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.

Very kind and informative and thorough

Dr. Atwal is a very thorough cardiologist. She has educated me about my heart issues and has improved my health remarkably. The office staff are very nice and like Dr. Atwal, are very professional as well. I have called the office and have never been placed on hold for more than a couple of minutes. Although I have not been to other cardiologists, my experience with Dr. Atwal has improved my health and my life. If I could give her 10 stars I would!

I saw Dr Atwal at this practice (Laguna Beach office) and was talked down to, given only minutes of her time and repeatedly told to come back in for her another appointment if I wanted her to answer any the tests on the tests she had ordered. She then recommended a stress test, told me insurance would cover it (it did not), and then didn't even call me with the results. I called repeatedly, was finally told by front desks that it was "fine," and that I'd need to schedule yet another appointment
