Dr. Lau was very flexible about seeing me late on a Friday night to accomodate my schedule. She's very thourough in terms of taking medical history and explaining her recommendations - however, her bedside manner is just a little bit cold.

Dr. Lau took her time with me and answered all of my questions in great detail. She was easy to get along with and was very thorough--I felt like I was being well taken care of, and I would definitely recommend her. Only thing--wouldn't advise going if you're in a rush as I had to wait for about an hour. I think it was worth the wait, though.

Dr. Lau took into consideration every aspect of the symptoms I described to her. Nothing seemed insignificant to her and then explored all the reasons I might be feeling the way I do. She was patient and thoughtful. I'd highly recommend her, especially to anyone who tends to avoid doctors. I wish they were all like her.

Waited for 30 minutes for her assistant Joanne to come out and see me, despite the receptionist having called her as soon as I arrived. Took another 40 minutes for the doctor to see me. Doctor is fine, but they should something about schedules.

Dr Lau was super nice - she reviewed my situation and symptoms thoroughly, then outlined exactly what additional diagnostic steps she thought we should take and what her reasons were for suggesting them. I felt that my concerns were taken seriously, that I was treated with dignity and compassion and that she went out of her way to explain everything clearly to me.

EXCELLENT! She was thorough, professional, kind, and patient. She took a formal history before taking me to the exam room, took time to explain the process of the exam, and in her recommendation afterward took the non-invasive route and explained her prescription in detail. She even got on Google to search for a particular kind of pharmacy for me, and called two places to make sure they'd have what I needed. Her assistant was also kind and I was seen promptly. I DEFINITELY recommend Dr. Lau!

Here's the deal. I came back from France with this stomach issue that was new to me. I had an appointment with my primary care doc for Friday (today) but he called to cancel saying he couldn't see me until Monday. I was bummed and scared about going through the weekend not knowing what was going on. I found ZocDoc by doing a search for gastro-enterologists in NYC and remarkable found that there was a Dr Nancy Lau with available time to see me today (Friday). I researched her and came away pleased. The office visit was great. She's knowledgeable and communicative with information and responds to questions thoroughly. She set me up for an endoscopy for next week and talked (after taking a look at me) about what I can do to help myself in the meantime. Glad I found her and I have no idea how ZocDoc does what they do but they are bookmarked now - I'll tell you that.

Dr. Lau is incredibly thorough and clear. I never felt rushed and she listened patiently to everything I had to say. Definitely felt comfortable talking to her and felt confident that she had a plan for helping me. I also liked that she wanted to do tests before shoving a prescription at me, which happens a lot.

Glad that I found her. She took time to do a proper physical examination, during which she found thyroid issues which were confirmed by blood test. She also referred me to an excellent endocrinologist for the same issue. She looks at the whole body perspective, and specialist doctors with this attitude are rare in my experience.

Dr. Lau was wonderful! My consultation was the most thorough I have ever had by a doctor in NYC. She listened to my issues and asked many questions to assess my situation. Then she proceeded to draw a diagram of my problem and explain it to me. I felt like I got a free medical crash course! Then she did an actual examination before helping me arrive at a decision for my next step. I will only use her from now on and highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a gastroenteroligist. I must add that she saw me right when I walked in the door. I didn't even make it to the waiting room! Amazing!
