great staff,friendly,professional,expert eye care by Dr Lalin,short wait times,everything was wiped down prior to use

Jun 18, 2022

I met with Dr. Shah. I found her to be extremely professional and explained everything to me in simple terms so that I could understand. I am going back in one month for my follow up visit.

Jun 18, 2022

I had a great experience with retina & eye specialists but I must say there should only be one room where they do all the tests and make sure that all the patients don’t wait so long but as far as the rooms very clean the staff was very nice and clear about what they were going to do.

Jun 12, 2022

Dr. Lalin answered all my questions, & was really easy to talk to. The staff was wonderful and I actually enjoyed my visit.

Apr 15, 2022

I can give no higher praise than this to Dr. Shah. She asked questions about my lifestyle, and when she learned a little about me, she imparted the such practical advice given my medical diagnosis. A true gem of a doctor. Thank you Dr. Shah.

Dr. Lalin and the entire staff are fantastic.

Dec 11, 2021

Dr Lalin and staff are excellent

Dec 11, 2021

The office staff and doctor were friendly and professional. I came here for a second opinion, but I am switching to this practice for good.

Dec 9, 2021

It was very disturbing to arrive at 7:45AM pronto, to be checked in by a very pleasant medical assistant, pay my co-pay, to then wait 15 minutes to a very pleasant medical assistant who then evaluated my eye sight for Dr. Lalin. This is were it got disturbing. I sat in Dr. Lalin's office for 1 HOUR to be evaluated. He's not even in the building at that time frame. Not good. If he continually knows that seeing patients at 0900 hrs in the morning, why does he bring you in a 7:45AM? I'll never to that again!! My time waiting for him is money out of pocket. One good thing that I'll say, the prescription PREDNISOLONE ACETATE 1% was a good call.

Dec 6, 2021

Dr. Lalin uses the most humane system for eye injections. Almost always painless!

Nov 22, 2021

Everyone was very friendly, and helpful! Thank you!

Nov 21, 2021

Doctors are great but you could improve on scheduling. Takes a while to be seen

Nov 21, 2021

Very professional, comfortable, and friendly office. I was not able to complete my appointment because the optician was not available due to a personal matter. I am not sure if I will return because I suspect the prices are quite high.

Nov 15, 2021

outstanding staff and Dr. Lalin is the best.

Nov 15, 2021

Dr Lalin is a great doctor. Trust him completely. He listens and explains. He repaired my torn retina few years back with laser surgery. Hes the best doctor ever

Nov 14, 2021

Dr.Shah is phenomenal. Unfortunately, unless I go to the office physically, I am unable to reach an actual person when I call the office. I have left 3 messages asking that my prescription be mailed to my home address. My appointment was on 10/28. It is now 11/13, I’m out of contacts, and I still don’t have my prescription. I’ll miss Dr. Shah’s warm demeanor and professional excellence, but I’ll be going elsewhere next year.

Nov 13, 2021

A few years ago I was referred to 'Retina & Eye Specialists of NJ' by my primary care ophthalmologist. I was seen by Dr. Sean Lalin who diagnosed my torn retina and treated it with laser surgery. This was a very scary situation for me - your eyes are so important! I felt so comforted by his care and also knowing I was in great hands. I now see Dr. Kruti Shah for my annual follow-up examinations. She is wonderful - an excellent doctor and always makes you feel at ease and that you are under great care. I am lucky to have been referred to this group. Highly recommend them.

Nov 11, 2021

Dr. Lalin was very nice and very informative. The care I received was excellent.

Nov 11, 2021

Incredible equipment, procedures, and staff. I's been several years (20) since I've had such a modern checkup. bjk

Oct 12, 2021

Very good Doctor and very good staff

Oct 11, 2021

Oct 9, 2021

Sep 26, 2021

The office and surgical staff as well as technicians were wonderful. Warm and pleasant and made me feel at ease. During the prep and surgery I was never alone and always had a warm person who spoke to me. Place is beyond clean. 100% wonderful

Sep 25, 2021

I was able to get an appointment quickly and set up the procedure in a short time span.

Sep 22, 2021

Very professional. Is a great Doc.

Sep 21, 2021

I switched to Dr Lalin after 10 years with another retina specialist in the area and it was the best move I could have made.

