The staff was exceptional. Everyone was very friendly, extremely accommodating, and knowledgeable. Dr. Liu was just as her reviewers described her: she was interested in me, she listened, she explained everything clearly, she answered all questions, and she was engaging and empathetic without being at all condescending. Highly recommend!
Verified patient
I have been utilizing the practice for over 25 years for various issues. They are always polite and professional, and medically correct! In this instance, Dr. Liu prescribed a nasal spray that has changed my life over the past year. It has allowed me to sleep without snoring or difficulty breathing. Truly amazing!

Awesome

Pretty satisfying for my first visit.
Verified patient
Highly recommend Dr. Liu. She was extremely thorough. She listened, explained, and gave excellent recommendations. Thank you Dr. Liu!
Dr Liu is an exceptional doctor who is both knowledgeable and compassionate. She took the time to listen to my concerns and provided a clear and effective treatment plan.
Competent, capable, experienced and knowledgeable Dr Liu reviewed available records and referral order before the appointment, commendable these days; conducted physical examination to confirm scan results; provided an evidence-based assessment of the situation; and, provided a logical, test results-based follow-up plan. OA Chantilly presented as a well-organized office with smoothly executed work flow, especially from a first visit perspective. On the other hand, the sub-contracted appointment process via ZocDoc; medical record keeping via the Healow portal; practice, CV, billing and patient account information via the entmds.net site; and, the ensuing flood of emails concerning appointments, pre-visit form information requirements, and solicitation/ads from multiple allied business relations speaks to an incomplete work in process, or administrative overreach, resulting in a plethora of new email, office, business, and medical info contacts for patient mgmt.
Although this was the first time I met with Dr. Liu but I thought she was an excellent doctor. Extremely knowledgeable and kind. Explained my issues very clearly. My only frustration was the wait period which seems to be an on going issue with seeing any doctor these days. But I would 100% recommend her and would definitely see her again if needed.
Verified patient
The doctor is super nice, but she was clearly overwhelmed—she forgot things I had just mentioned and confused me with other patients. The office was a little disorganized. My appointment was at 10:40; I arrived at 10:15, was called into the doctor’s office at 10:50, and then waited over 30 minutes for the doctor to come in. She recommended that I schedule an appointment with the allergist in the same office, but when I went to the front desk, they said they couldn’t schedule it because the person who performs the tests was no longer going to be working there. A little disappointed!
