Dr. Khor is everything I would hope for in a health care provider. She takes adequate time to explore all options to help me have the best health possible. She coordinates and works with other members of my health care team. She listens well to my concerns, never brushes me off, or makes me feel stupid. She is personable, kind, knowledgeable, and I always leave with the feeling that she actually cares and is invested in doing everything within her power to help me manage complex health issues. She problem solves with me, reaching out to other personnel/departments when necessary. She is prompt in answering messages through the online portal.I am very grateful to have Dr. Lillian Khor as my cardiologist.
