Peter Liao, M.D. My first impression of Dr. Liao, A Calm & cool demeanor, but yet confident with his knowledge of knowing so much about "Gastric Bypass surgery, which made me comfortable and at ease. He is very professional & organized. During my hospital stay, when he ordered certain things to be done? and "If" the hospital staff, didn't comply in a timely fashion he took, matters into his own hands, and got what needed to be done and completed, Done!! I do remember that much. He is a no- non sense type of Doctor. Dr. Liao's weight management staff is Great!! Friendly, organized pretty good, and professional. Two really smart Nurse Practitoner's Aretha & Kate. The Nutritionist, Anne is wonderful too!! even down to the greeting staff, in the weight management ctr. were friendly & nice, during my many office visits. I was extremely "Blessed" to have a Excellent weight management team, who is so knowlegable in bariatrics. What did I like least about Dr. Liao? At times he seems too rushed? What should future patients know about Dr. Liao? That "he" is is Good!! at what he does!! Dr. Liao's program does have a good after care program & he emphasize's the importantance of follow up, after "wls" The after care program seems to be very structured, although I'm just a little over a month post-op. I have a six week Post-op appt. scheduled. How did he address the risks of surgery?? Clearly & calmly. I would rate Dr. Peter Liao?? "Cream of the Crop!! His, Bedside manner is a some what serious demeanor & straight to the point, of taking care of business!! Surgical competence? "Oh He know's his stuff!!" Did I say that already?? ;-)
