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.
