Dr. Liu is a wonderful doctor. I can't ask any better one. He cared about my concerns and dealt with them very well. He performed a biopsy during my visit, and he did so wonderful that I was able to walk out of his office without any dis-comfortable. When the result of my biopsy came out, Dr. Liu called me and explain it to me very clearly. He is amazing!

Dr Liu himself called me on a Sunday to reschedule my appointment due to a death in his family. This is going above and beyond what I expected. He makes me feel like a person not a number.
