    Dr. Lai and I do not communicate well with each other. This leaves some questions not answered well. I am not good at asking for clarification, Dr. Lai does not always ask for my inputs before making decisions.

    I will never go to Dr. Lai again. He basically said there was nothing wrong, referred me to get an OTC product that created the same dryness, referred me to an ENT when I had seen one already in October. Told me it looked like I had another appointment (which was still an hour times away) and said good bye. No after visit summary, nothing.

    Dr. Lai is great and includes me in my healthcare making decisions. He listens well and takes the appropriate amount of time with me.He can be a little difficult to understand because he talks kind of fast and is usually speaking while looking at his computer screen instead of looking toward me.

    Dr. Lai's accent and mask, and my faulty hearing, continue to slow down discussions.

Rated: 4.5 out of 5 stars (936 ratings)
