In patients' words
"I absolutely love Dr. Liao! She is engaged, a great listener, and addresses concerns in a consultative way with valuing my input and looking at scientific input to help us make a collaborative decision."
— Healthgrades Review"This practice has some absolutely AMAZING providers, but the customer service is completely non-existent... It's such a bummer that so many amazing providers are at this practice, because it's IMPOSSIBLE to get an appointment to see one."
— LocalityBiz Review"Old school family doctor, who is compassionate, kind and exceptionally competent and committed to patients well being... If you have to wait, it's because he's taking time with other patients!"
— Healthgrades Review"The communication between the Dr and patient is terrible, the ability to get through to your Dr or even a department is nearly impossible... The one star is for their acupuncture Dept which is awesome... but the rest of the hospital deserves a zero star rating."
