The reviews listed below were collected independently of Shore Orthopaedic University Associates through rater8. Each review represents an authentic and verified patient experience.
I was impressed with Dr Lai the moment he walked thru the door. He was very welcoming and had such a friendly demeanor. He truly seemed compassionate about the pain I was experiencing. From the xrays and his examination, he determined the problems was not caused by my feet but rather my back. He referred me to his associate who specializes in the back.

I would give Dr. Lai 6 out of 5 stars if possible. He had an incredibly kind and reassuring demeanor and was highly intelligent and informative without being condescending or flippant. A complete gentleman that certainly cares very deeply about his patients. Would recommend his care to anyone!
