I lived in Ivanhoe and was anxious about my gallbladder issue. Dr Lai explained everything plainly and performed a laparoscopic removal with minimal fuss. Recovery was smooth and I could get back to walking around Heidelberg within a week.

Excellent care from start to finish. Dr Lai assessed my thyroid concerns and arranged all the tests quickly. Her bedside manner is very reassuring, and I appreciated her clarity on next steps. Highly recommended for anyone in Melbourne’s north.

I had to get my appendix removed and was a bit nervous about the surgery. Dr Lai put me at ease with thorough explanations and gentle persuasion about the procedure. Post-op care in Heidelberg was great and I felt supported the whole way.

From the first consult in Burgundy Street, I felt I was in capable hands. The hernia repair was precise, and the scar is minimal. The team at Heidelberg Medical Centre were fantastic with reminders and follow-up.

Living in Melbourne’s northern suburbs, finding a surgeon who speaks Cantonese and Mandarin was a big plus. Dr Lai explained the thyroid evaluation step by step and answered all my questions. Felt confident throughout the process.

Great experience overall. I had a gallbladder issue and the laparoscopic removal went smoothly with minimal downtime. The aftercare instructions were clear, and I appreciated the quick response to a small concern after the surgery.
