Dr Liu is marvelous. His expertise in identifying potential cancer is profound. As this appointment doubled as a wound check post off Day 5 from Mohs surgery as well as an annual skin check, both he and the resident had a lot to do. We have several areas that have been photographed and are followed annually. Dr Liu uses these past records prior to reassure me of their current status and any need for additional follow up. His caring mannerisms provide confidence in his ability as a top notch care provider.
