Van La DO is a fellowship trained cardiologist, board-certified in internal medicine with a subspecialty in cardiovascular medicine. Motivated by a lifelong commitment to guiding patients toward better health, Dr. La empowers individuals to make informed decisions about their care.

Dr. La’s interest in cardiology was shaped by both personal family history and meaningful patient encounters that deepened her desire to better understand the heart. What truly sets Dr. La apart is her dedication to her patients. “I listen and I respect,” says Dr. La. Rather than rush through appointments, Dr. La spends extra time to provide clear, honest information about their conditions and treatment options.

In addition to English, Dr. La speaks three other languages (Cantonese, Mandarin, and Vietnamese) and is actively working to learn Spanish. She invites her patients to share Spanish words and phrases that may help her to improve communication with Spanish-speaking patients.

Dancing is one of Dr. La’s greatest joys and she loves walking and cruising with her partner. She encourages all patients to find a physical activity they genuinely enjoy and make it a regular part of their lives.

My experience with Dr. La is one that I will trust her with my life. She knows about the heart and everything and I understand that she knows about what's going on in my heart and prescribes what I need to have in order to sustain my good health. So thank you Dr. La for that and the staff was more than excellent. They treated me with respect and they just did a good job for me. Thank you for the staff. And every time I go in there, I'm ?

Said the doctor's nurse, needs a little bit more bedside manner. She's very good, but you're there for an appointment. You're kind of were rude. It would be nice to have a little bit more bedside manner. But she's good. Thank you.

Informative and professional

The young woman who works at reception and takes appointments was very rude and sarcastic, and she canceled my appointment. I had to go there myself and provide proof before they would even see me. Thanks to a woman who works in the office, they sorted things out and rescheduled my appointment, but it had already been canceled. They need to be more careful with their customer service, especially the people who handle appointments, scheduling, and all that. Thank you.

I can honestly say that this doctor was very thorough, very kind, and explained everything for me to answer the questions that I asked her. Also, her assistant was helpful too to tell me where to go for my appointments, where to go to have my blood work done. I would recommend this doctor definitely. She's a very good doctor and explained everything to me and I appreciated that. I left feeling that I had answers.

Dr. La is an exceptionally caring and compassionate cardiologist. She spent a remarkable amount of time reviewing my test results and thoughtfully addressing every concern that brought me to her office. Her calm, attentive manner made me feel genuinely heard and supported throughout the visit. It's rare to find a physician who combines deep clinical knowledge with this level of patience and personal attention. I highly recommend Dr. La to anyone seeking a cardiologist who truly invests in their patients and provides thorough, unrushed care. (PHI removed)

October 07, 2025
I really did like the way the doctor asked if I had any concerns towards the end of our session. But being a first-timer through a first-time situation like this, I felt like I needed more care and more explanation. And I felt like she had someone else take care of that instead of her, so I really didn't feel a connection with her.
