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.

Wonderful
I have seen Dr Lu for 4 years and highly recommend him. He is both patient and decisive and I’ve never felt rushed in his office. He listens to my concerns and acts with empathy and a lot of experience.

I began seeing Dr. Lu late in 2018 after enduring recurring skin infections on my face and foot along with 10+ years of battling eczema. Within 5 minutes, Dr. Lu had a comprehensive treatment program that required around-the-clock treatment. I was hesitant at first because it was a lot to do on a daily basis, but everything he has recommended has been extremely helpful. He calls/sends messages after hours to check on how I'm doing and is very confident in all of his decisions.

I struggles with a condition for almost 40 years. He was the first medical professional to correctly diagnosis and treat me, resulting in complete symptom remission. I can't recommend him enough.

Dr. Lu was rude and arrogant. One of the worst bedside manners I have ever experienced and very unprofessional. I would not recommend him to anyone. Seek another provider.

Anyone who wants any spots-sun spots, age spots, etc., removed from his/her face should stay as far away as possible from Dr. Lu. I had two procedures done by Dr. Lu to clear such spots and ended up not only with many more spots, but darker permanent ones. I have tried creams and peels since Dr. Lu's procedures, but to no avail. Saying that I am disappointed is an understatement; I now loathe looking at my face and regret everyday for trusting Dr. Lu and seeing him not only once but twice.

I highly recommend Dr. Lu...in fact, I have done so a number of times. He is caring, compassionate, and knowledgeable. He is soft spoken and humble, and makes you feel comfortable during examinations. He is care to explain what he sees and answers any and all questions you might have.
