My recent two visits to Montgomery Cardiology were positive and reassuring experience. The combination of professionalism, compassion, inviting office and efficient care left me with a sense of confidence in my healthcare journey. From ease of scheduling my appointment, great office reception, professionalism displayed by the entre team, Dr. Shubir Sofat, Hanna, and Margie was 5 STAR.... I would highly recommend to anyone seeking cardiac care.

The staff at Montgomery Cardiology are all top-notch and very helpful, and he took the time to call me about a question I asked through the portal. I happened to be in Yosemite National Park, and was grateful for his expert advice about a significant climb in the high altitude, with my new finding. After a few careful tests, I feel VERY relieved that this new abnormal is 'my normal' and that we made sure I would be safe. My primary care doc was equally concerned, and I'm glad I can circle back to him with the results. I would recommend Sameer Sofat, M.D. and the practice whole-heartedly (pun intended).

Dr. Lal took the time to carefully review the detailed summary and test results I brought with me, listened attentively to my concerns, and answered all of my questions thoroughly. What impressed me most was that he did not rush the visit. He performed an echocardiogram after noticing a heart murmur, reviewed the results personally, explained his findings clearly, and developed a thoughtful plan for further evaluation with a nuclear stress test. Dr. Lal is knowledgeable, professional, patient, and compassionate. I left the appointment feeling informed, reassured, and confident that I am receiving excellent cardiovascular care. I highly recommend Dr. Lal and his team.

Dr. Urquhart has a significant dance background, and that was important to me. For me, it speaks to a respectful, holistic approach, not centered on pill pushing or popular thought, and an intimate understanding of the mind-body connection. She tested me thoroughly and diagnosed me accurately. I found her to be a critical thinker and compassionate. She was instrumental in finding me find the best surgeons. Her staff is fabulous. Remember it is a stressful job dealing with sick people day in and day out, and helping them get insurance coverage! Well, they deserve a trophy for all the hoops they have to jump through for emergency procedures these days. I feel as though I could not be in better hands.

This is a heart care facility and it is run by John Hopkins Community Physicians Heart Care. I know that you probably aren't supposed to comment about the decor in a doctor's office, but it was decorated for the holidays with warmth and whimsy. It really does take your mind off going in for a test. I am used to seeing my cardiologist, but he wasn't overseeing this test. The doctor I saw today was very nice. But, definitely not warm and comforting like Dr. Kumkumian. The technician who was also helping with the test was very nice too. She was very supportive. So, in summary, the office is a very efficient and professional heart care team. I recommend them for their care and expertise.
