Dr. Law is incredibly knowledgeable and kind and has taken great care of our son during his tracheotomy and ear tube placements. He shows the utmost integrity and has a great, fun personality. He is our favorite doctor our son sees, by far.
Everyone, was very nice and pleasant, the whole visit.
Dr. Law is amazing. Always thorough and has a game plan with my daughter. We were originally looking at a few months wait time to be seen but he was able to squeeze us in to be seen the next week so we could address our concerns quickly.
Dr. Law is amazing doctor 100% recommend him. He deserves the doctor year award. Thanks for being great.
I like the doctor he seemed well informed and knew what he was doing. He offered other procedures that could be better suited to my sons situation which was nice. Thank you
Dr Law and his medical assistant are always very welcoming and helpful. Very supportive provider that always shows a professional and caring attitude towards my child.
I appreciated the timeliness of the situation. We came into the office and were seen fairly quickly and were able to leave a lot sooner than anticipated and still have all of my questions answered and have her evaluated all in the meantime. So that was very excellent. And then I also appreciated Dr. Law's very efficient explanations and helping deep dive into some of the concerns that I had. I really appreciated the communication that I got for those questions and the answer they received. It made me feel a lot more comfortable and trusting of the team as a whole. That's it.
Dr. Law was amazing! This was our first time seeing him and he was so patient and thorough with us. I feel very confident with the next steps he explained to us and I have no doubt he will take care of my son's needs.
