Dr Liu is an amazing physician! She listens very carefully and communicates so well - I always leave my childrens' appointments feeling confident and well cared for. She consistently follows up through MyChart with information I may have requested during appointments as well, which allows me to listen and be present during appointments instead of scribbling down notes.
