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.

Dr. Liao has been my cardiologist for 8 plus years and has been attentive the entire time. Throughout all of my the years Dr. Liao has listened, followed up and has provided thorough care. I recommend Dr. Liao.

Such an amazing doctor. Not only is he a leading expert in the field of cardiology, but he can also recite studies and research recommendations for just about anything heart-related. Even better? He has an amazing personality, cares greatly about you, and is quick to respond to questions you email him...unheard of for most doctors. If you need a cardiologist, you will be in great hands!

I have been seeing Dr. Liao for 6 years and find him to be a great listener and a thorough professional. He has a warm personality and a smile even when tired. He is prompt on any follow-up required and asks if you have questions and provides concise answers to them. Born in N.C. and educated at Duke Medical School with the full support of all Duke Medical facilities. I highly recommend Dr. Liao to family and friends.
