My initial visit was excellent. They tool x-rays of my shoulder. Dr. Liu did a physical exam. He suggested that I probably had a torn rotator cuff. He is sending me for an MRI. I was impressed as he asked several good questions. His physical exam was gentle and kind given the pain I am in. I look forward to working with Dr. Liu.
