The best GI you can find. Diagnosed my kidney tumors at an early stage by noting suddenly elevated blood creatinine. saved me a lot of grief. Has served me and my family for over a decade.

Dr. Lai, in my view is an exceptional physician. i think her clinical ability is good as you can ask for. Just as importantly, Dr. Lai truly cares about her patients and wants to be a healer. with respect to the hypocratic oath, she is old school. The amount of time she spends with a patient is very generous and she is relatively on-time with respect to office visits.
