Very satisfied. I scheduled with him simply because he is a newer physician to the area who has spent much time learning his craft all over the country. He is extremely polite, has wonderful manners & very friendly. I was perfectly at ease.
Took care of my horrible spine problems.. that have been overlooked by others. Expkains everything plainly n clearly. All went perfectly
Took the time to explain everything to me and answer all questions. Gave me my options and difference between the options.
First time visit with Dr. Lu. He did not listen when I was speaking. He told me something different from my neck MRI that Dr. Rineer stated. He was very sure and spent a little time listening to my symptoms. Referred me to Dr. Hoff. I was told by assistant that I do not make an appointment with Dr. Hoff. They will call me if I’m a candidate to be seen by him. So basically nothing was resolved with my neck issues
Fast maybe a little slower so I could answer his questions
Pleasant. Thorough. Informative.
Very very professional I’m so glad he’s my doctor
Dr. Lu is so caring, and answered all my questions. He’s an excellent surgeon; all my pain is gone. I appreciate his sense of humor too!
