Save your time. I really don't feel like writing out this review but to keep it short, he did a septoplasty on me to try and fix breathing issues, was still having issues after the surgery and Dr. Lai was incredibly dismissive and basically just denied my issues. 'You are too young to be having this' 'You are too young to be having this' 'Come back in 6 months and if you are still having problems then MAYBE I will consider another surgery.' Got a doctor in Pittsburgh, had a consultation, and that doctor performed a second su... read more

Dr. Lai has been my daughter’s neurologist treating her multiple sclerosis. Throughout the years, he has been very upfront and transparent with us. My daughter was diagnosed in her junior year of high school. Many neurologists later, who were cold and absolutely without empathy, we lucked out with Dr. Lai. As the disease has progressed, as it will, he has always expressed his advice as to what is within his realm of expertise and continues to monitor her though she now needs advanced care. We have referrals and continue the ... read more

While the one and only time we actually met the Dr on the day of my kiddos surgery he seemed pleasant, the way this office and practice are run is abysmal. I tried setting up payments for our balance and was told someone would get back to me. Weeks and weeks passed and I heard nothing. Got a call today that the reason it took so long was bc my kids info had been compromised in a hack, but the 'office manager' had already sent our account to collections bc too much time had passed and we have 2 weeks to pay it. With so many o... read more

Talked for a few explained what he would do to her mole, ear ect. Told her she wouldn't want to itch it But left a bad scar and her insurance apparently isn't covering it so what a mess. Should have sent me somewhere else.

Dr Lai made many disrespectful and rude comments that were completely unprofessional.

This was the worst experience I've ever had. He basically told me to shut up and use a different ear drop and to feel free to see another Dr. I wouldn't recommend this Dr to my dog let alone another human being.

I would leave zero stars if possible. Dr. Lai performed a septoplasty to fix my nose for headaches, which I believe now the surgery was not needed. After a few years I went back for an issue with my throat, he didn't even look at my throat, instead decided to look in my nose (because he did a surgery to it) and chalked it all up to allergies. Not only did I sit in his waiting room for almost an hour, and then the patient room for another 15 minutes to only get less than 5 minutes with him, he didn't care about the issue I ha... read more

I have only seen the doctor twice, usually his PA, Jill. While his receptionist is phenomenal, his nurse lacks entire care and approach. She's cold and unwelcoming and forwardly rude. The doctor has a tendency to ramble on about a lot of things not related to your care and will talk through you. He is openly an anti-masker, which poses a threat to immunosuppressed people like myself.bI have severe sinusitis and I have been pushed to have them scraped continually, something that I have refused it every appointment. "No" does ... read more
