Bernard Lau, MD

Great experience. Down to earth, answers all my questions and nice sense of humor.

I went to see dr. Lau specifically to discuss with him my daughter's developmental delays. When I booked the appointment I asked the receptionist to note the file that this was the main reason that I was coming in to see him. Having seen the note he probably anticipated that the meeting would not be a regular ordinary Pleasant meeting. This had to have affected his attitude because from the second he walked through the door he was nothing short of impatient and downright rude to both my husband and myself. Anytime my husband and I tried to ask a question he would cut us off. He basically just referred us to early intervention, refused to comment any further and said allow them to do their job and allow me to do mine. I am a paralegal and so I understand getting right down to the facts with someone however when you choose a doctor especially a pediatrician you expect them to be sensitive to the child and the parents of that child. Dr Lau really needs to retake courses in sensitivity… training I will never take my child to see him again and I don't recommend him

The nastiest doctor I have ever met. I came in with questions regarding my daughters health issue and the man told me that it was not his problem. Aside from the fact that he was visibly annoyed that he had to see us and made sure we knew that. Not sure why anybody would take their child to see someone who doesn't take their health seriously. Will be getting a different doctor.

Where to start......Makes you wait 2 hours to be seen for your scheduled appointment is the norm here. Doesn't take questions seriously, and dismisses any info pertaining to your child. The worst experience with any doctor, let alone a pediatric one.... Highly DON'T Recommend

This doctor was very rude, he has horrible bedside manner, he does not know how to deal with human beings. During my visit he was rude to me, his office staff, and other patients. He seemed very disinterested in what I was saying as a patient, was more interested to get in and get out of the room as soon as possible.

I always have a wonderful experience when seeing Dr. Lau. It is obvious that he loves children and his advice is always helpful.

Waited over 2 hours to see this doctor. Saw him leave the room next to ours then go to the doctor lounge. Heard him talk for 20 plus minutes to another doctor about CARS. I went to the front desk twice to let them know I could hear him and that our appointment was 2 hours ago. He was VERY RUDE and HAD A BAD ATTITUDE. Then we he finally decided to see us he said we needed to see a specialist. I thought he was a doctor. I would not recommend this doctor to anyone. I would give zero starts if I could.

I happen to think Dr. Lau is one of the best pediatricians I have taken my daughter to. He has a quirky sense of humor which I thoroughly enjoy because I feel like I am talking to a regular person, not a Dr. who feels or acts like they are "holier-than-thou". He has always spent a decent amount of time with us at appointments and never made us feel rushed even though I know a pediatrics office can get crazy - especially a large one like Stony Brook.

Ok so his bedside manner is terrible he speaks down to parents and actually made me feel like i was an idiot. He misdiagnosed my son and sent us home. my motherly instincts kicked in and i went to er and we were admitted for 3 days!! He gives long winded answers to questions not giving a straight answer!

Dr. Lau is an amazing doctor. He spends a lot of time with me whenever I am there with either of my children. He doesn't rush me out, and never makes me feel like I've asked a silly question. He teaches me how to take care of my sick child, and explains the logic behind all the advice he gives. I've learned so much over the years that I've been bringing my children to see him, like how to minimize the chances of my sick child getting worse, and when antibiotics are not needed, and he even explains possible side effects and how to avoid them! I give him an A++++++
