Dr. Liu and Dr. Faruq are both excellent physicians. This was my first time seeing Dr. Faruq and I was very impressed and pleased with him - from his kind personality (he included my child in our conversation when appropriate) to his thorough assessment of my moles, he lived up to the environment Dr. Liu has created in which I feel valued as a patient. I look forward to seeing Dr. Liu regularly, he is one of my favorite doctors I have ever had throughout my life.
December 1, 2022
I was blown away by the engagement from the providers. I visited with a resident who was very thorough. I felt everything I mentioned to the resident was heard and discussed with the primary providers.
November 24, 2022

October 13, 2022
Friendly people
October 11, 2022
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.
October 11, 2022
Friendliness and helpfulness of everyone from clerks to MAs to physicians.

Doctor Liu was very caring and professional
September 8, 2022
Best thing was the perspective that Dr. Had whatever time was needed for you as a patient; not feeling like he was standing w/ hand on door knob before you were finished discussing your issues. Especially after finding out about the delayed schedule and knowing he needed to keep moving in hopes of getting his schedule somewhat caught up.

My treatment involves a new immunotherapy, and the physicians were very willing to take time to explain how my situation compared with others in FDA trials. Having been involved in the trials, one of the physicians was very informative on the uncertainty of patient response when sample size is small. The team was eager to involve me (and my wife) in evaluating the possible courses of future treatment.
