Seems not interested in my case and if he has preconceived ideas about my case which i do not agree with
Dr.Liu took the time to explain everything in detail and made me feel at ease,.He was very compassionate, and I'm so grateful for his care.
Dr Liu is exceptionally knowledgeable, efficient and thorough. He is easy to talk to, actively listens and thoroughly explains the pros and cons of surgery and alternative treatment options and outcomes. He is a consummate professional. I’m grateful to have found such a competent and compassionate doctor. I highly recommend Dr. Zefu Liu
Awesome Team
He ffully explained what was going on with my shoulder and the process I would go through to repair it. He also encouraged me to call at any time I if a problem occurred.
I've been seen by other orthopedic doctors before since my car accident 6 months ago, that didn't take the time to really listen to my pain and I felt dismissed, but Dr. Liu took the time to listen, to run some physical examination on me and he also took the time to explain. This was my first visit and even though my problem has not yet been solved, he has requested more tests to be done on me to find out the cause. I am very pleased so far, and even though I am still in a lot of pain and have to wait longer to release my shoulder, I felt he listened and have hope that this is going to be solved.
Best Dr ever
