Dr. Editha Abelardo Liu, MD

Dr. Liu listens to her patients. My friend was being passed on from specialist to specialist with no clear answer for his pain at his ribs. The specialists told him it was his esophagus and was told to take proton pump inhibitors twice a day. The specialist performed a scope to check k is esophagus almost 2x a year but found it to be normal. One day his provider was out so he had Dr. Liu as a provider. She spent time listening to him. He told her his pain was on his sternum, ribs, shoulders, upper arms, pelvis and thighs. In that 45 minute visit Dr Liu spent time examining him and reviewing his records for the last 17 years and she found out he had and enlarged prostate 17 years ago but was lost to follow up and his last CT scan of his abdomen from 3 years prior showed an enlarge prostate the size of a grapefruit which he was not told of. Dr Liu checked his PSA and sent him to the urologist right away. After his evaluation by the urologist he was found to have extensive metastasis… of his prostate cancer to his ribs, spine, in his arms, pelvis and legs.

Very cold and distant. Poor bedside manner. Confirmed with a specialist that some of her medical information was false

She went above and beyond for me

I found out that Dr Liu is a Hospitalist/ Nocturnist who only works in the evenings. She and the entire hospitalist team have a team approach in taking care me during my hospital stay from admission to discharge. Her physician partners were for the most part the physicians who will handled my daily needs and my discharge and referring me. I was sad to find out Dr Liu and her partners do not have any office practice and I could not follow up with them as an outpatient.

Dr. Liu saw my father while he was inpatient. She was kind and willing to help but she was not able to give him any direction for further treatment/referral after he was dismissed.

I came in to the hospital and ER doctor told me I had an irregular heart beat and was admitted for that. Dr Liu saw me that morning and interviewed me and examined me throroughly. She found that I had a mass on my thyroid and had he ultrasound done that very morning. After a few days the mass was biopsied and and I am now receiving treatment for thyroid cancer. If she did not take the time to listen to my problems and examine me my problem might not have been fixed.

Dr .Liu and her team in the ICU at Mckennan are very good at what they do.My father was very sick when he got there and she made sure to explain to us all that was going on and she answered all our questions. They treated my father with respect and dignity.
