What People Say About Dr. Brian Tuai, MD

I found Dr Tuai to be compassionate and very attentive. He took the time to fully explain my options and did not try to push me into surgery. It did take several days to get an appointment. After leaving two messages over three days with the scheduling staff and no return call, I tried a third time and the receptionist was able to patch me into them directly.
