Dr Lau is a unicorn. She not only speaks intelligently about cardio areas, she is up to speed on women specific issues and treats the whole body, not just one lane specialty. She was already knowledgeable of my medial history, allowed me to present my research and we had a conversation about my go forward plan. It was such a pleasure to feel I finally have a Dr who is also my partner in health and treatment options.

I am asking questions about estrogen and a stent, and I do not think there is a clear understanding of this. No evidence-based understanding. So it is really a shame because menopause was not taken seriously for so long.
