Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Very caring and knowledable regarding Alzheimers
We were fortunate to have my 95 yr old mother assigned to Dr. Lao. He was very patient and caring with her while testing her for Altzheimers. He explained what to look for in advancing symptoms. He provided reading material for me, as her daughter and care taker. He said to feel free to call him anytime I needed to explain my mother's actions. I called when she was having hallucinations. I called when she would talk to a doll or spoke with her mom or husband whom both have passed years ago. Dr. Lao explain to me about these episodes that unnerved me and explained how to react to these situations. He was so helpful and understanding. When my mother was 96, she attempted to get out of her hospital bed and fell on her face unto our tiled floor. After treated at ER, returned home, Dr. Lao set up in-home Hospice which was such a blessing for us. Her fall was in July, her condition of Latent Altzheimers worsened; she passed Aug 2021. I highly recommend Dr. Lao for your beloved elderly.
