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....

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.

I'm just so grateful that the way he treats his patients with good medicine, compassion, always checking in to make sure one is responding to treatment is truly amazing. His staff are very professional, his clinic is very clean. Once you arrive, they make you feel special , while you wait for a brief moment... no delays. On my last visit , his staff on the lower floor had to go the extra mile to add me to be seen because I missed my appointment by one day. Her name is Brenda( Nurse). That's outstanding customer service. Thank you so much to the Scientists who carry out stress tests... at this clinic. Dr. John and others. When an IV line was needed, there was a very hilarious nurse in the department... she was so sweet and knew how to reassure a grown woman with a needle phobia... I dislike needles This office in Rockville is 1100% the best. Say thank you to the Cardiac Associates of Rockville. I'm very grateful to God for using Dr. Micheal Chen to save my life. LA

This top practice is exceptional; my only beef: the phone tree and crazy waits for appt folk or to get through to office. Highly recommend!

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.
