Dr. Liao is truly a partner in my healthcare journey. She is patient, kind, and thoughtful in every interaction. What sets her apart is not only her clinical expertise, but the way she empowers me as a patient. She takes the time to listen attentively, explain clearly, and ensure that I feel seen, heard, and supported. She is always pleasant and warm, creating an atmosphere where I feel comfortable asking questions—something that has made a real difference in how I care for my own health. I emailed her a few days ago with a concern, expecting a simple reply. Instead, she invited me to come in and then spent quality time with me—going above and beyond to make sure I felt reassured and informed. In a system that often feels rushed, Dr. Liao’s presence and commitment are truly rare and deeply valued. I am grateful to have her as my physician.
