Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Those folks who gave 1 star to DR Lalani need to get a grip on themselves. As a 45 year lawyer who specialized in medical malpractice, I have represented more than 2000 Doctors. Yes, there are some bad ones out there. DR Lalani is NOT of them. He is one of the most thorough, honest and trustworthy MD’s I have known. I’ll bet anything that those 2 who gave 1 star are the same ones who send their food back 3 times at a restaurant, any restaurant.

Horrible experience. No one in his office would call back and book an appointment. If his staff is bad, it reflects on him. He is supposed to help people in pain. I am in pain, yet even 4 phone calls didn't prompt anyone to call me back for an appointment

If I could give less than 1 star I would. After going to Dr. Lalani for recurring back pain, he recommended facet joint injections. As I had experienced issues with my insurance before, I was very persistent that he cleared the procedure with my insurance to verify I would have little to no out of pocket cost. After his office confirmed I would pay nothing, I agreed in October. Over 6 months later, I received a bill for $1,000 from Dr. Lalani. He deceived me into trusting him. Terrible decision!

I see Dr. Lalani for my chronic pain. Not only does he explain very thoroughly what he is doing, he also asks if I have any questions - no hurry out the door type of attitude. He's very qualified (internal medicine and anesthesiology as well as pain medicine degrees) and his office is clean with the latest equipment. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Lalani is the consummate professional. He was patient and thorough. I didn't have my last MRI with me &he jumped through hoops to have his staff get it from the radiologist. I had just come off a horrible experience with another pain management doctor & Dr. Lalani was like a breath of fresh air! I have already recommended him to others. His staff was also extraordinary. I was reallyupset after seeing another doctor (who was horrible) and they were able to sneak me in the next day.
