Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Excellent
Dr.Ly was the absolute best all the way around. I was incredibly nervous and convinced I was going to die and he was the most caring surgeon who reassured me and my family I would be around for my sons senior year of high school and for that I am eternally grateful. It will be 9 months post op for Aortic valve replacement and I getting better every day.

From the first time we had our visits in 2018. Dr. Ly was wonderful and made me feel confident about going into the lung surgery. He is an excellent person and surgeon. He is extremely patient and professional. Took the time to explain everything to me even thought I do not speak fluent English. Thank you and I highly recommend him!

At my husband’s first appointment with Dr. Ly, we were literally in tears, fearing the worst with my husband’s heart condition. Dr. Ly very calmly and professionally explained our options, and gave us confidence that the world wasn’t coming to an end! During the past two years Dr. Ly has been an excellent doctor for my husband, and we even look forward to appointments now.

My experience with Dr. Ly was very good, in a bad situation. He was direct and to the point about my condition and what the surgery would accomplish. His bedside manor put me at ease about the procedure. I have no hesitation about recommending Dr. Ly, and would seek him out if needed in the future.

I was referred to Dr. Ly by my cardiologist, Dr, Richard Wilks. After checking his bio out on the internet, and meeting with him at the hospital, I was confident in his background and ability. Dr. Ly performed my quintuple bypass on my birthday, July 5th. I'm now past my second post op check up and am scheduled for cardiac rehab starting next week. Dr. Ly is accessible, warm, informative, and imminetly qualified. If you are facing this difficult time, Dr. Ly is the best. Good luck!
