Patient Reviews
Jan 12, 2025
Dr. Lau performed an aortic valve replacement on my heart (Ross procedure). When he saw my heart he realized that my mitrial valve needed repairing as well as an ascending aortic aneurysm. He fixed all problems, both planned and unforseen, in one surgery. It's been a little over a month now, and I'm recovering fine. Also, my sister works at a hospital in Syracuse, NY, and the cardiac doctors that work there knew who he was, so his reputation precedes him. Highly recommend.
Thank you for sharing your feedback about Dr. Christopher Lau, MD.
