Talking about Christopher Lau, M.D.

"Dr Lau and his team have taken the best and most thoughtful care of me. The triple bypass went exceedingly well and 4 weeks later, I am out and about! Dr. Lau is highly responsive, and the team has given helpful tips to do what’s needed to hit the new milestones in the healing process."
