Meet Dr. Lal

Q. What sets GIC apart from other practices in the area?

A. I have a genuine concern for the health and comfort of my patients. Compassion is what drives me to provide the finest quality gastrointestinal care available in the area. I have been serving area residents at my practice, Gastro-Intestinal Consultants, for over a decade.

Q. What is your philosophy concerning patient care?

A. One of the most important things I do is get to know my patients. I believe in treatment as a whole when it comes to their care. I feel that the time I spend in getting to know them is crucial in making a proper diagnosis of their illness. I am meticulous in my examinations and find it of paramount importance to make the correct diagnosis, which in turn leads to the proper treatment.

Q. What services do you provide?

A. I offer a broad range of gastroenterology services with an on-site, state-of-the-art lab in my main office. I am also skilled in endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), which assists in diagnosing problems in the bile duct and pancreas. I perform on-site radio frequency ablation (RFA) for

Barrett’s esophagus and the early stages of esophageal cancer. I also offer colon cancer screening, upper endoscopy, colonoscopy, and flexsigmoidoscopy, among other things.

Q. What are your credentials?

A. I received my medical training at Gutner Medical College in India. I performed my residency training in internal medicine at Our Lady of Mercy Medical Center in New York and completed my gastroenterology fellowship at the Henry Ford Medical Hospital in Detroit, Michigan. I opened my practice in Mount Dora in 2002 and invite you to come visit me and my staff at Gastro-Intestinal Consultants.