Sep 18, 2021

I know that it can't be helped, but, visiting an eye doctor is too much like visiting a factory. Too busy! Rushed and unsatisfied with the results. I still need a prescription for new glasses which was the primary reason for my visit. I have been experiencing a regression in my seeing and reading and I was hoping for an improvement.

Sep 13, 2021

My initial visit was very professional and I was at ease with examinations.

Sep 11, 2021

The Staff was friendly and courteous. The Ophthalmologist thorough and professional. She took the time to explain what she found and asked questions to make sure I understood .

Sep 6, 2021

The office was welcoming and efficient; Dr. Shah was personable and thoroughly professional, performing the exam carefully while explaining what she was doing. She concluded with a clear and concise summary of her findings.

Sep 6, 2021

She is excellent doctor. Very thorough

Sep 6, 2021

Great visit with very professional staff

Sep 5, 2021

HAVE BEEN SEEING HIM FOR MANY YEARS STARTING IN HIS THEN PBURG OFFICE FOR TREATMENT OF DIABETIC RELATED EYE ISSUES AND FOR REMOVAL OF CATARACS. HE HAS ALWAYS DONE EXCELLENT WORK WHICH PROBABLY ACCOUNTS FOR LONGER WAIT TIMES THE TREATMENT RECEIVED MAKES THE WAIT TIMES WELL WORTH IT

Sep 3, 2021

Very nice professional staff, starting with the receptionist. Fast, accurate, and friendly care.

Aug 30, 2021

Absolutely horrible I sat in a chair for over 30 minutes after getting dilated and nobody came and visited me I had to walk out

Aug 29, 2021

Dr Lalin is great. However, the gentleman sent the prescription to the wrong place. Also, it would have been great if Dr. Lalin explained the vitamin recommended in the report.

Aug 29, 2021

Very pleased with my visit. The doctor was pleasant and informative. He explained my problem and what can be done so that it can be fixed and my vision will improve. My husband and I now feel I will be in very good hands and my problem will hopefully be solved.

Aug 27, 2021

Very pleased with the service and friendliness. Highly recommend you!

Aug 23, 2021

Very organized thorough exam.

Aug 21, 2021

Dr. Shah really cares about her patients. She always explains everything thoroughly. She's an excellent doctor.

Aug 20, 2021

I asked for office manager to call me, she hasn’t

Aug 14, 2021

Very thorough exam. Very professional

Aug 10, 2021

I've always been treated very well by the entire staff. It's never too busy, everyone is friendly and helpful. I always come away with a perfect prescription. Probably the best glasses I've ever had.

Aug 2, 2021

Very thorough exam. Friendly and professional staff.

Aug 2, 2021

Very straight forward, seemed very confident

Jul 29, 2021

Everyone is friendly and helpfull, I always recomend the Doctor to my friends

Jul 29, 2021

Very professional Clean offices Everything is wiped down and sanitized. Each team member knows their station and completes the tests professionaly and quickly.

Jul 29, 2021

I saw a provider who erroneously told me that my retina was potentially separating. Casually, she sent me home to return in three months. Realizing this was unwise advice, I immediately sent an email to Dr. Lalin's office under the "contact me" tab on their webpage indicating that I had a possible retina emergency. My message was after hours. Dr. Lalin's office called me at 7:15 a.m. the following morning and made a space in their schedule to see me that morning. Dr. Lalin conducted a painstaking examination, and then explained to me that my eye was perfectly healthy after all. Not only did he act with the appropriate urgency, he also saved me from needlessly experienced significant continued emotional distress. I can't thank him and his staff, including his assistant, Laurie, enough.

Jul 27, 2021

Excellent professional services from Dr. Shah and colleagues. I am very satisfied with the care I received.

Jul 25, 2021

I was referred by a former patient due to a concern about some vision issues, and I was not disappointed. Multiple tests, very professional staff. Extremely thorough, answered all my questions, offered alternatives for treatment. Good office.

Jul 19, 2021

Dr. Lakin and the staff are friendly, patient and professional. I am appreciative of this.

Jul 19, 2021

This was my first visit. I was impressed by all staff. They were friendly, professional and caring. Thank you for making me feel welcomed & comfortable.

Jul 18, 2021

I have already recommended a friend who is now a patient. And she raves about how kind and caring the staff is.

