This was my second surgery with Dr. Liao and he did a great job. His staff is always pleasant and I never have to wait a long time. I have rare disease, so first surgery required weekly visits and procedures for 8 weeks. It was no brainer when I was informed by my Dr. that I needed to have surgery on my hand to call and schedule with Dr. Laio. I was not disappointed in my decision.

Dr. Laio was really put through the ringer for my problems and handled them with the upmost respect and compassion. I will recommend him to everyone I know. He handles his patients with a gentle and concerning manner and continued to check up on me after my surgerys. Finally a doctor I can trust.

He is wonderful - I can only say positive things! We went there for my mom. A couple of visits with an attempt to cure the problem with antibiotics. After that he decided mom needs a day surgery. Everything went good - she is in great condition now. There is no wait time ( we have been there quite a few times), he is really nice and personable and very professional. Will highly recommend him for any services he performs.
