Eric Jagan Bansal, MD

Dr. Bansal is one of just a few doctors in Los Angeles with special training in structural heart disease. After medical school, he earned three advanced degrees from two of the top heart hospitals in the United States. Adventist Health White Memorial feels like home to Dr. Bansal. His father has been a physician for 25 years, and Dr. Bansal remembers coming with him to White Memorial when he was a child. Dr. Bansal says patients with structural heart disease should never think that their problem is beyond help. “We are able to give advanced heart care even to patients who think they are too old or too sick for surgery,” he says.
Although a minimally invasive procedure is usually the best treatment, Dr. Bansal always keeps in mind what is best for each individual patient he sees. Sometimes, that means another approach, such as medication—or even no treatment at all. “I evaluate the disease process, where the patient is coming from and how they feel, and together we decide what is best for them in the long run,” he says.
Outside of work, Dr. Bansal enjoys working out, golfing, traveling and spending time with his wife. In addition to English, he speaks Spanish.
