Dr. Sunny Lai, Burnaby
Meet your doctor
Dr. Lai has passionately serviced patients for their podiatric needs in Burnaby for the past 30 years. He earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Western Ontario and his medical degree from Rosalind Franklin University in Illinois, completing his Podiatric Surgery residency at Vancouver General Hospital.
Although highly trained as a foot and ankle surgeon, he will exhaust all conservative care before recommending a surgical option.
Dr. Lai is most passionate about the sports medicine aspect of his practice: helping athletes young and old, novice and professional, to be their best. In his spare time, he enjoys photography, learning new languages, working out, hiking with his family and dog, open-water swims, kayaking, camping, and snowboarding.
Meet your doctor
We welcome our associate Dr. Liou to the office. Dr. Liou is a well-trained and experienced foot and ankle surgeon who treats a variety of lower-limb problems including sports injuries, flat and high-arched feet, bunions and hammertoes, warts, fungal toenails, and diabetic foot care.
Dr. Liou grew up in Vancouver and attended the University of British Columbia, earning a Bachelor of Science in Biology. He went on to earn his Doctorate of Podiatric Medicine from Barry University School of Podiatric Medicine in Miami, Florida. While in school, Dr. Liou volunteered at events to raise awareness and treated those with diabetic foot complications.
Upon graduation, he completed a comprehensive three-year surgical residency in Foot and Ankle Reconstructive Surgery at Montefiore Medical Center, serving as Chief Resident in his third year. He has a special interest in minimally invasive surgical correction of bunion deformities, in which he has completed clinical research.
Dr. Liou is dedicated to providing his patients with exceptional care and compassion. When not at the clinic, he enjoys playing badminton, hiking, and fishing.
