"I don't have words to describe how much I appreciate the care I've received from Dr. Law. As a patient with symptoms that previous doctors had always dismissed, it feels so relieving and simply incredible to finally have a doctor willing to truly listen to me and account for all of the symptoms I experience. Dr. Law is remarkably intelligent, kind, makes his patients feel comfortable, and is very thorough in his analysis. Especially if you are someone diagnosed with or uncertain about having Sjogren's, there is no doctor I have seen so knowledgeable about this disease than him. After 10 years of having this condition, I am finally getting the proper work-up and care that is needed to manage my condition, and I couldn't be happier to be his patient. I am beyond grateful.I don't have words to describe how much I appreciate the care I've received from Dr. Law.

"I have seen Dr. Law for an autoimmune disease and I feel very fortunate that he [...] is very close to where I live so that I feel I am seeing a very, very expert specialist in the disease that I apparently am dealing with. So I enjoy that I am seeing the best and I also enjoy his manner and his expertise in conveying how I should best handle my present syndrome. So I can't say enough for the care that I have received from Dr. Law. He is excellent."

"Dr. Law is an excellent doctor. He is kind-hearted, listens, and is very approachable. Unfortunately, I have a complicated medical history that doesn't fit into any box clearly. Having met Dr. Law, knowing that Sjogrens is his area of expertise, which in and of itself is rare, and complicated cases at that, and that he has already ordered imaging that I haven't even heard of, I am "cautiously optimistic" that I may finally have a possible diagnosis of this or another autoimmune disease, which has been suspected for years. For once in a very long time, I am excited to see where this path leads. Regardless of the outcome, I am so glad that he is part of [...] my Care Team."
