Dr. Lau grew up in Alameda. As a child, he was raised to be an engineer, and grew up around slide rules and drafting utensils. He changed to healthcare only after going on a mission trip to Mexico.
​
He served on the Alameda County Dental society’s board of directors, the Northern California Asian American Dental Association’s board of directors, and was on the Continued Education Committee of the Sacramento Dental Society. Dr. Lau also served at the Berkeley Free Clinic and headed a school outreach to local public schools to teach children on how to avoid cavities.
​
Dr. Lau can empathize with anyone scared of dentists, as he too was afraid of them too. So now, he is able to meet patients where they are.
