I was very pleased at the time of my apt because I was late for my appointment and he took me right away! I also like the examination I got for my first visit and the treatment I received!

Prescribed me a medication without telling me that I shouldn't use it for longer than 8 weeks. I found this out through another source later. I wish I would have been advised of that since it's a bleaching cream.

Dr Lio is simply one of the best docs ever. He spends time with you and makes you feel cared for. His new office is also beautiful! Love it and plenty of parking!
July 13, 2015Janet E.Verified patient
Dr. Lio is an awesome dermatologist. He is very caring and truly care about the state of your health. You are not just another patient. He really spends time answering your questions and concerns. All the dermatologists I have seen in the past usually zoomed in and out of the room as fast as they could. His staff and nurse are very awesome to work with as well. I traveled 6 hours just to see him and it is worth it everytime.
August 24, 2015Suyauwaty W.Verified patient

Very friendly and efficient office and Dr Lio is simply excellent. I am physician myself and he is the only dermatologist in Chicago to whom I will refer my patients
August 20, 2015David E.Verified patient
Dr. Lio is above and beyond the best dermatologist that I've had the experience of working with. I have extremely sensitive Irish skin, eczema coupled with a history of skin cancer in the family.
He's as professional as they come and has legitimate concern and care in his voice while examining and has cured/curbed several ailments that other Doctors in the past weren't able to.
He puts his patients on firm plans to follow that include maintenance care if need be beyond the initial treatments.
The new office space is gorgeous and the staff is friendly, accommodating, and make the patient experience as seamless as possible. Much less chaotic than Dr. Lio's old office space.
July 15, 2015Timothy M.Verified patient
Dr. Lio is amazing. This is the second time I've followed him to a new practice and I'm glad I did. He's knowledgeable, professional and personable. I highly recommend him.
August 28, 2015Michelle B.Verified patient
My four year old grandson was very anxious about seeing a doctor (good memory for painful shots), but Dr. Lio was able to connect with him immediately, diagnosed and solved his skin problem--no shots:-)
August 13, 2015Miles P.Verified patient
After much research, I landed on Dr. Lio as my new dermatologist in Chicago, having moved here from out of state. Dr. Lio immediately diagnosed a skin rash that is fairly rare (though thankfully not serious). He prescribed a treatment that included a prescription steroid as well as over the counter vitamins. The fact that Dr. Lio could recall, from memory, a study that showed certain vitamins benefitting this rare skin condition and used that to supplement my care was remarkable. He also helped treat my acne and recommended additional night time treatments in concert with what my previous dermatologist had me on, which I look forward to using as part of the well detailed regiment he prescribed. Not only was Dr. Lio very personable, but he also sent me off with print-outs of detailed information, both about my treatment regimen and the rare skin rash for which I sought treatment, as well as the abstract of the study that showed how vitamin supplementation could help with the rash. Being a technically minded person, I really appreciated the time Dr. Lio took to explain what exactly was going on as well as the reference information he provided, which made me even more confident in his treatment plan. I wish every doctor's visit was more like this one!
August 7, 2015David J.Verified patient
Dr. Lio is my favorite. He's attentive and kind. The office is beautiful. I only waited about 15 minutes and was in and out in a flash.

Dr. Lio is very thorough and courteous. He has such a great, calming manner. He always informs and educates us on the medications/creams that he prescribes. I really like that he sets up a daily action plan so it becomes habit for my teenager to follow.

Super smart and kind doctor. What more can you ask for? Also, easy parking right on the street. Eczema and acne have improved tremendously under Dr. Lio's care. Highly recommend him!
June 25, 2015Anthony K.Verified patient
It was a relief. Dr. Lio provided both hope and solutions during the visit. Having a professionals insight when dealing with the struggles of health and life balance is key. His attention to detail and knwoledge has provided a level of reassurance that is not oftenly found when dealing with health issues, and solidified his expertise.