Jul 17, 2021

Very competent Dr. Support personnel courteous and professional Facility very comfortable

Jul 15, 2021

I was very pleased with the service I received. The staff was both friendly and efficient. The doctor was extremely professional and patient. Before any test was done each nurse explained the procedure they would be performing. Once Dr. Lalin arrived, he had all the answers and spoke with me. He answered my questions and concerns. I feel extremely fortunate to be in good hands. My husband will be seeing Dr. Lalin as well.

Jul 12, 2021

Been coming to Dr. Lalin for many years and he has kept me from losing my eyesight due to wet macular degeneration. Also did a procedure on my other eye. Dr. Lalin keeps up to date on latest medications and procedures. I have complete confidence in him.

Jul 12, 2021

I don't think made my self clear I wanted a optometric appointment not cataract operation and felt pressure to have a procedure I was not ready for yet

Jul 11, 2021

Everyone is very friendly and does their job well.

Jul 5, 2021

As always, the staff at Retina and Eye Specialists Of N.J. are there to make me feel welcome and Comfortable while prepping me to see Dr. Lalin.

Jul 4, 2021

The staff was professional and kind. The doctor was wonderful.

Jul 3, 2021

Always very friendly and professional. Makes you feel like you’re in good hands.

Jul 2, 2021

I have been a patient of Dr. Lalin for many years. The office staff are very personable. I have had excellent expierences since I have been going there. I would highly recommend this office.

Jul 1, 2021

The doctor has great manners and is professional and knows his patients. He also does great work.

Jun 24, 2021

The testing was thorough, almost two hours, but the consultation with Dr. Lalin was brief. I tried to absorb what he was telling me but in the end I had some questions but he had left.

Jun 22, 2021

I was just telling someone the other day what a pleasant visit to your office, right from the receptionist to the young woman doing all the eye tests/exams and my final visit with the Dr. Thank You!!! Deb Blide

Jun 20, 2021

Dr. Lalin is amazing! I recommend him to any one who has retinal issues. He saved my vision! I will not got to any one else, but him.

Jun 19, 2021

The front desk, doctor and all the staff were so nice and very helpful. The service was great

Jun 14, 2021

The Doctor was excellent. She was extremely thorough and made me feel very comfortable. It was my first time getting my eyes dilated and she made it a really good first experience. However, the woman that handles the lens making is not efficient in terms of getting glasses to patients in a timely manner. She takes 2+ weeks to makes the lens, which is not good because the doctor schedules a follow up appointment for 6 weeks to see how I am adjusting to the glasses.

Jun 14, 2021

Dr. Lalin and his team are best in class!

Jun 13, 2021

Dr.Lalin and the entire staff are excellent.

Jun 12, 2021

Very professional in the office from the staff to Dr. Lalin himself. Are very satisfied with all the office has to offer as a patient.

Jun 8, 2021

Dr Lalin is the best eye doctor. He is always very professional and friendly with his patients. The entire staff is very professional and friendly. I would recommend this practice to everyone.

Jun 7, 2021

Dr. Shah and staff made you feel welcome.

May 31, 2021

Took far too long . Imposed a major inconvenience upon my driver .

May 30, 2021

Waiting time was awful. Unnecessary wait for about 45 minutes if no more. Front desk was friendly but too loud. Optometrist needs improvement on customer service initial contact. I felt ignored. No greeting and no sense of courtesy. Something needs to be done regarding the restroom. Nobody likes to hear people peeing. It is gross!

May 29, 2021

Some confusion what my visit was for, and I felt they didn't really read my history in advance (this was my 1st visit and I spent a LOT of time filling out their forms in detail).

May 29, 2021

As always very pleased with professional exam

May 23, 2021

All are very professional, staff & Dr. Lalin, who is excellent.

May 22, 2021

Dr shah is extremely dedicated and patience with clients especially teenagers. Kudos to Dr shah and staff.

May 22, 2021

My son Carlos was treated with the upmost care, respect and professionalism and my wife Lila is also a patient. We've had nothing but positive experience. I would highly recommend them.

May 17, 2021

What aggravated me the most was that the person I spoke to when I made the appointment I told her that I wanted my immaculate degeneration checked and I wanted an eye examination she said that’s fine she also said what time to come in what to do when I got to the office I had to wait to get into my appointment because of the mistake they said that I only asked for an eye examination for glasses which was untrue but yet they sent me 10 reminders I think the problem isThat day hire people that do not pay attention when you are making your appointment. Next year when I make my appointment I am going to Ask to whom I am speaking to And make sure that there are no mistakes upon walking through the door and things will go smoothly

May 15, 2021

We are absolutely blown away by Dr. Lalin’s response to what we thought was an emergency situation. He came to the office to see my daughter on his day off. He assured my nervous teenager that she is in good hands, performed thorough testing and provided very detailed explanation of the issue and the next steps to addressing it.

