I was a little taken back by his bed side manner. He did not want to hear from the parent at all but only from patient. Who is (age) and was very nervous. I have not encountered this before. But by the end of the appointment I understood why and really liked him and the way he cared for his patient!

We are very happy with the thoughtfulness and compassion that everyone showed from the receptionist, the doctor, the nurse that was in with us, the lady that needed to take pictures. Thank you.

He made my daughter feel comfortable in a very awkward situation for her at her age.

Absolutely fantastic. He was very thorough in explaining every step. Most importantly, Dr Lou made my daughter feel very comfortable and safe throughout the entire visit.
