Brian Greet, MD

Background

Dr. Greet is a cardiac electrophysiologist with Texas Cardiac Arrhythmia. He has a passion for treating those with complex arrhythmias. Dr. Greet has authored and co-authored articles in top leading journals and has been invited to present at national conferences such as the American Heart Association and Heart Rhythm Society. Additionally, in collaboration with Rice University and Texas A&M, he has led engineering teams resulting in the development of novel medical technologies where he holds multiple patents related to these endeavors. Dr. Greet’s priority, however, is to provide the safest, most compassionate and effective treatment for those with complex arrhythmias and associated syndromes. He prides himself on communication and understanding.

Dr. Greet has a special interest in performing cardiac electrophysiologic studies and ablations without the use of potentially harmful x-rays.
