We had moved to Murrieta from Orange County and I had a difficult time finding a new Cardiologist. I have several heart problems and all they did was prescribe more and different medications, never took the time to actually fix my heart problems. After 4 difficult years, I was finally referred to Dr.Lu, and at my first visit he told me "We are going to take care of you". No one had ever said that to me before. Dr. Lu accurately diagnosed all my heart and blood pressure problems, and he immediately began ordering procedures - not more drugs. After a long time, my heart and blood pressure are finally taken care of and I am more comfortable than I have been in a very long time. Finding Dr. Lu has been a real blessing, and I highly recommend him.

Dr Lu always shows a deep interest in your health and never rushes his consultations and provides comprehensive recommendations and explains your medical condition and his diagnosis very thoroughly. I could not recommend his cardiologist more strongly.

Dr Lu is a wonderful cardiologist. He is very kind and explains everything. He never makes you feel rushed and he treats you like a member of his family. I would highly recommend Dr Lu! My family loves him. You may wait a little while to see him but he is more than worth the wait.

Dr Lu is fantastic. He is so thorough, patient and informative. He explained all the complications and upcoming procedures so clearly and is great at educating patients leaving us with brochures to better understand the process and future surgeries/options. He’s very honest and takes time to answer all questions. He is truly the BEST.
