a team effort.

We appreciate you trusting us with your care and look forward to seeing you again! 💙

Full Testimonial: My first visit to the Bell Creek office. Check-in went very smoothly. I always try to do check in online and that really helps. I saw Dr. Mishra. He is attentive, easy to understand, and creates a patient dialogue not a monologue. I felt like we were working as a team. I appreciated the time that he spent with me and did not feel rushed. Thank you for a great first visit. - Deborah S.

Pause for a moment 🌊
Press play and let the sound of the ocean guide your breathing.
Inhale. Exhale.

Taking even a few slow, intentional breaths helps calm the nervous system, lower stress hormones, and reduce tension in the body. Over time, managing stress supports heart health by helping regulate blood pressure and heart rate.

Give yourself this moment to breathe, reset, and care for your heart.

We are proud to celebrate Dr. Robert Sperry, who was recently honored with the dedication of the Cath Lab & Robert Sperry, MD Electrophysiology Lab.

As one of the first cardiac electrophysiology fellows trained at MCV Hospitals, Dr. Sperry became the first dedicated cardiac electrophysiologist at Henrico Doctors’ Hospital in 1994. Over 25 years, he helped build and grow the hospital’s EP program, introduced advanced procedures, and contributed to major clinical trials that shaped heart rhythm care.

Known for his calm presence, humor, and deep compassion for patients, Dr. Sperry leaves a lasting impact on our team and community. His legacy lives on in the program he built and the countless lives he touched. 💙

Ladies — your heart health deserves attention, too. ❤️

Many women are surprised to learn that heart disease is the #1 cause of death for women, and that symptoms can be subtle or easy to overlook. Fatigue, shortness of breath, nausea, jaw or back pain can all be warning signs.

The good news? Knowing your risk factors and taking small, proactive steps can make a big difference.

Our cardiology team put together a helpful guide to understanding heart disease in women and how to lower your risk at every stage of life.

Take a few minutes to learn something that could truly protect your future.

Wearing red is a small gesture that represents a big mission: protecting the hearts of our community.

Thank you for your trust in our team. We're proud our team delivered the attentive, compassionate care you deserve—your kind feedback means so much to us. 💙

Full Review: I was very well taken care of and you will be too!! My check out admin assistant, Alex Jones, expertly pointed out & explained the procedures & pre/surgery do's & don'ts. The entire time I was happy to be there and I fully trusted the entire staff. Doc Kumar did a perfect demo of the planned attack at my health issues. Back to Miss Alex as I close, she extended beyond any other medical professional I've seen since my trip to the ER 4 years ago. She's a 10 Gold Stars Winner and deserves a BONUS of recognition. Perceptive, professionals that make you feel like you are feeling good. So from my heart, please accept my sincere thanks for being a patient (with patience) under your professional care. - Dave T.
