I (patients mother) am a physician assistant and Dr. Lau is amongst the best provider encounters Ive ever experienced in my professional career or personal medical encounters. He epitomizes what every healthcare provider should strive to be. His ability to parlay his technical medical knowledge into laymans terms with such a caring bedside manner made my teen daughter feel included and empowered about her own healthcare condition, as well as allowing me to remove my medical hat and just be her mom in that moment. Although her results were on the benign end of the spectrum which in my experience can lead many providers to be rather dismissive, Dr. Lau was the exact opposite. With no prompting from us he went out of his way to give an extremely thorough explanation of her diagnosis, what findings would be concerning, and how we would continue to monitor her (including his own hand drawn pictures!) Our encounter with Dr. Lau is what every patient should experience every time they interact with the healthcare system. What a truly exceptional physician!9/12/2025 | BayCare Verified PatientDr Lau is so nice and easy to understand9/12/2025 | BayCare Verified PatientDr. Lau is a star.
