Dr. Liao has been my father's lungs doctor for many years now. We trust him completely. He is thorough, knowledgeable, caring and compassionate. Dr. Liao has excellent communication skills and always takes the time to answer all of our questions. We are truly grateful for his outstanding care and patience! Thank you, Dr. Liao.

One of the best ICU attending physicians I ever encountered. Saved many lives at Illinois Masonic Medical center's ICU, probably hundreds

I have been diagnosed and treated by Dr. Liao for sarcoidois and COPD for a number of years. He is a very professional,highly skillful physician,who is dedicated to maximizing the overall health and treatment for disorders. I credit him with saving my life when no one else , at the time ,was familiar with my illness,he biopsied me and has provided compassionate and skillful treatment.

Worst doctor ever! Arrogant, vindictive and extremely cold. Don't see him even if you have to drive a little farther.

Dr Liao is possibly the worst physician in the world. He is extremely arrogant, and treated me like I was worthless. I will never go back to see him.
