Patient Reviews
Jul 08, 2025
Dr. Lau was incredible! After a lot of doctor hoping, I was referred to Dr. Lau to explore a possible Ehlers Danlos Syndrome diagnosis. The first things he said was, 'I'm not an expert in EDS, but I know I can point you in the right direction.' I appreciated his honesty. He spent the first 15 minutes just listening to my history. He let me talk and he listened so carefully and asked very pertinent questions. He was so kind and caring. He even wanted to follow up on a previous medical issue I had that was dismissed by ER doctors. He did point me in the right direction. I am so thankful for my appointment with Dr. Lau.
