Patient Reviews
Oct 07, 2025
I’ve been an impatient of Dr. Lu’s for about five years and I find them to be very thorough and pleasant. Had a surgery with him about four years ago, which went very well. This time while he examined me and read the MRI reports it doesn’t help that my toes in both of my feet are numb. Nothing was done about that.
