I think Dr. Li is an outstanding surgeon. I say this because my incisions healed well and I appreciate a very frank and serious doctor when it comes to my own health. During my visits with him he is quite serious during the appointment. Was happy to see him smile during my 2 week post-op appointment as I dropped a considerable amount my first two weeks.
My first impression of Dr. Li, was that he is a straight forward Dr. These are the Dr's I toward to gravitate to. His office staff was wonderful to interact with and answered ALL of my questions withouth hesitation. When I met with him he was very thorough about the pre-op and the post-op care. He made sure I knew exactly what I wanted and was aware of how my life would change. He went over several times about the risks of the surgery. After the Surgery I saw him approx 4 times. His bedside manner was wonderful as well as the hospital staff. I couldn't have been more taken care of!!!

My pre-op and post-op experience with Dr. Li and the South San Francisco Kaiser team has been intense, but good. The pre-op Kaiser process takes time, but he (and they) set out a clear preparation / education path that helped me transition well into the post-op lifestyle. After this process, I went into surgery feeling confidence in him and faith in myself ~ not bad! Unfortunately, I had complications(a leak)which included a hospitalization and extensive home recovery. Dr. Li has been cordial, informative, professional and attentive throughout -- I couldn't ask for better.

Dr. Li was professional, knowledgeable and caring. Many people said that he lacked bedside manner but I found him to be right up my alley. He answered all of my questions and even seemed a little tickeled that I had the nerve to ask him some of the questions that I did. I told him \"I did my homework\" and he responded to me \"I see and I like that..\" I left his office feeling confident and safe.
Ok, so maybe a bit superficial, but Dr. Li is a cutie! haha Doesn't hurt that he is nice to look at. I have met him on three occasions besides surgery. He was reserved at first, but he is a really nice guy. He explained things to me in terms I could understand. He answers any questions I have and he does it in a nice pleasent manner. He is not critical at all. He is very positive and encouraging. He is a Kaiser doctor, and their pre surg care and post is phenomenal. They are all about the education. I do not know what the other doctors there at Kaiser are like, but he is great.
