My visit with Dr. Lal was so refreshing. He was genuinely caring and made me feel confident that he was going to address my health issues. He gave me advice on the first day, which I have already implemented…I’m looking forward to a long relationship with him and his staff.

As a doctor I always appreciate being in another doctor's office and being completely thrilled by another office's staff and protocol. The staff in Dr. Lal's office is wonderful and from step to step - over a 4 hour window - they look after you, explain everything, and all have amazing bedside manners. Dr. Lal is fantastic and he indulges me being the patient with too many questions. I feel blessed to have found such a fantastic Cardiologist.

New Patient- Front desk staff was very friendly and quick with check in. Dr. Lal is VERY thorough, knowledgeable and had great bedside manner. I was in the office longer than expected for additional testing but that did not bother me at all. I also like how some of the labs, screenings and testing are done in house and you don't have to be referred out. Overall my experience as a new patient was great.
