Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

used to be excellent, now mediocre
My experience with Dr. Liaw was excellent up until Covid. Since then, he has been distracted, resulting in several incidents of inattentive and delayed care, as well as extra costs due to the need for unnecessary repeat visits.

Extremely caring and thorough and spends substantial time with patients. He takes the time to gather and understand family history and assess risk factors and makes recommendations. Never feel rushed.
