Dr Louie and the staff are always very professional and knowledgeable. They are always in good spirits, and I would highly recommend the doctor and the clinic.
Dr. Louie was superb, as well as the first clinician, the MA that did blood pressure and temp checks. [...]
Dr. Louie has an excellent bedside manner. He did a great job explaining my upcoming procedure and answering all my questions. He was kind and empathetic, as always.
Dr Atway Louie is an incredibly compassionate and genuine doctor. He always treats me with the upmost kindness and respect.
Dr Louie is the best. Professional and very attentive to my needs. Highly recommend him. His staff are also excellent in providing support for my recovery.
The resident MD explained the [...] procedure in great detail and drew diagrams for visual aide. Dr. Louie has a calm and gentle approach. I was excited to find out that he can perform nerve reconstruction because most micro surgeons don't provide that option. It opens up treatment options for the patients and shows his willingness to tailor his care to patient preference, which is very important from a patient perspective. The team also answered all my questions patiently. I left feeling confident about him, his team and the care they can provide.
Dr Louie was just amazing through every part of this experience!!
I love Dr. Louie very professional, patient and kind.
Dr. Louie is excellent. He listens and then suggests options. He understands what you are saying and speaks to you in understandable words (not just medical jargon) to come to a good solution.
Dr Louie is a great caregiver. He is thoughtful and interactive. I never feel like he is in a hurry.
Staff and Dr Louie are outstanding as usual
Dr Louie's whole team (that I've met) have been professional, compassionate, and communicative. Great experience each visit.
Dr Louie should be the standard for all doctors! My husband [...] and I believe he walks on water and doesn't get his ankles wet!!! He is one in a million!!!
Dr. Louie is the ultimate professional. He is kind, caring, dedicated, and showed me great compassion during an incredibly scary and difficult time in my life. Dr. Louie clearly communicated with me every step of the way, answering any questions I had and making me feel comfortable and confident about the procedures and what I could expect. He continued to do all of this in my most recent appointment. Dr. Louie genuinely cares; I'm so grateful to have met him and to work with him and his amazing team.
The doctor is an excellent, caring provider!
It was clear that Dr. Louie read my chart and knew who I was. The fact that he knew I had an infection in my port last November and knew exactly why I was there and what my journey was during my chemotherapy was wonderful and showed that he really cares about what he does. I could not have felt more seen or more safe!
Dr. Louie is great! I just wish there was a lymphedema expert who coordinated care. Everyone stays in their "lane" and no one tracks the big picture of the problem.
Dr Louie and his staff are friendly, emphatic and patient. Great staff!
Dr Louie is amazing!
Dr. Otway Louie is an amazing surgeon and wonderful human being! He has made my whole experience through this journey very special. He was very attentive to me before and after my procedures. Thank you!!
Also saw resident student before seeing Dr Louie. Both were very personable, thorough, and listened well to my concerns.
Great communication!
The resident that was working with Dr. Louie was wonderful, and then Dr. Louie was even better! The explanations about the surgical procedure, possible complications, rates of complications, expectations for recovery were all thorough and easy to understand. I was doubting myself about seeking out this procedure but left reassured that I was making a good decision.
The care I've received from Dr. Louie and his team (during this and every visit) has been excellent and I would recommend them to anyone.
