Merit Health welcomes B. Judson Colley III, MD, MPH, cardiac
electrophysiology (EP) specialist to our medical staff. An electrophysiologist specializes in the study of
the heart’s electrical system or activity used to diagnose abnormal heartbeats or arrhythmia. Some
arrhythmias may be harmless, while others are more serious and require lifestyle changes and
intervention.
Dr. Colley works with an experienced team of nurses and nurse practitioners to provide evaluation and
treatment using advanced health care technology and techniques such as medication therapy, catheterbased
procedures and surgery for the treatment of heart rhythm disorders.
“As our community grows, we are proud to add Dr. Colley to our team. We are very excited we will now
be able to offer this critical and highly specialized care right here in our community,” said Sam Dean, CEO,
Merit Health River Oaks. “Our patients will greatly benefit from Dr. Colley’s experience. He has honed
his valuable skills through many years of training, practice and research and we are thrilled to have his
expertise added to our heart program.”

School of Medicine, followed by a cardiology and cardiac electrophysiology fellowship at the Medical

Medicine/Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology and has been in practice since 2007, serving roles as both a
