Very good at keeping conversation focused. Built up good relationship over many years.
Efficient, friendly, knowledgeable
Dr Coa took the time to listen and showed she cared about my health concerns. I feel very confident in the advise she gave me.
Great doctor and great staff
Dr Cao's style is a very good match for me. She is quick to pick up on areas where my knowledge and understanding are greater than the typical pt, and fills me in on knowledge I may be missing in a collaborative way that I find both warm and respectful of my intelligence. I especially like her approach /attitude when I bring up questions. It feels a bit like she's my more experienced, more knowledgeable lab partner, working together to solve a problem. I never feel talked down to, or brushed off. She's my favorite GP.
