It would have been nice to know any side effects. I should have thought to ask too. There was really only one option provided for us besides surgery, so it was hard to include us in the decision because we didn't know exactly what was going on.

I really liked Dr. Lau he is extremely knowledgeable and explained everything very well.I had switched to a new doctor because our previous one was very quick and short when explaining and did not do a good job helping us understand. Glen was the opposite and extremely helpful and patient with our questioning.

They all did a great job of explaining things in layman terms the way I needed them and explained. And upon release took steps to helping me set up a follow up appointment here in my hometown for my son.

Excellent bedside manner. Appreciated the way he spoke to both my son and I. He made an awkward situation bearable and Ive had so many negative interactions with physicians-the entire experience was refreshing.

we were very impressed that though this is a condition the doctor probably sees frequently he was very respectful of the fact that this is our baby and the first time we've dealt with it.

I felt like we were a team working together to do what is best for my child's health and well-being, not only now, but continuing into her future. Dr. Lau's explanations were crystal clear and all of my questions and concerns were validated and answered. Dr. Lau was also very relatable and realistic.
