Joel Lardizabal, MD

Found him to be rude and condescending at a time when we needed him to be just the opposite.

I left his office in tears, horrible bed side maner, that out weighs any medical advise he could offer.

Horrible service! Not only have I had to wait three weeks to get my results due to the Doctor being on vacation but now they are rescheduling me less than 24hrs for an additional three weeks. The office staff, has no compassion. These results and diagnosis have put my life already on hold. As I need them to be able to get my drivers license back and resume work or get on disability. Its an out rage. Wont even give me a callback. Lets remember that this office does have a cancellation policy for patients but are refusing to adhere to it.

This doctor is extremely hard to reach in the event of an emergency. He is unresponsive to patients and very sarcastic when he does respond. I would not recommend him to anyone looking for a cardiologist!!

Staff was professional despite very busy office. Central Coast is a medical wasteland, so there are not many choices of providers here. You are better off going to a bigger city of you definitely have heart problems. Dr. Joel was efficient, but definitely not a people person. Seems like a mill, more about billing insurance as much as possible. Says few words, no eye contact. My impression is that there are paid reviews on this site, def not a 5 star practice.
