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]
Dr. Lau is absolutely amazing! We are so grateful for his work and dedication to his patients. He helped our son and was so kind! He has wonderful bedside manner and is very knowledgeable in his work. We highly recommend him to anyone!
Excellent doctor, very professional, always clarifies all doubts about the procedures and solutions with our son. [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!
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.
He explained in a simple and quick way that I could understand what steps to follow with my daughter.
Dr Lau answered all of our questions thoroughly and without rushing. He provided valuable education and made my child feel comfortable.
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.
is good, he follow our case and improve good attention .
Very knowledgeable and experienced. Listens to concerns and answers all questions
Dr. Lau is fantastic! He was very nice and attentive to our needs
Excellent and very professional [TRANSLATED]
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.
Un doctor súper amable y muy profesional en su trabajo nos explicó todo muy bien y trato de lo mejor a mi hija
Dr.Lau gave clear explanation.
es un doctor muy amable y nos explica hasta que, no tengamos ninguna duda
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.
Siempre el doctor Glen es muy amable y se preocupa que nosotros como papas entendamos y comprendamos todo sobre los pasos a seguir
We love Dr Lau he was very calm, informative and nice. Would highly recommend.
He is an amazing doctor and I feel blessed to have him taking care of my kids.
A great doctor
Dr. Lau was very understanding. He made sure to explain everything to my child and I as he went through all of the results, he listened to my concerns and provided medical help witch resulted in my child, having relief.
Thank you for your help it was nice to know my son will get the care he needs.
Connected personally with my 15 year old son which would not be easy for some. He spoke to him directly and included him in decision making. Very approachable and answered questions in a courteous, non-condescending way
Our experience was primarily poor due to Dr. Lau not explaining what he would be doing in his exam of my son before he did it. I believe the physical care provided, though, was proper. Our experience would have been much better if he had simply said, "I will be doing X, because X, it's okay in this situation because X." In doing it blindly without informing me, it caused panic, misunderstanding, and apprehension. Bedside manner goes a long way. All procedure should be thoroughly explained to the patient or parent/guardian before acting upon a procedure.
Very professional, courteous, informative and positive about the outcomes from consultations, exams, surgery's and follow-ups.
Dr. Lau took the time to explain to my grandson what things he might need to do and let [NAME REMOVED] ask questions which Dr. Lau took the time to answer and make sure my grandson understood the answer.
Dr. Lau is the best! Handing our child over to have surgery is not an easy thing but Dr. Lau made us as parents so comfortable and confident in her care. He also made sure we had all our questions answered and took his time. Thank you!
Freaking awesome!
Dr Lau is an excellent dotctor that cares about his patients. Is clear that he likes his job because he goes above average when it comes to knowledge and caring for his patients.
Un Doctor muy paciente y amable y claro en todo momento al explicarnos
Es un excelente Mdico muy atento y responsable en su Labor. Responde e explica claramente las dudas que tengas
He is a great doctor and really cares.
Dr. Lau was professional and thorough in explaining our options moving forward. He was also understanding of my daughter's fear to undergo the surgery and recovery.
He made sure to explain step by step what would be done and what our options were for care. He also made sure to answer any of my questions along with giving me the info to contact him incase I have more.
Dr. Lau explained the test results well showing us what each thing meant and answered our questions. He was clear in how we will proceed for the next few months and what to watch for until our next visit. I'm grateful that he is watching my child carefully but not doing unnecessary tests.
Dr Lao was amazing. He took the time to explain everything to us and gave us a plan to follow. He also explained next steps if things progress. We left feeling confident with our daughters health decisions and knowing what to do if things progressed.
Son sper atentos amables
He was great with helping us know the reasoning behind his decisions for the plan of care for our child and then allowing us to make the final decision based on that reasoning. He also took the time BEFORE evaluating the situation himself to listen to what I had to say about the situation and took that into consideration.
We received excellent care!
Very impressed by his bedside manner and skill as a physician. He explained matters in a way that was very clear to my 11 year old and myself.
50 minutes late
Glen Lau was able to identify what was the cause of our daughter's infections, and he knew exactly how to fix the problem. Two years later everything seems like it was successful.
He's great :)
Helped me to understand my child's need of care and listen to my concerns
Great visit and with great news
Provider was very helpful.
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.
dr. lau was awesome!
Disappointed with the proposed treatment, but willing to try it before more invasive decision.
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.
Dr. Lau was amazing with Axel. Explained everything to him in detail and in relatable words for an 8 yo.
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.
Best surgeon- warm bedside manor, explains things well, simply & easy to understand. surgery went great. recovery was easy.
The patient was struggling with side effects from the medication and the doctor listened and adjusted the meds as needed.
the doctor that saw us literally drew the issue on the board and explained everything in detailed in laymens terms so I could understand. Great service!
