Winston Lai DO chose to specialize in family medicine because he wanted a broad range of experiences in his medical training and he appreciated the opportunity to care for a diverse patient population.

The main reason Dr. Lai chose to pursue medicine is his belief that a person's health is one of the most important aspects of their lives. He hopes to help people live a longer and more fulfilling life while having a positive impact on the community he serves.

Dr. Lai enjoys helping people understand and manage their health issues, such as preventing the development of heart disease--the number one cause of death in the world--by managing blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes and obesity.

What makes Dr. Lai stand out as a medical practitioner is his ability to listen to his patients and help them understand their disease. He is always trying to read and learn more about his discipline. He also enjoys fitness and travel in his free time.

He was excellent as a PCP. He went over and beyond to explain everything I had questions about and he also went over and beyond to make sure as a new patient of his, he can find out everything he needs to know about my medical history and he made sure I knew it is important to know everything I need to about my health. It was a pleasure!

Dr. Winston was very thorough and I had never felt so cared for by any previous doctors. He's an amazing doctor so far!

I think the provider is very competent and I enjoyed my visit, but the only issue is not being able to do labs in the office and having to be referred out to Quest or Lab Corps. That was something that I wasn't expecting and it kid of, most of my experience with other providers, it's not necessary. So, hopefully, that's something that can be changed.

Dr. Lai is a new doctor to me and my husband, so we really don't know how things will go so far. But he was very polite, pleasant, professional. On our first visit with him, I did inform him that our previous doctor, who retired after 30 years, how they did things in their office. They're more, I guess, inclusive in terms of getting things done in the office. We had to just go to one place, and I know it's different now with PIH. Not everything is done in the office. So labs, we have to go somewhere. Exams, we have to go somewhere. All these separate exams, we have to go to different places. So we're going to give it a try and see how it goes, and we'll go from there.

I am a 38-year-old female who hasn't seen a regular family practitioner since pre-COVID. And for my very first office visit, Dr. Winston was incredibly thorough and made me feel incredibly, incredibly comfortable. I am going to schedule an appointment for my husband with him, and I can't wait for future visits. I don't dread going to the doctor because of Dr. (name removed).

I am disappointed with how difficult it is to see a specialist within this medical group that the provider has access to. It is unacceptable that only 1 infectious diseases specialist is available for the entire medical group and is only taking appointments 1 day of the week, every other week. How is this even acceptable after the Covid pandemic?

The care was excellent as well as the service I received from the receptionist to the doctor's assistant when the doctor arrived, but very professional, I greatly appreciate it.

This was my first visit to Dr. Lai and I'm so impressed! He's absolutely wonderful as is everyone in the office! Thank you!
