Electrophysiologist Bernard Lim, MD, joins ProHealth's heart team

Bernard Lim, MD, has joined the team of providers at the UW Health Heart & Vascular Center at ProHealth Care.

Dr. Lim is board-certified in cardiovascular disease and electrophysiology. He completed fellowships in both of these disciplines at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn.

Electrophysiologists are cardiologists who specialize in testing and treating heart rhythm problems. They have training in performing advanced cardiac-related procedures and interpreting test results.

“I believe in treating the whole person, rather than an isolated disease or condition,” Dr. Lim said. “It's important to recognize the additional time it takes to listen to patients and assess their needs to make sure that everything possible is done to provide quality care. The needs of the patient come first.”

The team at the heart and vascular center works to diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions, including arrhythmia, atrial fibrillation, ischemic heart disease, chest pain, heart attack, heart failure, structural heart disease, heart valve disease, and peripheral vascular diseases. The team also is engaged in clinical research.

Among the clinical professionals caring for patients at the UW Health Heart & Vascular Center at ProHealth Care are:

• Cardiologists
• Cardiothoracic surgeons
• Electrophysiologists
• Interventional cardiologists
• Interventional radiologists
• Vascular surgeons
• Specially trained nurses
• Cardiovascular technicians
• Cardiac rehabilitation specialists

The UW Health Heart & Vascular Center at ProHealth Care is located on the campus of ProHealth Waukesha Memorial Hospital. Dr. Lim sees patients there and at the ProHealth Medical Group clinic at 1185 Corporate Center Drive in Oconomowoc. Call 262-928-8800 to schedule a visit.

Heart and vascular services are also provided at ProHealth Medical Group locations in Brookfield, Mukwonago, Muskego, New Berlin and Pewaukee, and at ProHealth Care’s hospitals in Oconomowoc and Waukesha. For more information, visit ProHealthCare.org/Heart.
