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.

Open Minded, Caring, Good Listener and Fair
I took my mother in as a new patient to see Dr. Lao during some complex circumstances with her health and prior providers. He was willing to work with her around it all and absolutely wonderful. He came highly recommended by her friend. First visit , He was really focused upon my mother and what she shared, said, felt. He was open and fair when I addressed some concerns & questions that were outside the box. She adored him and has remained with him. He will always at least listen to what you wish to say or ask. Dr. Lao is not ego centric, he believes the patient knows their body too. He has taken careful and considerate steps in my moms care. We ( the family are all grateful for Dr. Lao's thorough and compassionate care for our mother. His staff is always wonderful and really work hard. They are competent, patient and on top of their game. It's worth its weight in gold to be able to trust your doctor and team. It's a happy 5 stars from us !
