Dr Lu is fantastic. He is so thorough, patient and informative. He explained all the complications and upcoming procedures so clearly and is great at educating patients leaving us with brochures to better understand the process and future surgeries/options. He’s very honest and takes time to answer all questions. He is truly the BEST.