May 12, 2021

All were pleasant and helpful

May 11, 2021

All staff members are professional and helpful. Received the most comprehensive exam I've ever had. Dr. Shah is lovely!

May 8, 2021

Great experience. Staff were professional and friendly. Exam was thorough.

May 8, 2021

All around excellent care.

May 1, 2021

You staff is very welcoming and up beat..See you in May

Apr 30, 2021

The in office wait is much too long and disrespectful to patients. I waited 1 1/2 hrs to see the doctor for 10 minutes. Also. The back room staff was cold and unfriendly.

Apr 26, 2021

I was very impressed with the personnel that took care of me.

Apr 25, 2021

The technician who did my exam was very concise in her explanations of the tests being done. Dr. Shah was professional but friendly. She listened to my concerns and answered all my questions in terms that were understandable to a layperson.

Apr 24, 2021

It made me want to come to your practice

Apr 23, 2021

Staff was friendly and professional. They were covid safe but most of all knew how to treat my eye problem.

Apr 18, 2021

Very professional and caring

Apr 17, 2021

I felt that I was in good hands right from my initial phone call. The staff was pleasant, welcoming and professional. I called on a Friday and after making my appointment for the following week, they had me speak to a tech to put my mind at ease for the weekend. I saw Dr. Lalin and he was kind, patient, and honest in answering my numerous questions. I would definitely recommend Retina Specialists of NJ.

Apr 17, 2021

Dr. Lalin’s and his staff was very courteous and professional. Dr. Lalin took the time to listen to my double vision ailment and was very patient. He also was in through in presenting a therapy treatment to correct my double vision. A very professional office I would recommend to anyone.

Apr 17, 2021

Excellent knowledge and care

Apr 15, 2021

Excellent care and advice.

Apr 11, 2021

Very impressed with all the staff --- very helpful and respectful, patient and kind (to an 84 year old woman). Dr. Lalin was very helpful and thorough in explaining how Macular Degeneration progresses as one ages.

Apr 8, 2021

Until the exam by Dr. Lalin I was incorrectly diagnosed with a macula hole, and it was Dr. Lalin who found the problem was a cataract.

Apr 3, 2021

Everyone is super nice and helpful! Really enjoyed my first visit.

Mar 27, 2021

Very professional - explains everything in understandable terms.

Mar 24, 2021

Great staff!! Everyone is very helpful and loyal with their service. I would definitely recommend this place!! I had appointment with Dr. Shah and she is awesome!!

Mar 23, 2021

Dr. Lalin is a wonderful doctor! The staff is super nice too.

Mar 22, 2021

Excellent care. Thank you. Five stars.

Mar 22, 2021

Dr. Sean is the best. I trust him and I feel very confident. It treats me with understanding of my case. I truly trust him with my eye care. He is the best.

Mar 22, 2021

Since I have been very satisfied, I have already referred a numerous amount (at least 7) of patients to Retina Eye Specialists. In one case many from a Hair Salon and another from a Religious Order are now patients of Dr. Lalin and Dr. Shah. It is a pleasure to recommend Doctors who are excellent in their field and have the utmost compassion for their patients; including a most caring staff showing respect and much kindness.. There is no reason not to share their expertise with others who mean so much to me making sure they get the right support and eye health medical coverage. Thanks to Drs. Lalin and Shah.

Mar 21, 2021

This was my first visit. I felt comfortable and the techs worked in a timely fashion and were attentive to my medical history and questions.

Mar 21, 2021

Very professional and courteous.

Mar 20, 2021

Always a wonderful experience , the staff is great and very helpful . Dr Lalin pays attention to his patients in every way . I’ve recommended him to many people and will continue to do so . He’s a dedicated doctor and takes care of his patients .... somewhat rare these days !

Mar 13, 2021

Everyone at Dr. Lalin's office is friendly and helpful. It is always a pleasant experience.

