Dr. Li was caring, knowledgeable and professional during our visit. She greeted me with a smile and showed obvious interest and care during our visit. It was obvious that she had taken time to review my record before I entered her office.

I felt she was very well informed. She did answer all of my questions, but often while she was typing, so she wasn't really making eye contact. She seemed a bit stressed and I assumed it was because she was 8 months pregnant and felt uncomfortable.
