Dr. Lai has been my Retinologist since May of 2009. He's an excellent doctor. He has our utmost confidence. We have recommended him to a number of friends. He's has a gentle approach & easy to talk with. I've had 3 cases of retinal tears & Dr. Lai has done an excellent job of fixing me up. My husband, Lewis, is now one of his patients as well. We are extremely grateful to Dr. Lai for all he has done for us over these past 14 years. We think the world of him. We are so very blessed to have him as our Retinologist.
