Most patients describe doctors and staff who listen carefully, explain clearly, and treat them with genuine care. A small number felt hurried through consultations and dismissed; one patient with Dr. Catherine Liu paid $100 for an appointment where she felt unheard about back pain, while another reported poor communication with a different doctor. The best experiences highlight doctors like Dr. Brittany and Dr. Alan Lam who take time with patients.
