My first visit with Dr Lai
I was very impressed
I don’t know if anyone has mentioned this but they gave me an insert for my shoe to try. They put a blue sticker on it and the blue came off on the ball of my foot. Can’t get it off as yet. For $48 I should think it would be better than that.
Just thought I would mention it

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.
