Dr. Au would not explain the possibilities that were causing my nasal mucus. He prescribed a medication which I asked about regarding it's effects, yet he did not give me any. After our meeting, I looked online and read from many sides including the Mayo Clinic and WebMD that this prescription could cause major effects and should not be used for more than a few months. I spoke with the him on the phone afterwards and he said he prescribed it to persons for their entire lifetimes and would not acknowledge its harmful effects. Dr. Au is not a reasonable man, don't waste your money, time or health with him.

He successfully diagnosed me with LPR (silent reflux) which another ENT confirmed. However, as a doctor, he completely dismissed my sleep apnea concerns. Now, I know he is an ENT and not a somnologist (sleep doctor), but he was quick to dismiss my daytime sleepiness as lack of adequate sleep, even though I get a full 8 hours of sleep (or so I thought). Fast forward a year later, turns out I have moderate obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Why do I mention this? Because people with GERD or LPR have a high correlation with OSA disorder and vice versa. Had this "doctor" known this simple and easily verifiable fact, he could have recommended me to a sleep specialist a year ago, so I could have received treatment sooner. If you have OSA, there's a good chance you might have LPR/GERD and vice versa. It's sad when people armed with Google can effectively self-diagnose themselves better than an MD "professional." I would not recommend Dr. Au for an ENT because he does not know the basic correlations of how various disorders affect one another.

Very disappointed with the doctor. I came to the doctor with a problem in my throat. He did not find anything even i showed him a picture which my husband took where clearly seen what happened. Doctor said that he doesn't see anything. I call him next day that my feeling are the same and something is still in my throat, came to the next appointment and showed him a picture again, finally he found it. Do not recommend this doctor.
