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.

Dr. Lau is the ideal role model of all doctors.
My husband recently has the pleasure of being a patient of Dr. Lau, and my husband and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking a compassionate and knowledgeable hepatologist. Dr. Lau always takes the time to listen to patient's concerns, thoroughly explained patient's condition, and answered all patient's questions with patience and clarity. His bedside manner is truly exceptional, and I felt like he genuinely cared about my husband's well-being. I am incredibly grateful for the care and attention my husband received, and I know my husband in the best hands with Dr. Lau.

Dr. Lau is better than excellent.
Dr. Quan Lau and his surgical team gave me great medical care at Atlanticare City Division. His office staff is also lovely and helpful. They always ran on time for my appointments, very respectful. Highly recommend him for surgery and treatment and I am considered a very high risk patient with a diffibulator. Thank you Dr. Lau and team, I feel so much better now.

Dr. Lau is Amazing!
I had to be rushed into surgery on June 23, 2024 for a Cholecystectomy (Gallbladder removal) and everything went well. I appreciate his work and how kind and professional he was during this entire process. I'm 80% healed and my incisions look great. Dr. Lau does GREAT WORK and I am so pleased with how everything turned out!

Pancreatic Surgery to remove lower endocrine tumor
The whole process discussed in understandable detail. Surgery went well , and he even follows through with room visits after surgery. Very friendly and his staff Ebony is great also. I am coming up my 5th year as a Pancreatic Cancer survivor , with no further issues since the surgery in Oct. 2019.
