I am so thankful my primary care doctor sent me to Dr. Li and my mother recommended her as well. Dr. Li is an amazing doctor, she gives you all the tools you need to be successful while going through your journey and even when your doubting yourself she gives you the encouragement you need to keep going. I had my surgery in august 2014 and I have lost over 60lbs and I feel great. I know anyone who chooses Dr. Li as their bariatric surgeon will be pleased with her above and beyond service!
Dr. Christina Li is an extremely competent bariatric surgeon and I am so happy my primary care physician recommended I talk to her. The first time I met Dr. Li was at a group meeting to get information about the different types of weight loss surgery, and Dr. Li answered all concerns I had. She made it very clear that bariatric surgery is not a magic way to lose weight, but you must workout, stick to the diet and follow-up with her. She is truly interested in you, and you know that with her interest in what is happening in your life when you see her at follow-ups. I just saw her for my one year anniversary and have lost a lot of weight, but I still have 30 pounds to go (making that over 100 pounds off my body). Also, I was treated with wonderful care at the hospital, and Dr. Li's staff has always been available to answer any questions or concerns. I really think Dr. Li is a fantastic doctor and would recommend her to anyone considering bariatric surgery.

Dr li was my surgeon and she was wonderful from the start I had my surgery on October 27,2014 and when I started I was 315 pounds and now I'm 1 month post surgery and I'm already 280 and it feels great dr li is the absolute best and I wou recommend her to anyone that was thinking about getting the surgery dr li and her staff gave me all the information I would need to be successful in my weight loss journey o and by the way I had the sleeve surgery thanks so much dr li my family and I really appreciate you and all that you do
Dr. Li has been a wonderful person to work with through my weight loss process. I recently had my surgery on October 20, 2014 and she and her staff have walk me through the transition from over eating to learning how to eating and what changes to expect. She and her staff have just been exceptional in the process and I will definitely recommend Dr. Li to anyone who is interested in having Bariatric Surgery.
I am one week post op and Dr. Li was my surgeon. She has always given me clear, concise answers to my questions, never rushed me and showed genuine concern for my health. On the day of surgery I was not the basket case I thought I'd be due to being well prepared with all the details she provided me with beforehand. I will always thank Dr. Li for her caring manor, her humor and her expertise while being under her care.
My first impression of Dr. Li was that she was a capable, dynamic surgeon. My impression has not changed over time. The office staff is supportive and helpful in getting all of the paperwork and testing completed in a timely manner. I would tell future patients that they have selected a skill and compassionate doctor who has your best interest as a priority. Dr. Li does emphasize that you follow the aftercare appointments that are scheduled with her and the rest of the staff. She addressed all of the risks of surgery. Overall I could not have had a better surgeon. I like a balance of surgical competence and bedside manner.
This experience has been the most humbling and scariest decision I have every made. But through it all it was the best decision I have made. I would like to thank Dr. Li for her patients, kindness, professionalism, and a host of other words I could use to describe how she played a huge part in my decision to move forward. At every turn, pre-op and post-op, she and her staff kept me informed, showed care and concern for what I was about to face. Having tried to seek care at another area hospital, it was meeting and talking with Dr. Li that made me the most comfortable. The only complaint, if I could complain is that sometimes appointments took longer then I would have liked them, but I'm not the most patient person. These are just my personal opinions and experiences with Dr. Li and her staff. I can't thank you all enough and appreciate you tremendously!!!
Dr Li is the best Bariatric surgeon in Greater Baltimore and surrounding counties. The sinai bariatric team are truly a joy to work with from the time you make you first appointment. Dr Li has not only given her patients a tool to fight with but also educates you on all aspects of your journey. You never feel like a patient or on an assembly line. She spends quality time with you and answers any and all questions. She has surpassed all of my expectations and restored my quality of Life. I highly recommend Dr Christina Li to anyone who is looking in to bariatric surgery. 100%!!!!
I started out 282.5 lbs and already knew I had asthma, allergies and hypothyroidism. After many unsuccessful diets, I spoke with my family doctor about getting bariatric surgery. He said he thought this was an awesome idea!!! I found Dr. Li in Baltimore, MD. SHE IS AWESOME!!! I cannot say enough about her team. I have never been treated poorly or different there. Always haven't been treated with respect. After the testing was finished prior to surgery, I found that I needed a CPAP unit and that I may have Celiac Disease. Upon hearing this, Dr. Li took time out of her very busy schedule to call me and speak to me about options, etc. We spoke a good three times before I made up my mind. She would go over different things she was looking up because my health was her utmost concern. I had the surgery on 3/20/14 and Sinai Hospital staff was AWESOME as well! I cannot fathom where I'd be today (probably even bigger than to start with) if I had not found Dr. Li. Now, today (only a week later) and down 17.5 lbs. GOD BLESS YOU ALL! If you have any questions, give her a call. She will NOT let you down.
I had my surgery Feb 2013 by Dr. Li. She was caring, compassionate, and showed a great deal of urgency into wanting to get me healthy again. She gave me professional, yet personalized care, as I remember her ending every visit with a hug... "what doctor does that"? I knew from those meetings that I wanted to entrust her with my surgery over ANY other doctor. I will forever be grateful for the "NEW ME" and she'd be happy to know that I'm doing everything according to her direction to maintain my new healthly lifestyle.
