Dr. Lalbahadur Nagabhairu, MD

I was told over the phone that they perform band ligation and I prepped and arrived thinking I might find some relief from painful hemorrhoids. Despite the fact that I was clearly in tremendous pain and distress, Dr. Lal made light of my condition and made his recommendation for surgery, ignoring my insurance concerns, specifically that insurance won’t cover surgery because it usually doesn’t work and it's not life-or-death. I was told I would be afforded a payment plan, and I was given a card and told to contact the scheduler. After 3 solid weeks of trying to reach the scheduler via telephone, email and text, I was forced to give up and find another GE to start the process over. Because of your poor bedside manner and heartless sadistic scheduler, I was forced to endure 2 more months of agonizing pain before I was able to get band ligation and find relief. The actions of Dr. Lal Nagabhairu and his staff were atrocious and I recommend finding another GE practice. I want my $90 back

Only interested in the $$$. He doesn’t listen or answer questions. He would prefer to do a bigger procedure than a simple procedure. He’s the worst excuse for a doctor. Stay away!

Had 2 experiences with Dr. Lal at The Villages Hospital, 10 yrs. apart. Ten years ago my 92 yr. old dad had a test done by Dr. Lal. We were told to wait in the waiting room for Dr. Lal to meet us with the results. Two hours later we found out he went home!! Never spoke with us!! Ten years later, Feb. 2021, my 94 yr. old mom had tests by Dr. Lal (TV Hospital told me that he is their only gastro dr. so I had no choice). Dr. Lal NEVER gave us the results of her tests. I contacted his office everyday for 3 weeks trying to get results or trying to speak with him. I just kept getting BS. Mom died without me ever knowing the results of her tests!!

Extremely rude and uncommunicative.

I would give zero stars but will not submit without one.The office staff are extremely rude and have no communication with inner office staff.I was given two complete diffrent stories by 2 diffrent office staff in same office same day.We waited over an hour to walk out after not being seen.They did not send an authorization to the primary for insurance to approve.We get to the visit and are turned away they needed to reshcedule.Then we are told we would be seen they had sent the authorization. I was on the phone with our primary and insurance nothing was ever sent.I was told I need to have patience the fax machine takes time. Lol The condisending attitude with the office manager was through the roof.I told him they could have called before we drove an hour.This was not the first time our appointment was canceled due to office mix up.There were no apologies I was just talked down to and treated terrible.I would not recommend this Doctor to anyone until he revaluates his office staff.

Fantastic doctor and nurses

Dr. Lal is incompetent, when after he performed surgery and there were serious issues with the surgery, he did not return emergency calls to his office. My husband passed away due to bleeding with in one week after surgery

Dr. Lal is a great GI doc. He is very skilled and provides the highest quality treatment.

Was pleasantly surprised by all staff from the front desk to the medical staff at my endoscopy. After procedure Dr. Lal came out and talked to me about the procedure and answered my questions. I was given written instructions on what to do at home and a report of what had been done. At follow up Dr. Lal explained the findings and answered all my questions to my satisfaction. Would definitely see Dr. Lal again if need be.

I read all these reviews before I went to see this doctor and almost didnt go. I'm glad I did. I did wait an hour for my appointment but they were moving right along and the waiting room was comfortable. The staff was friendly, competent and efficient. The doctor came in the room. Introduced himself and shook my hand. Asked me several questions, let me ask all the questions I needed to and examined me for my issue. I was happy with my visit and would recommend Dr. Lal

The worst doctor I have ever encountered

The good: Dr. Lal seems competent and the staff at the surgical center are very nice and seem competent. The bad: the waiting room in The Villages is dismal; the wait for the doctor is extremely long; the visit with him is VERY short and most of the time he is backing towards the door; you will NEVER get to speak to an actual person when you call; the voice messages you leave will not be responded to in a timely manner; if you need test results, be prepared to make numerous calls requesting the results and to wait a very long time to get them, even if you are in pain. This is my actual experience. No exaggeration. I finally had to get another doctor to obtain my test results from Dr. Lal's office in order to get surgery. As I told Dr. Lal's office, it is very evident that this business is a production line operation and patients are little valued.

The BEST DR. I have have ever seen ! Has treated me with Chrons for the last 10 Years ! Highly Recommend him !

Terrible. Would not even want to give one star. He is impatient nand doesn’t want to answer questions. Took too much money by almost $100 and his wife who runs finances n billing won’t take phone calls. Took 4 mos to have money returned and prob 8 or more calls. Sad and disappointing. Felt scammed. Also when I went in for synopsis of simple endoscopy, he was too busy and sent his anesthesiologist in to help me and could not answer my questions. Waited 3 hrs! Waiting room was beyond filled

Front office asks you to sign an electronic mechanism and will not tell you why. She says "trust me". When you call to ask questions, they tell you to leave voice mail. Two days later, still no response. After surgery doctors Operative Report says one prescription item but actual prescription called in to pharmacy is for another drug or item. Upon calling doctor, again told to leave a voice mail. No response. UGH! Regarding wait times. After waiting 40 minutes to see the doctor, he spent a tot

Disrespectful, nasty, unprofessional ,arrogant and argumentative. Never have anything to do with this Doctor, the worst Dr. I have every dealt with. If you ask questions he gets his back up and talks down to you. His staff couldn’t get a job at McDonalds and the wait time is anywhere from an hour to two hours.

At my first visit Dr. Lal was unprepared, despite making sure my PCP having sent all the pertinent paperwork to him. So he wasn't ready for me, and wanted to repeat tests,. He was rude when I brought this to his attention. His waiting room was filled to capacity and he acted rushed. I later saw his partner and liked him, but when I returned for a follow-up (making sure to schedule with the partner), I was switched back to Dr. Lal.

Very nice and compassionate doctor. He helped diagnose my Crohn's disease that I struggled with for several years. Saw a few GI's who diagnosed me with Irritable bowel after a lot of tests. Was losing hope when my friend who goes all the way from Daytona to see him , recommended him. I am happy she did. Never felt better since he started my treatment after he diagnosed me. Thankful for that to him. Recommend highly. Lal

I had complications after an endoscopy , I called his office& he never spoke w me. I was told to drink fluids, meanwhile had been perforated... Became very ill.. Almost lost my colon.

I dont know why everyone gets grouchy over a Dr. Office but the Dr. Telling you the correct information is what matters.
