Updated Steve’s List: US Doctors Installing the Watchman Device

If you are at high risk for stroke but can’t or don’t want to take anticoagulants, your doctor may suggest closing off the Left Atrial Appendage using an occluder such as the FDA approved Boston Scientific WATCHMAN™.

Steve’s List of Specialists Installing the Watchman: My original list of doctors installing the Watchman was limited to those EPs participating in the clinical trials. In 2015 the FDA approved the Watchman for use in the U.S. Since then my list of doctors installing the Watchman has expanded. (Internationally, the Watchman has been available since 2009.)

How to Find a Specialist: Today, you can visit the Boston Scientific website to find medical centers installing the Watchman device; just enter a state or postal code.

Use Steve’s List instead: When looking to install a Watchman device, I recommend you seek an electrophysiologist (EP) who is certified in “Clinical Cardiac Electrocardiography”. Use my list which is organized by state and city. Go to, Steve’s List of Specialists Installing the Watchman Device.
