      EXCELLENT!!! ABSOLUTELY THE BEST I HAVE SEEN! I have been having major pain issues since I had an accident almost 2 years ago. Dr. Lal was so professional, compassionate and very smart. I thought I wo...read moreuld have to live with the pain forever, because I've seen over 20 different specialists and though they tried, they were unable to help with my pain. I was so impressed with her bedside manner, her ability to try new out of the box therapies and her compassion. Chronic pain really does change your life. She tried a therapy called PRP on my pain, no other doctor even suggested it, and it has been the first time in the last two years that I can move around without being burdened down by the pain. She is a great doctor and I am so happy that I found her. She is also super accessible - gives out her email and tells me I can get in touch with her at anytime. I AM SO GRATEFUL TO HAVE FOUND HER!!! I WAS DISILLUSIONED BY NYC DOCTORS, but DR. LAL WAS A FANTASTIC FIND! An added bonus is that the office was very beautiful, clean, warm and the office staff was friendly. ...read less

      I have had varying chronic pain issues for 20 years, so I’ve seen many doctors. Dr. Lal’s professionalism, clinical knowledge, technical and warm/ interpersonal skills are really appreciate. Dr. Lal n...read moreever rushes you through your visit, shares new/ different treatments with you for consideration or your education, works with your other doctors for a holistic approach to your treatment, communicates effectively so you don’t leave the office confused, reviews your progress with you to see what is working or what needs to be modified, and if you have any issues she calls you back quickly. Since seeing Dr. Lal for close to a year, I continue to see improvements in the level of pain and the number of locations of pain. I have highly recommended Dr. Lal to friends and coworkers. ...read less

      Dr. Lal is one of several providers I have seen over the years for a chronic cervical dystonia/complications with little to no successful treatment in the past. From the very first visit, I knew I...read more9;d find relief from her listening and understanding my dysfunctions, what/why past Tx's have failed, and her initial plan on how to proceed with treatment. Over the course of 5 or so months, Dr. Lal worked tirelessly with other members of my treatment team, my insurance company, and myself to strategize additional treatments, change treatments, and ensure me that she (unlike nearly all others) would not back down from such a chronic, difficult problem. She has patience beyond what I could ever hope for in a doctor, and confidant. Finally after nearly a decade of pain, loss of range of motion and frustration from numerous providers giving up on my condition, Dr. Lal made breakthroughs that I never thought possible. I could only wish that I had crossed her path earlier; however, I am forever grateful for her compassion, patience, and drive for patient quality of life. ...read less
