I showed up for my appointment early and was taken back early, the PA and [staff] both were very kind, gentle, and thoughtfully explained how the appointment would go. Dr. Liang was also very kind and clear and gave me a lot of information in order to make the best choice for my care. [staff] was very patient in working with me to schedule and was a joy to talk to. This is one of the best experiences I've had with a medical team before.
