“Dr. Lu was very professional and she took my concern seriously and she was very thorough.
I’ll be seeing her again and I’m glad that she’s kind, sweet, nice and got to the bottom of what was happening with me and was able to tell me what’s going on and I have another visit with her. I may make her my permanent gastroenterologist.”
