Dr. Lau is an excellent doctor. We are very pleased with the outcome of our daughter's surgery. We highly recommend.
Dr. Lau and his team were incredible. They explained everything well, took extra time, and every interaction has been helpful and made my kid's life easier.
Dr. Lau treated my teenage son with respect and dignity, listened to his concerns, answered his questions, explained his options, and involved him in the decision making. Especially helpful, was reinforcing the prevention plan outlined by nephrology, and outlining the short-term and long term plans for collaborative follow up between departments. Dr. Lau gave my son hope for a positive outcome, and encouragement in his ability to manage and improve his health with the combined support of his family and his care team. We left feeling empowered to navigate the journey ahead knowing we had an actionable game established.
Very attentive and very professional [TRANSLATED]

Doctor Lau is amazing! He preformed surgery on our son. And we were put at ease with his great explanations and patience with any questions or concerns we had. He has great bedside manner. I would go back to him in a heartbeat!
Excellent doctor, very professional, always clarifies all doubts about the procedures and solutions with our son. [TRANSLATED]
As a concerned mother, I highly recommend booking with Dr Lau as he is a professional not only in his field but also in quieting any concerns and anxieties you may have in regards to your child. He was very kind and took time to explain anything about my son's procedure that I did not understand or feel comfortable with. I have 100% confidence in his ability to execute my son's surgery with precision and care. If the need may ever come up again, I will definitely be hoping to have him as my kids doctor.
Dr. Lau was amazing both times we brought our son to him. He is kind and you can tell that he genuinely cares and wants to help. Our son is usually very bashful with strangers, but opened right up to Dr. Lau. Dr. Lau was very informative and explained everything very well to us. We highly recommend Dr. Lau and his staff.
Dr Lau answered all of our questions thoroughly and without rushing. He provided valuable education and made my child feel comfortable.
He explained in a simple and quick way that I could understand what steps to follow with my daughter.
Dr. Lau was awesome with our sons. Our son that was there for the appointment is normally shy and won't even look at people he doesn't know. But, from the moment Dr. Lau walked into the room, he was smiling and talking to him. Dr. Lau took the time to explain everything very well and was very pleasant to work with.

Very knowledgeable and experienced. Listens to concerns and answers all questions
Dr. Lau is fantastic! He was very nice and attentive to our needs

Dr Lau was very professional and friendly. He told me the fancy medical terms, but then immediately explained it in a way for me to easily understand.
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.
