Derek Lau, DMD

The best dentist I’ve ever had.
Very friendly, patient, he’ll tell you what you do and don’t want to hear and he’ll make your teeth clean.
What more can you ask for?!

Absolutely great guy! Speaks mandarin, cantonese and english all very fluently!
Has been my dentist for 6 – 7 years. My entire family has been going to him since about the same time. I always go for routine cleaning and cavity filling, but my dad and uncle have had some pretty intense treatments with him (root canals, bridges, crowns, etc). Both he and the receptionist are an absolute pleasure to deal with especially in terms of appointment scheduling and handling insurance!
Have been to both the Parsippany, NJ location and Chinatown NY one. NY is definitely smaller but convenient location and still gets the job done. Has regular office hours M-​Saturday until 7/​8pm everyday and is on call Sundays if your really need to see him. Rare to find a dentist who goes through such great lengths to make himself available!

My family has been going to Dr. Lau’s practice for over 4 years. Excellent service. Accepts insurance with Sat appointments available. Friendly and caring staff that actually reaches out to you with appointment reminders. A+ service.

Highly recommended.
I had work done by two other dentists before I saw Dr. Lau based on a recommendation. I was very impressed. Unlike the other Manhattan dentists who were trying to squeeze as much billing potential out of the situation, Dr Lau simply looked, took his time explaining and did a filling. All in one visit. Also, he will do whatever filling you want, including the old-​fashioned metal kind that I prefer because it lasts longer. What’s more, his ability to inject anesthesia surpassed that of Central Park West über-​expensive dentist I went to six months ago. I felt no pain or discomfort.
I will return to Dr. Lau when I need dental work done again.
