We welcomed Dr. Lau to our dental team in November, 2017, along with her huge passion for dentistry! Her devotion to oral healthcare began during her undergraduate years in her beloved hometown of Winnipeg, Canada. Following her graduation from the University of Minnesota (go Gophers!) Dental School, she completed a General Practice Residency at Mercy Hospital in St. Louis, Missouri. (We think she kept looking for warmer weather!) After returning to Minnesota, she established a loyal patient ...Read Morefollowing with a Minnetonka dental practice for several years. Dr. Lau has since found a “new home” with our private practice, where she strongly values supporting patients’ oral healthcare goals, along with her specialized training in placing dental implants (she’s a real go-getter!). She believes in launching her day with an upbeat attitude and a daily quote (told you she has a HUGE passion for dentistry!), and is often heard humming her favorite tunes (in her case, no ear plugs required). When Dr. Lau is not monitoring teeth, she loves to spend time with her husband and family, walk her dog, Arnie (named after golfer, Arnold Palmer), bike Twin Cities trails, and travel. She also enjoys playing her guitar in an acoustic jam band; perhaps you’ll see her perform at a coffee shop one day! (We hope she doesn’t get too famous!) She’s also an avid sports fan, and loves cheering for anything Minnesota! Ski-U-Mah! Read Less
