Dr.David S.Liao the best Doctor!!
Dr. Liao is an exceptional and compassionate specialist in ophthalmology. I've been seeing Dr. Liao over a year for my wet AMD. My condition is stable under his care and I credit that to his treatment regimen. It is a partnership with his patients. You keep your appointment schedule, and the treatment he recommends has the best chance of working. Wet AMD, which is an aggressive form of the disease, can have a major impact on your central vision if left untreated. I highly recommend Dr. Liao and his very capable staff.
He could have explained things a little more clearly, with more detail.
Excellent care. However, my cataract surgery is going on almost 2 years and I’m going to two outside SPECIALIST from CEDARS SINAI and still no solution to my problem.
We travel an extra 30mins to visit Dr. Liao, because my father likes him and his staff so much. I highly recommend him and his staff.
Very thorough and kind.
Always nice and professional
