Patient Reviews
Feb 28, 2024
Dr. Lu was a godsend to me. Since I previously had spinal fusion surgery, repairing my Lumbar spine would be exceptionally challenging. When I had my consultation Dr. Lu immediately identified the problem and explained what needed to be done to repair my spine. In addition, he clearly set forth the limitations and the likelihood of success. Dr. Lu responded to all of my questions regarding my condition and his recommendations.Dr. Lu's support staff was fantastic--they quickly responded to my emails prior to surgery. Dr. Lu's surgical repair was miraculous, the weakness in my legs was totally gone. My follow up appointment with his PA, Sara, went very well. She too answered all my inquiries clearly and succinctly. The bottom line is this: If you need a highly skilled neurosurgeon, Dr. Lu should be considered for your healthcare needs.
