Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Sepsis, massive arm andhand infection.
Telehealth
I was in John C. Lincoln hospital and Dr. Ortiz, the Chief of Surgeon, enlisted Dr. Lui to tend to my massive infection. Both doctors saved my life, along with Dr. Mafi, Infectious Disease. My entire forearm was set with a skin graft from my thigh. All of my muscles work No cars show. All nerves have reconnected and one would never know that my whole arm had been reworked! Dr. Lui is a genius! Brilliant! I am so lucky that he is in Phoenix and said YES to Dr. Ortiz! I am ever thankful for all of my superb doctors!! Dr. Lui made my arm and hand work again and made them beautiful, too!

My daughter nearly cut her entire thumb off and thankfully Dr. Liu was able to reattach. We are so grateful for Dr. Liu's expertise in hand surgery. If you are looking for a hand surgeon look no further. I see some of the reviews that he was uncaring or did not answer enough questions. In my opinion, I think he is very busy and straight to the point. I would definitely recommend Dr.Liu to friends and family.

My son had a traumatic hand injury leading to a complex and intense series of surgeries to salvage and rebuild what was viable. Dr Liu, Dr Mirrer, Amber and the rest of their team have been outstanding with their skills, professionalism and time spent explaining options and answering questions. I pray you never have the misfortune of a traumatic hand injury, but count yourself blessed if this team happens to be on call at the hospital you’re transported to.

Dr Liu saved my son's hand. It was crushed by a boulder. There was a strong change that he was going to loose the hand. Today 6 months post multiple surgeries, my son has full function of his and all fingers.

Dr. Liu is absolutely wonderful. His skills as a surgeon are exemplary! Three years ago I cut through two of my nerves and a vein. I was supposed to have no function or feeling whatsoever. In the beginning, I couldn't even make a fist. Today, I can do nearly everything and it's all thanks to Dr. Liu and his recommendations.

Dr Lui did not give any details before or after my son's surgery. When we went to our appointment after surgery we waited over two hours, and the PA didn't have the chart and was just going off what Dr Lui was texting. Still no details or information given to us about recovery for the next surgery.

I've never felt so dismissed in my life! Literally, not one person asked me how I felt or how I was doing. The Dr spent maybe 45 seconds with me and then rushed out. I will be taking my own stitches out as I am completely done with bad doctors. Doctors are supposed to care and this one does not. If you can go anywhere else, do it!

This doctor was so rude, no empathy, compassion. He was rushed to get my aunt out of the room. It was so disappointing. I hope he learns how to be a better person. Have a heart!
