We are at the beginning stages of finding out what is wrong with our daughter and they have been very good about everything. It was amazing to have a team of multiple doctors already and how they where able to get different scans and biopsies done right away without have to travel back and forth a lot so far.

When I found out my son needed surgery I searched for the best doctor. Dr. Lal came highly recommended form my nursing colleagues. Dr. Lals bed side manner is wonderful and unique in medicine. He took the time to explain treatment options as well as the proposed surgery in detailed. We never felt rushed and he sat an answered all of our endless questions. Thank God, my sons surgery was a success. Again Dr. Lal kept us informed of how things were going during the surgery which helped relieve our anxiety. I am happy that this is all behind us now but it is clear to me that Dr. Lal is not only an exceptional surgeon but also a caring and compassionate physician.
