Patient Reviews
Oct 13, 2023
I have worked in healthcare for 20+ years and I cannot thank Dr. Lai enough. I was seeing one of his partners who was concerned that I had developed a blood clot. Instead of sending me to the ER spending hours waiting for a test, he was able to perform a DVT test on the spot. Those results were immediately relayed to his partner, who was treating me, and I got a medication to treat it the same day. I have RARELY seen a primary care office operate that effectively and efficiently as I did today. Thank you for all your help.

Board Certifications
What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?

A board certification represents a provider’s dedication to ongoing training in one or more specialties, including the completion of intensive exams. While not all specialties have board certifications, if your provider does have one they’ve taken the extra step to master their specialty and to keep up with the latest advancements in their field.
