Dr. Miguel Lalama, MD

Best experience I have had with colonscopy everyone was great. Would almost wish I could do another one this year. Maybe not.

Referred by Vineyard Primary in February and waited for a late June appt. On June 13th was called to change location AND date which I had already arranged off work and transport. Girl on phone was rude. I explained that I was still working and to call me back in 1 hour when I had a calendar to see if I could arrange things. No call back, office closed. Unreliable and hard to contact.

Dr. LaLama delves deep to find the cause of illness and does more in-depth tests than others. I have had probably 5 scopes and the various surgeons and GI’s have all said I was fine, but they were just “eye-balling” it and failed to utilize all resources available to them, such as a microscope. Dr. LaLama did a new scope less than a year after another doc had given me the all-clear and , instead of just looking, he took random biopsies and discovered I had Celiac. Why didn’t any of the others do biopsies and look through a microscope, it seems like the obvious thing to do when someone is having clear symptoms along with a mystery illness. If you’re having symptoms that no one else can explain, please go see Dr. LaLama. He’ll give your case a lot of thought. And he’s super nice and takes so much time to listen to you and ask questions, he doesn’t rush you at all.

Dr Lalama has one if the best bed side manners I have seen. Very compassionate, kneeled beside the hospital bed to talk to me personally and confidentially.
