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.

Painful Biopsy done
I had a biopsy done by Dr. Liao and it was so painful. He injected the numbing agent into my wound and did the biopsy before the numbing took effect. It was a horrible pain that I went through. I was in so much pain that it made me cry. How can someone do that to someone who is already in pain?I can't recommend him for that reason. Hopefully he doesn't do this to all his patients.

Excellent Surgeon
Dr Liao had done a very complicated 4 hour reconstructed surgery on my stomach in July 2024 which involved putting in a biodegradable mesh for my intestines. He did an outstanding job and I I’m now back to normal. Thank God for Doctors like him! I would highly recommend him.

Life Saver
Dr. Liao performed life saving surgery on my daughter. He was kind, professional and knowledgeable. He spent time with me after the procedure to explain the disease and recovery. I will always keep this man in my prayers. God bless him and his staff.

Had minor procedure performed by Dr. Liao. He thoroughly explained the procedure and answered all of my questions. He was easy to talk to and was very professional. Very pleased with the care I received. Would definitely chose him if I ever need surgery in the future.
