Twice I have written a lengthy response and somehow the software times out and it is lost.My visit with Dr. Lai was not good. I have much more that I could add. Not up to doing it a 3rd time.

Had a great experience with Dr. Lai. Very attentive and gave alot of input to my questions. The last general Dr. I had took months to get into and the staff was very rude. Dr. Lai's Nurse is amazing and I appreciate this doctors office professionalism. On my app I do not show Dr. Lai on my care team. The front desk tried to help, no luck.

It was a good experience and extremely peaceful, love the intake nurse and the doctor too. They were very nice, friendly and very respectful.
Providence Patient
Dr. Lai always takes time to answer my questions simply and doesn't just "brush me off" with some mumbo jumbo. He calls personally with any concerning test results or necessary medication changes and makes certain to explain why it is needed.
