Patient Reviews
Oct 23, 2024
Dr. Lal might be a direct person, but she is efficient. She never just simply slapped a C-PAP on me. She set up the appropriate sleep study, we spoke about the results. I knew I would have sleep apnea. Pretty sure my ignoring it for years caused my blood clots. She got me set up on the right titrations, my sleep is excellent now. I don’t wake up with horrible headaches. If I could change one thing it would be having appointments be easier. I have no vehicle so getting out to my pleasant isn’t easy for me as I can’t afford uber or Lyft out there and I don’t know people locally. So video visits would work better.
