Dr. Lai has know my daughter since she was 3 years old, Juliana. He has always been so kind, awnser all my questions and concerns, and goes above and beyond to make sure everything was fine. Years down the line my daughter is 9. Dr. Lai was the only doctor who heard my concerns about my daughters headache. I remember telling her Pediatrician and she would brush it off and say it was nothing to give tylenol. I felt ok maybe its nothing... 6 months later she is still having headaches, we have an appt with him. We tell him too and he said it was not normal and to go back to my PEDS office and ask for an MRI asap. Well she ended up having to have 2 brain surgeries and shes doing great and acting and functioning like she did pre-surgery. Dr. Lai thank you for always caring for your patients, and hearing our concerns that saved my daughters life!

Went to the Gramercy location & I was impressed how an entire building is dedicated to eye care! We scheduled Dr. James Z. Lai who did an outstanding job with my preschool child. He had a toy fire truck in his office with a certain set-up which was genius to keep the littles engaged! Dr Lai treated my son with patience, dignity and respect. He was very informative and answered all of our questions without rushing us.
The office staff were also very professional & informative. The tech who does the initial exams had a special way of talking to littles that put him as ease & made him want to cooperate. So happy how smoothly & quickly we found our sons childhood Opthalmologist.

Pretty certain Dr. Lai saved my eyes in 2002 or so when I was 5 years old, at Texas Children's hospital. It was a Dr. Li or Lai, and he is the only one fitting the description I can find. Thank you doctor. I am 28 now with a child of my own, who is now being cared for nearby for hydrocephalus at Texas Children's

The best experience I've had with a doctor who provides care for children! You can tell he's the best in his profession and very knowledgeable! When our children need care we want a doctor who explains what's going on, allows us to ask questions for our own understanding without feeling rushed, and has a great connection with the little patients. He does it all! I feel confident that my daughter is in good hands and I as the parent, trust his care! Great job Dr. Lai!

Dr. Lai was fantastic with my daughter. She is 6, a first time glasses wearer, and was nervous. He first started by talking and making regular conversation with her. He made her feel so comfortable. He took his time with us, let my daughter and me ask as many questions as we wanted without ever feeling rushed. We left her appointment feeling so glad we went. He's a fantastic ophthalmologist (and from what I could tell from our visit a very kind and great person). Highly recommend.

We look forward to seeing Dr. Lai once yearly for our checkups. He helps my children ages 9 and 10 feel relaxed as they are nervous to get their eyes examined. He's funny and friendly, very thorough. His staff is also friendly, efficient and professional. We highly recommend his services.

Well my experience with my daughter's appointments have always been excellent. Dr. Lai is one of the best doctor in Houston. He definitely has so much knowledge and also patience with children. Every appointment is great, he answers my questions and really takes his time to make sure everything is right. I also arrived a bit early to my last appointment and they didnt wait until the actual appointment time to see us... they called us in right away... which is great when its a pediatric appointment. Love this place.