Mar 13, 2021

Dr. Lallin and his entire staff are wonderful. They have taken excellent care of me on every visit. Dr Lallin is a very skilled surgeon who I trust 100%. Each visit I’m treated with care and respect. I would highly recommend them

Mar 11, 2021

Everything was difficult. Making the appointment was difficult because rather than looking up if they took my insurance, they told me to speak with HR at my company to look it up. I was not told how much the visit would be, I was told to call back and ask to talk to billing. When I came for the visit the front office and the technician told me conflicting information on whether I should get the retina scan so I probably paid $39 for a service I didn't need. The technician was completely disinterested and I don't know why the appointment took an hour when there were no other patients around. I couldn't order my contacts the day of my visit because the staff was not there. It was also very difficult to pick up my contacts with such limited office hours on top of regular changes in office hours due to weather. I have no intention to come back.

Mar 10, 2021

Everyone in the office is kind, pleasant and friendly. The doctor and his medical staff are competent and so courteous.

Mar 8, 2021

Excellent and more thorough exam than I anticipated

Mar 8, 2021

I was treated by Dr. Shah earlier this week. She is fantastic and very knowledgable! I was also very pleased with the front desk administrator as well as the eye care technician.

Nov 13, 2020

Everyone was very nice and the doctor was great but I was not prepared to be at the office for 2 hours and feel that expectation should have been set in advance. Also I was extremely uncomfortable that I was put into at least 7 different seats in different rooms. With COVID it just overwhelmed me and I didn’t expect it.

Nov 13, 2020

Was able to get a timely appointment for an eye condition that came on suddenly. Doctor treated my issue and calmed my fears, very happy with my experience.

Sep 24, 2020

Dr Lalin and staff are exceptional. I would not hesitate to refer patients to them.

Sep 24, 2020

The reason I have trouble with recommending your practice to a friend or colleague is every time I have an appointment or a family member has had an appointment the wait is over an hour. I have been to other eye physician's office where the take you at the time of your appointment. I understand there are emergencies that can take extra time and can cause your schedule to run behind. But it seems to be every time. If you have an emergency then you should explain that to the patients waiting in the waiting room not wait for them to start complaining. Another suggestion is to tell the patients that have not arrived to come later. I work in the medical in a very busy Pediatric Cardiology office and understand how difficult is to run on time. I feel your staff is rude and does not try to help with the process of moving patients through the office. I will say that I once I was taken back to my pre-exam with the tech she was professional and curious. The physician was excellent. I also know that Dr. Lalin is a extremely talented surgeon. This is the only reason I have not changed practices. I will say I am thinking about. I am sorry to complain but, if you had a eye concerned and as a working professional could you afford to leave your practice or work to sit in a physician's waiting room when you know they are always running behind. Never mind the elderly who have other issues.

Sep 24, 2020

I’ve been going to Dr. Lalin for years ... I trust him completely ... his staff is compassionate, professional, and efficient ... especially in “Covid” times I felt completely safe during my entire exam ... and I was in and out in under an hour!

Sep 21, 2020

Easy to make appointment. Friendly staff, did not wait long to be taken care of.

Sep 20, 2020

I felt that the reception and Covid precautions were handled very well. The flow in the waiting room was handled well as was the flow through the facility during testing. Finally Dr Lalin and his assistant functioned very well in my exam and subsequent discussion. I felt that the appropriate time was given to my issue and I have further appointments scheduled prior to the surgery on my Cataract that I plan to have Dr Lalin fix.

Sep 18, 2020

Seven years ago Dr. Lalin saved the sight in one of my eyes. Have been seeing him yearly ever since. He is personable, professional, and gives me confidence that my eyes are in good hands.

Sep 14, 2020

The staff and the doctor were very welcoming, friendly and very knowledgeable. I was very happy with the customer service as well.

Sep 14, 2020

Love this doctor and his staff

Sep 11, 2020

It was my first experience in an eye doctor’s office in over five years. I was treated wonderfully by the entire staff. Even more so I was informed throughout the entire process and learned what tests where being performed. I left pleased and much more knowledgable about my eyes. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Sep 11, 2020

I highly recommend Retina and Eye Specialists to friends seeking quality eye care. I have been impressed with the professionalism of all staff members I've encountered and find all services I've used to be carried out in a competent and efficient manner. I was also very comfortable with the precautions taken for Covid.

