    Dr Lau navigated around the challenge of my prior PCP sending incomplete records and offered assistance to follow up with that office. I've dealt with consistent issue for 40+ years and I believe Dr Lau has guided me to some changes in treatment that could finally lead to some resolution and prove quality of life

    My deceased parents were also patients at Optum. I hope my clinician has access to their medical records for issues that are influenced by genetics.

    Dr. Lau took time to look into Dr. Taagen's notes and other medical records which allowed him to provide more informed replies and recommendations and was reassuring in conjunction with an initial visit.

    Didn't even realize he could pull up related MyChart info from my last provider, just had to connect a few things for my past few years of treatment. Great time saver.

    Providing primary care ranging in topics from preventive medicine screening, vaccines, to routine illnesses such as simple coughs and flu.I also am trained in caring for complex Internal Medicine conditions. My mother had medical conditions that impacted our family when I was a child and the physicians who took time to explain and truly cared for her really touched my heart, and I want to give back to the community in the same way.

    Philosophy of care

    I view my relationship with my patients as a collaboration.I listen to the patient's concerns and I advise them of their options and what the current best standard of care is.
