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 K Lakdawala receives overwhelmingly positive feedback from patients who consistently praise his exceptional listening skills and genuine care for their wellbeing. Patients repeatedly emphasize that he takes his time during appointments, never rushes them, and makes them feel heard and valued. His compassionate, patient-centered approach is highlighted throughout the reviews, with many noting his ability to explain medical information clearly and include patients in treatment decisions. Patients describe him as thorough, professional, knowledgeable, and attentive, with several stating he is the best doctor they have ever had.

Patients also share
The reviews contain very few criticisms or areas for improvement. A couple of patients noted they were new to Dr. Lakdawala's care and needed more time to form a complete opinion, though their initial impressions were positive. One review simply described the experience as "adequate" without elaboration. The most significant concern expressed across multiple reviews is that Dr. Lakdawala is leaving his current position, with numerous patients expressing sadness and disappointment about losing him as their primary care provider. This transition appears to be related to a promotion or new role, as one patient mentioned he was promoted but offered to continue helping them.
