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.

Dr Lai listened to all my concerns and provided me with all the necessary follow up appointments
July 10, 2026
Dr. Winston was very sweet. He took his time. He explained. I asked him many questions and he was patient. I honestly would love Dr. Winston. I will recommend him with anybody and he was recommended to me by one of my coworkers and I will continue to recommend him.

I did not have a PCP for years because I could not find one in network. Dr. (name removed) recommended Dr. Lai and my first visit with Dr. Lai was excellent. He is a patient and careful listener. I appreciate his genuine curiosity towards how to best address my concerns. He also takes the time to explain well.

Great doctor that took the time to listen to all my concerns and addressed every single one of them. I didn't feel dismissed or pushed aside. Very happy with my visit.

I love Dr Lai! He listens, he explains things well, he shows interest and takes care! I am so happy I found Asher doctors who talked down to me and always made me feel like I was doing everything wrong.

I hear tell there's a blood test to be done in the colon test. Understandably, blood test of the colon and not a colonoscopy when I do have kidney problems. I have kidney stones and have, for instance, almost a year now. Think about that. No, I do not want a colonoscopy with kidney problems at the same time. It's printed out in me, in my copy. Maybe the doctor has forgotten about things like that. No, this is important. I'm not going to have a colonoscopy performed when I have kidney problems. It's in print. Thank you.

Office is empty and I don't understand why the air times are so long

Yeah, I just wanted to say on the second question that it actually is a number four for definitely. I felt very comfortable in Dr. Lai's office and I will feel right now I feel that he is, I'm going to continue to utilize him and to visit him when necessary for my regular checkups.

The front desk employee, (name removed), was very rude. I was late by a minute and she said I had to reschedule my appointment.

Dr Lai was easy to talk to and listened to me
April 14, 2026
Dr. Lai was very knowledgeable. He was very helpful towards me. He was prompt. I got there in and out and great bedside manners. He thoroughly just gave me options of what to do because it was for my back and different exercises that I can use. And I felt really satisfied after seeing him. So I would definitely highly recommend this doctor.

There was no wait time. My visit was fast and efficient. Everything that I requested, I received. And everybody was courteous.
April 02, 2026
However, my overall experience at the office was not the best due to interactions with the front office staff. On more than one occasion, the staff were not very courteous, and I could hear conversations from the back of the office regarding issues with my records, including mention that they had been deleted. It was uncomfortable to hear my situation discussed where I could overhear it. This wasn't the first time something like this occurred, and it created a sense of unease while being there. While the provider themselves was excellent, the professionalism and handling of patient matters by the office staff could be improved.
April 01, 2026

Dr. Lai was attentative, caring, and thorough. Definately, I would recommend him to others. In fact, I got a referral from my peer. On the other hand, the receptionist was not friendly at all while the MA was. No greetings. No response.

Dr. Lai is very responsive. He answered all of my questions. When I needed to have to go over my blood results with him, I was able to set up a telehealth appointment right away for the next day to go over everything. He goes over everything thoroughly. He really takes my health care seriously and I appreciate that.
