I’d definitely recommend Dr. Khanal. I’ve been a patient of his for a long time and he requested that I did all the tests needed to ensure that my heart is well. He also made sure that I start taking medication for cholesterol which is at a very good level now. My husband is also his patient. Dr. Khanal recently did a procedure on him, and he is feeling much better. He feels very reassured to be under the great care of Dr. Khanal, and highly recommend Dr. Khanal too. We wholeheartedly thank him for his dedication towards his patients.

I was sent to Dr Khanal as a new patient a few years ago. I didn't know him and he didn't know me except by my history intake information. I already had a pacemaker implant at that time so we worked on that premise and went forward. Since that time he and I have built a relationship based on trust, skill and open communication. Recently I had the Watchman implant and I completely trusted his judgement without reservation. In my eyes he is an exemplary Doctor who is qualified and skilled to do what is right for his patients. I gladly give him a 5 star rating in my book and will highly recommend him to anyone who is in need of a Cardiac Specialist who truly cares I thank him from my heart for his care and consideration of my life. Sincerely, Laurie Gillman

I have a high level of heart problems on both sides of the family. I told him that I was on zetia and zocor. He did not know why I was on both. So, he prescribed Lipitor that I had severe reactions to. He should have know that zetia and zocor are to help with cholesterol in both food and body. He also never did any tests with my history other than blood pressure. I had to rate him this way due to the above.

Once Dr. Khanal started to get to know me, I was very pleased with his treatment and his responsiveness to my heart problems. His nurse has also been just wonderful to me. He is the best cardiologist I have seen in Lancaster over the past 30 years.

I love Dr. Khanal. He fixed my legs so they don't fall asleep any more but his nurses for appointments suck. They are rude and they think they are better than others. I don't like to go see the doctor because of them.
