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.

Truly caring and dedicated pediatrician
Dr Lau was our family pediatrician for so many years. He has always been available to treat our kids (who are now adults). There was a time when my kid was sick on New Year’s Day and he came into his office, manning the phones, seeing patients and calling in scripts on his own. That’s only one example. It’s rare to find a doctor with that level of care these days

Dr. Lau is amazing with our little kids, right from birth. He listens, gives advice in a gentle way, and provides information. The office is tidy and sanitary. Making an appointment is easy and we are always seen right away when a child isn't feeling well.
