Dr. Lu is the kindest most understanding doctor I have ever had the pleasure of working with. It's obvious she really cares about her patients, listens, and tries her best to make you feel comfortable. I was really scared before making an appointment but now I feel silly and wish I would have done so sooner. Just talking with her makes me feel better.
