In 2007, he attained both the specialist degree of Master of Medicine (O&G) from Singapore and membership of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (UK).

Besides general obstetrics and gynaecology practice, Dr Lau’s passion lies in fertility treatment and advanced keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery. He also has accumulated many years of experience in laparoscopy, myomectomy, cystectomy, tubal reversal, and endometriosis surgery.

He has extensive fertility-related experience as a lecturer, co-author of research publications, and guest speaker at conferences.

Dr Lau is committed to exceptional patient care as he strives to give people the best chance of having a child. He believes every patient is different and requires individualised management. He enjoys communicating with patients, coordinating their care with the interdisciplinary team. Dr Lau also believes that a humble, gentle and patient approach will result in a more effective and desirable outcome.
