Insurance listings are subject to change without prior notice.
Please call your physician's office or your health or insurance plan to verify coverage information prior to scheduling your visit or procedure. Not all members participating in contracted networks have "in network" access. In network participation may change from time to time without prior notice. Independent providers (which could include, for example only, anesthesiologists, radiologists, pathologists, emergency medicine physicians, advance practice professionals, and other independent providers of health care services) may deliver part of your care, and such providers may be considered out-of-network on your health and insurance plans even if the Facility may be considered in network. If you desire additional information as to the providers who may be involved in providing your care, you can either ask your treating provider (who may know some of the specialists or groups who could be involved) or you can request a list of Facility-based physician groups by calling the following toll free number: (877) 810-0372. This list is updated annually and is subject to change without prior notice.
Please contact your provider to confirm if your insurance is accepted.

Patients appreciate
Dr. Malcolm Lakdawala receives overwhelmingly positive reviews from patients who consistently praise his exceptional listening skills and the time he takes with each patient. Reviewers repeatedly emphasize that he makes them feel heard, doesn't rush appointments, and includes patients in healthcare decisions. His compassionate and caring nature stands out as a defining characteristic, with patients describing him as genuinely concerned about their wellbeing. Many appreciate his ability to explain medical conditions and treatment plans in understandable terms, and several note his calm, professional demeanor that puts patients at ease. His thoroughness in addressing health concerns and follow-through on promises are frequently mentioned. Multiple patients describe him as the best doctor they've ever had, and several express sadness that he is leaving his current position.
Patients also share
The reviews contain very few criticisms or areas for improvement. Two patients with lower ratings mentioned they were new to Dr. Lakdawala's care and didn't have enough experience yet to provide a complete assessment, though both indicated their initial visits were positive. One review simply stated "Adequate" without elaboration. These represent the only neutral feedback among an otherwise unanimously enthusiastic patient base, and none of the reviews identify specific problems or concerns with his care.
