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.

Not a good experience. She a very uncaring and dismissive doctor. Blames the patient for their condition. A pill pusher instead of providing answers. If you have a medical problem that requires competent medical treatment do not waste your time with Dr. Liu.

Doctor was rude, did not appreciate questions or being asked to repeat what she said. Felt unlistened to and rushed out the door with no answers.

First & Last time patient! – Sep 27, 2019

So many things I could go over and list, but I don't have the energy. a brief search of reviews will give you an idea. If you care about yourself or a loved one, change doctors ASAP! she should not have a license to practice!

Dr. Yao Liu is completely unprofessional and disrespectful. She does not take the time to explain MRI scans and listen to the patient's concerns. She even misread an MRI scan that was shown to other neurologists and they provided a different diagnosis that was very serious. All she wanted to do was give painkillers. She speaks loudly in the office in which other patients can hear confidential medical information. Do not go to her, a person who does not care about patients in pain.

She is be very knowledgeable, but that does not give her the right to have and attitude, it is disappointing, I was hoping for her to help me with my condition, but i am tired of doctors like her with a temper. They just dont understand the vulnerability of the patients and that we come to them because we need help and not to be mocked. It was my first and my last time going to her office.

Dr Liu has been my neurologist for 10 years she has been professional and caring. She has managed my MS and kept me healthy. She is a wonderful doctor. We need more like her.

Dr. Liu was wonderful! She actively listened and got my diagnoses spot on. I found her to be bright, articulate, caring and extremely competent. I will return for services, as I believe she delivers university-level medical care in a compassionate way.
