Dr Ma was awesome! She listened to me, explained why she was ordering more tests and not to be alarmed due to false positives, assured me there are treatment options once we get the lab results, helped find a location closer to my home to get the scans, and told me to use my chart if I needed to follow up on anything.

Dr Ma listens really well. She answers questions clearly. When I had a question a few days later, she responded in full, and in clear language. She is a very good communicator. I had an MRI and bloodwork done, and she ordered that so we could discuss it at the appointment.

This was my 2nd visit with Dr Ma. She is an excellent doctor in that she sent me messages clarifying the biopsy results quickly. She was thorough in her explanation of what was going on with my liver and what her recommendations for moving forward. She asked what I wanted to do after explaining possible solutions. Even though I had to drive 5 hrs to drive to and from my appointment I would readily do so again.
