    I ever saw the care provider: I saw the fellow. She was interested, concerned, explained option is. Only thing was no recommendations of when to come back. She noted it in the visit summary but didn't say it orally. Most people don't read the notes of their visits, but I do.

    Dr Liao is excellent, very sympathetic, Good listener, answering my questions clearly and attentively making me comfortable to ask and talk to him. I've been struggling with my psoriasis over the 6 years. My previous Dr / providers over the years were not a good match. After talking to him and getting his advice In his caring manner and his student assistance I felt finally meeting a right kind knowledgeable Dr. I'm mentally relieved. Looking forward to receiving Appropriate treatment.
