He was so patient and kind. He told me how he could put my colon back together after another surgeon said he couldn't do it. Now I feel like a normal person again! Thank you for operating on me and getting rid of my ostomy!

Dr. Liu is that doctor you know is so smart and thoughtful that he could've literally had any career, but I am so lucky he became my doctor. He did surgery on me and now I have my life back again! He was so great with explaining using logic and words I can understand. Thank you Dr. Liu!

I had a very embarrassing problem back there for many years and didn't know who to talk to. Dr. Liu was a true professional and made the whole process very comfortable. After a few small surgeries I now feel like a normal person again. Thank you!

Treated us like human beings and really cared about my dad's cancer, unlike a lot of the other doctors we had seen at this point. Surgical skills top notch (he did robotic surgery). Went home earlier than expected and now FINALLY living a normal life again.

He helped my father combat his colon cancer. Dr. Liu is an excellent surgeon and used the most advanced robotic surgical technology. He was kind and patient and really helped our family through a tough time in our lives.
