A sincere thank you to Dr. Lau for consistently taking the time to address my questions and truly listen to my hesitations without judgment or pressure. Your patience, understanding, and willingness to have open, respectful conversations mean a lot as a parent. I appreciate his respectful dialogue on the HPV vaccine. Dr. Lau also provided a lot of validation and support when my child had to be referred to an ophthalmologist back in August. It makes a difference to feel heard and supported while making important decisions for my child's health. I'm deeply grateful for the care and compassion.
