Dr. Hall graduated from Emory University in 1992 and received his MD from the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry in 1997. He completed his internal medicine residency at the University of Virginia, and his cardiology and electrophysiology fellowships at the University of Michigan. He then joined our faculty at the University of Rochester Medical Center in 2004. Dr. Hall currently serves as the director of the heart station at Strong Memorial Hospital and as the director of the cardiovascular fellowship program.

Dr. Hall is a member of the electrophysiology section. Dr. Hall is an expert in complete management of pacemakers, defibrillators, and resynchronization devices. He specializes in treatment of patients with atrial fibrillation, especially ablation for atrial fibrillation. He is board certified in Cardiovascular Disease and Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology.