Sep 9, 2020

Very friendly staff and made me feel comfortable while I was there. First time meeting Dr. Lalin and he was very professional

Sep 7, 2020

Everyone at the office was very professional and took all Covid precautions.

Sep 5, 2020

I was disappointed that I did not get a courtesy call to follow up after my treatment.

Sep 5, 2020

I have been treated for twenty years in New York, after retirement I decided to move treatment closer to home. I found a doctor Shaun Latin on Internet and after a visit to him I decided that this was the doctor I needed. He struck me as knowledgeable and experienced. in addition, he is extremely polite, ready to listen to the patient and answer all the questions that is, what you will not find in every medical office. His assistants also leave a great impression. I have visited the doctor only once, I really hope that the next visits will not disappoint me. So far I definitely recommend this medical facility.

Sep 3, 2020

I have total faith in the expertise of Dr. Lailin.

Sep 2, 2020

Very professional and thuro, would highly recommend

Sep 2, 2020

Went here on a recommendation from my GP for light flashes and was given a BS diagnosis, was made to believe i was going blind from an autoimmune disorder....Diagnosis was discredited by two other specialists i have seen since for a second opinion, and they cannot understand why i was given my (Mis)diagnosis by dr.lalin. I also felt as though my other health issues were disregarded by the doctor, since they conflicted with his diagnosis...Even after only meeting me once and having not looked at my medical history. Was flat out told “oh but it wouldn’t be ******* if it’s my diagnosis, so it’s not that.” Will not be coming back, nor do i recommend. Staff were neutral otherwise. Only upside i can find is that they’re taking covid measures well, which i appreciated.

Aug 31, 2020

I was tremendously pleased with the courtesies and professionalism of the entire approach. There is no aspect that I would change

Aug 31, 2020

I had an excellent experience at my eye check up. I am preparing for cataract surgery and had all of my questions answered to the level that I feel very comfortable that I am in good hands. Everyone in the office has been more than cooperative and helpful along the way. This is very much appreciated.

Aug 24, 2020

Aug 10, 2020

Aug 2, 2020

I’m a current patient went there for my yearly exam. I waited 90 mins and finally left without seeing the Doctor. Had my preliminary exam and then sat an hour in the waiting area without a word as to what was going on.

Aug 1, 2020

Retina & Eye Specialists of NJ was very organized and clean when I visited in July. All patients were screened prior to entering the waiting area. All patients were seated apart, and when someone got up, their chair was cleaned. All equipment used for my eye exam was freshly cleaned, almost done in front of me. Everyone had on a mask. Super thorough exam, I had some extensive questions about my 50 year old eyes, since Covid I'm on computer screens ALL day for work. Left with a lot of options and things to try. Moving my family over to this office.

Jul 31, 2020

Jul 4, 2020

writing the review on behalf of my mother who doesnt speak english. The front desk was the most distasteful encounter me and my mother have ever had. I work in healthcare & know how important it is to talk to patients kindly. This was not the case, the girl at front desk was rude, and did not seem to want to help us. She was annoyed when i asked why my mother had a copay with a regular annual, as i have not had that in my experience, according to her she “called” (i dont know who she called because it certainly was not the insurance company, as i could head everything she said) and confirmed she had a copay. Also, the fact that scripts “are not covered” by insurance and paying out of pocket should be explained to patients before-hand, the office was not busy enough where they couldnt have taken the time to explain, as when i was there another patient complained about the same thing on her way out. What if this was something that couldnt have been afforded?. Overall we were not pleased with the attention received at this office & will not return or recommend.

Jun 29, 2020

Dr Lalin was very professorial. Made me very relaxed even his jokes were funny the staff wonderful also very professorial also you don't find ALL this at many office very caring & RELAXING keep up the good work you will need another office soon

Jun 29, 2020

Very pleased with service.

Jun 29, 2020

during this pandemic, i was a little scared to go to the Dr., but they have taken all the precautions and keeping my mind at ease.

Jun 27, 2020

We've been experiencing so many other health issues lately that it was refreshing to get an eye exam with a dose of encouragement and confidence too. Wonderful chair side manner. Our thanks to the doctor and the wonderful staff.

Jun 25, 2020

I have already recommended a coworker to bring his family to your practice to see Dr. Lalin. Also referred a friend who will be calling.

Jun 22, 2020

Courtesy and knowledge of Dr. Lalin and his staff.
