Dr. Dan Tan La, MD

I chose this office because of the great reviews for Dr. Dan, but I never had the chance to see him. I visited twice with severe shoulder pain and brought my MRI results. Both times I was seen only by a physician assistant, and there was no physical exam. The MRI was not explained properly and I left without clear guidance or a treatment plan. After doing my own research, I realized the MRI may indicate a different problem than what I was told. This was extremely frustrating and disappointing. If you are expecting to actually see the doctor, be aware that you most likely won’t.

I have PsA and it has been extremely difficult finding the right medication. He has never given up on me. He cares a great deal about his patients. I have been to other Rheumatologist but he's the best and most knowledgeable.

In 2007, Dr. La diagnosed me with dermatomyositis, a debilitating autoimmune disease that often has a poor prognosis. I was hospitalized for over a month, a period that nearly left me wheelchair bound and weakened to my core. But thanks to Dr. La, my primary physician Dr. David Han, and the staff at Glendale Adventist Hospital, I was able to walk out of there on my own two feet. Throughout my relapse in 2008, Dr. La continued to treat me until I was 100% in remission, this time to stay. And I can say that more than 10 years later, I've remained healthy despite the fact that the disease can manifest itself at any time. I live each day knowing that fact and I don't take my good health for granted, making sure I get my twice-yearly blood tests and listening to my body for signs for recurrence. I credit Dr. La (and the rest of my medical team) for saving my life, or at the very least, helping me regain my full strength. He's a great physician and a great man, and to him, I owe a… world of thanks.

caring and willing to help 100%

Office staff is impossible to reach. Never return calls for to make appointments. Rarely see Dr. La himself -- only a PA and then they spend the least possible amount of time. Dr. La seems to care very little about the general welfare of patients. Staff NEVER forwards test results to other physicians despite being asked repeatedly to do so. Overall very dissatisfied and looking for a different rheumatologist. Luckily my RA has been in remission as I certainly don't feel as if I get great care. This physician seems to care more about the business than actually connecting with patients.

Dr. La Office is always so friendly and the wait time is great and the Doctor is Amazing.....I Love how he asks me questions and checks to make sure my Health is doing great....... ....

Great Doctor

He may be a competent doctor, but he does not have a good bedside manner. I found him to be rude and arrogant. Even worse, I think he takes on new patients, when he does not have time to handle their medical problems. In the legal profession, that would be an ethical violation. It should be an ethical violation in the medical profession, as well. I went to see Dr LA about 6 months ago, on the recommendation of my primary care physican. My regular doctor had done routine blood work and was concerned about the lab results on one of the tests. So he sent me to Dr LA, thinking that Dr LA could resolve the issue. Dr LA told me that he needed me to re-take one of the blood tests. So he wrote a prescription for that test. He also said he needed the results of my vitamine D count from the prior lab test. He had trouble reading the lab report. The report was not legible. He then told me that I would have to call the lab to get the results of my vitimine D count, and then get back to his… office with the results. He said the practice of medicine has changed, and that he did not have time to make the phone call to the lab. That he was too busy. I was beyond taken aback. Dr LA had no problem billing my insurance company and agreeing to take me on as a patient. Yet, he did not have time to make a routine phone call to the lab? I told Dr LA that it was his responsibility to contact the lab, not mine. That he has a large staff. That I am a lay person when it comes to medicine, and that I did not think it was appropriate for him to tell me to make that phone call. I also told him that I am just as busy as he is.

of 4 times I went to the office I only saw Dr La only once ! for 5 minutes, other times are "Practicional "Nurses and even a diferent one every time! This Dr. has nice manners but it's all a Mask. HE ONLY CARES FOR THE BUSINESS. DON'T RECCOMEND HIM !

Dr. La was my Dr. when I was admitted into the hospital. He is very compassionate and knowledgable. I found him to be very attentive and helpful.
