Physician.
Expert. Advocate.
John Garner, MD, FACC is a board-certified cardiac electrophysiologist and the Medical Director of Electrophysiology for the CoxHealth hospital system in Springfield, Missouri — a role he has held since building the program from the ground up into a high-volume, tertiary-care EP service line serving the region.
Dr. Garner completed his cardiovascular fellowship at Baylor University Medical Center under Drs. Clyde Yancy and Rob Kowal, followed by subspecialty training in clinical cardiac electrophysiology at Indiana University School of Medicine under the legendary Dr. John Miller. He served as Chief Fellow in both programs.
His clinical practice spans the full spectrum of electrophysiology, with particular expertise in complex catheter ablation, ventricular tachycardia, and advanced device therapy. He holds active board certifications in Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology and Cardiovascular Disease through the ABIM, and has served on the ABIM Electrophysiology Board Examination Standard Setting Group.
Dr. Garner has served as principal investigator on multiple landmark multi-center clinical trials, holds patents in cardiac arrhythmia workflow technology, and maintains appointments as Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of Missouri School of Medicine and as clinical faculty for the US Special Operations Combat Medic training program. He has also served extensively as a medicolegal consultant for both plaintiffs and defendants in cardiac electrophysiology matters.
RhythmHelp represents the convergence of his clinical depth, his experience navigating the operational and financial realities of a major EP program, and his conviction that insurance carriers deserve the same subspecialty rigor on the review side that the operating room demands on the procedural side.
