Rob A. Patrawala

Rob is a Bay Area native who grew up in San Jose before attending UC Davis, where he obtained his BS in 1990 with High Honors. He attended UCLA Medical School, graduating in 1994 and was elected to the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Society. Rob completed his internship and residency at Stanford Hospital, before returning to UC Davis for his cardiology fellowship where he was the Chief Fellow. Following this, he returned to Stanford where he completed his training in Cardiac Electrophysiology. He joined Silicon Valley Cardiology in 2001 and practices all aspects of General Cardiology and Cardiac Electrophysiology including device implantation and cardiac ablation. However, his focus has been cardiac ablation, specifically of atrial fibrillation, and he has spearheaded the successful Atrial Fibrillation Ablation program at Sequoia Hospital. Having been an early pioneer in AF ablation, by 2011 he had performed over 1000 Atrial Fibrillation ablation procedures which very few physicians could match. He continues to carry out his clinical work while also serving as Vice President of Medical Specialties for the Palo Alto Foundation Medical Group. Rob and his wife live in Los Altos where they have raised their two children. He spends his free time with his extended family in the Bay Area, running, and attacking the slopes in Lake Tahoe.
