    I appreciated how Dr. Lau treated my son with respect and patience. He answered all his questions like he was an important adult and validated his concerns. My 10 y/o son interrupted Dr. Lau a few times and he didn't flinch. Very friendly and calm.

    Please wear gloves when examining patients. Especially when doing a genital exam. Gloves were not worn during my child's genital exam. This was shocking to me. Especially as I'm a nurse and been a pediatric nurse for over a decade.
