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.

Not much was offered. No diagnosis. No treatment. Meh.

I would have put 6 stars but there's only 5!
Really personable and very knowledgeable. Very good explanation of my problem (extremely sore shoulders). He administered cortisone and after approximately 24 hours the severe pain is gone - what a relief - thanks Dr. Lau!

Caring, Compassionate, Results
Dr. Lau has been a pleasure to see. His care for his patients is unsurpassed except by the results we've seen. I broke my ankle and it appeared that surgery was going to be required. But in the weeks and months since seeing Dr. Lau, my conditions improved so much that my cast is now off, and no surgery was needed.

I would definitely recommend Dr. Lau to anyone
Although this was my first visit with Dr. Lau, he made me feel comfortable. I finally feel that he will help me figure out what’s causing my pain. He’s trying to figure out the root of the problem. I have confidence that finally I found a doctor that will help resolve the issues to my pain. He explained to me in detail exactly what he plans to do. He’s kind and was patient with me, making sure I understood his concerns and what he recommends me to do first before even looking at surgery. I am grateful and confident that he will be the one to help me find the solution to the pain that I’ve been suffering with since 2016. I Believe in him. I would recommend him to family and friends. Thanks Dr. Lau.

Excellent surgeon you hope you don't need to see!
Dr Lau is an excellent surgeon. He is thorough and takes the time to answer my many questions. Three months ago I had a very broken leg and I am now clearly on my way back to "normal." His positivity and knowledge helped motivate & guide me along the way.

Excellent Experience
Dr. Lau agreed to meet virtually as I live on a different island. He came to the meeting well-prepared and left me feeling cared for and appreciated as a customer. He provided excellent examples and we had an insightful and in-depth discussion about my needs. I appreciated his attention to detail, patience, and thoroughness throughout the meeting and highly recommend him as a skilled and high-quality Orthopedic Surgeon.

Very thorough and patient
Any time a doctor sits down with you and goes through all your scans and reports and can tell you something about your previous medical history, you know you have a good doctor. Doctor Lau did that with me and helped me understand my situation and what I can expect after surgery.
