Dr Liu is awesome! Great demeanor....very nice person!... Really listens to you and makes you feel at ease. I wish Doctor Liu was my primary doctor! He's the best!
Dr. Liu is an excellent physician. I don't particularly like the St.John Med Center office; cobwebs under sink and exam room could use a good cleaning and a good coat of paint.
Dr. Lui is able to explain the surgery risk factors and balance those with my health needs. I appreciate his caring approach.
I would highly recommend Dr Liu to anyone needing his service.
Have seen in office and he did my surgery for anal cancer. He explained everything and calmed my fears. Listens to me. EXCELLENT doctor.
He listened well and was understanding of why discussed topics were sensitive and exercised good bedside skills discussing them.
This appointment was to schedule a gallbladder surgery. I specifically sought to have Dr. Liu do the surgery because I had been impressed by the skill, professionalism, and humanity that he displayed earlier this year when he surgically repaired my emergent strangled hernia.
All visits with Dr Liu are excellent. Clear explanations and professional. The entire team is extremely helpful and courteous. Nurse Stephany has been superb in helping with follow up procedures and appointments. Grateful for this entire staff!!!! Job well done
Dr. Liu is incredible. He is great at explaining difficult anatomy and even drawing diagrams if needed. He is a completely genuine human that Is using his God given talents and hard work to change lives. He has made a dramatic difference in my health and I would recommend anyone else with similar problems to him. I hope I never need him again but I know he will be there if I do.
Industry Relationships
University Hospitals is committed to transparency in our interactions with industry partners, such as pharmaceutical, biotech, or medical device companies. At UH, we disclose practitioner and their family members’ ownership and intellectual property rights that are or in the process of being commercialized. In addition, we disclose payments to employed practitioners of $5,000 or more from companies with which the practitioners interact as part of their professional activities. These practitioner-industry relationships assist in developing new drugs, devices and therapies and in providing medical education aimed at improving quality of care and enhancing clinical outcomes. At the same time, UH understands that these relationships may create a conflict of interest. In providing this information, UH desires to assist patients in talking with their practitioners about industry relationships and how those relationships may impact their medical care.
UH practitioners seek advance approval for certain new industry relationships. In addition, practitioners report their industry relationships and activities, as well as those of their immediate family members, to the UH Office of Outside Interests annually. We review these reports and implement management plans, as appropriate, to address conflicts of interest that may arise in connection with medical research, clinical care and purchasing decisions.
