  Although Dr. Lale did find my problems with my heart, and the surgeon repaired and bypassed my blockages, my second visit after surgery with this doctor was abysmal. He did not ask how was feeling or how I was doing. Dr. Lale does not care that I have lost 75 pounds, have dropped from pants size 48-50 to a 36-38. Shirt size dropped from a 3X to XL. Dr. Lale said this surgery should have been a wake up call. I think I had already awakened. He jumped on one issue that I had with diabetes, and he did not listen to all of the facts that I was trying to give him. I checked my sugars today and it was 113 at 6:30 pm AND I FORGOT TO TAKE MY MEDS THIS AM! He pushed his agenda of a no meat diet; totally different than a doctor less than 50 feet from his office in the same building. He believes his research proves vegetarian is the way to go. I have done much research, and hold a doctorate myself. You can find any research to justify your position anywhere online. I told Dr. Lale that I felt that he was condescending and judgmental since the first time that I had visited him. Again he did not listen. Dr. Lale feels that i have been negligent; although, I started checking on my heart status years ago with NORMAL results...way before I met him. I have had every artery scanned with Lifescan.... All resulting NORMAL. I was just as surprised as he was that I had such blockages with almost no symptoms. You try to explain things to him and he gets confused, and he says oh "I've only known you since last October." The man would not accept that I questioned him, nor did he accept that I challenged him. He would not give me the right to be upset or angry with him, and refused to see me again. I had a wonderful experience with his assistant who took my blood pressure and EKG; which were both normal. I had a normal sinus rhythm and a blood pressure of 129/74. I will be seeking another cardiologist at The practice which was responsible for the success of my surgery. I do not advise anyone to see Dr. Lale. He may be outspoken about his opinions, but he does not know how to talk to people. He does not know how to praise them for successes while gently leading them to a better lifestyle. There is no way this same doctor could do what I did this past summer for work! He could not have kept up with my activity. He will die on his motorcycle (he has 2) before I die of a heart attack!
