Dr Joy J. Liu was an exceptional Gastro doctor she actually sat and listened to me and we worked together to come up with a plan about all my issues with my stomach. I like the fact that she took baby steps to start out with and not just focus on a certain thing like a former Gastro dr did and he wound up doing a unnecessary procedure that shouldn't have been done. I was super nervous about my appointment and with Dr Liu explaining things like she did I was a lot more comfortable when the appointment was over. She is definitely a amazing doctor.
