August 24, 2014Mary P.Verified patient
I accompanied my grandmother to see Dr. Li. We were looking for a doctor that could speak mandarin to better communicate with my grandmother. Dr. Li had impatience written all over his face. There was quite a bit of sighing every time a question was asked. He didn't produce any solutions or recommend a course of action. Seemed like he just wanted to get out of the room as soon as possible. Ended up never going back and finding another much more helpful doctor.
