      Dr. Liu is an excellent Primary Care Physician! As a female patient, I was hesitant about seeing a male physician however his care and understanding of my medical conditions has been stellar. Upon having a few appointments with him, I feel confident in the care he is providing and diligence in trying to find the best treatment options.

      Annual checkup consisted on listening to chest, reminder for pap smear, blood panel recommended for later in the year.I brought up perimenopause and HRT. Dr recommended getting on patches since I'm a smoker. No discussion on pros/cons/general patient feedback and whether recommended for my symptoms, etc. To my surprise, I received 2 prescriptions for perimenopause at the progesterone (not mentioned) and I have no idea what the progesterone is for.

      I recently transitioned to Dr. Liu as my Primary Care Physician and so far his care has been excellent. He actively listens to my health concerns and provides compassionate care, involving me in decisions about my treatment. I would consider that as patient-centered which I very much appreciate.
