As someone who works in the heart cath lab and sees A-fib daily you have a variety of options for treatment. Ablation procedures have greatly improved in the recent past with new technology if medication isn't working. My brother had his zapped on the first try and my mother took 3 separate attempts to get all of hers. She had a lot more scar tissue in the heart from years of chronic heart issues. She recently got off Eliquis as she had been a-fib free for 2 years (her pacemaker records any irregular events). I will agree all electrophysiologist are not created equal and for stubborn a-fib you need the right guy or gal.
