South San Francisco Medical Center Kaiser Hospital
Well, my first impression of Dr. Le was a good one. He was very understanding and supportive. He and his office staff were all very nice and personable.
I was told Dr. Li was very abrupt and brief with people. However, I thought he was very kind and seemed genuinely concerned for my health. His staff was great at getting appointments made around my schedule although a few staff members seemed rude over the phone.rnrnI would rate him as one of the best surgeons in his field. I have had zero complications and feel wonderful!
Dr. Le was fantastic! He was very sincere, open & honest. I was pleased with his professional demeanor and the level of care and expertise he displayed. He took the time to reassure my family as I was rolled away to the operating room. His compassion helped set their minds at ease. I am able to email him throught the Kaiser website, and he is alway quick to respond. I can not say enough about my positive experience with Dr. Le and the entire Bariatric program at Kaiser SSF!
I have had a few appointments with Dr. Le, and I have been pleased with our interactions. My first thought upon meeting him was that he was quite young. However, Dr. Le handles himself professionally and is willing to answer any questions that I have. I never feel that I am being rushed out of the office with him.rnrnAny future patients should note that Dr. Le is rather soft spoken but quite intelligent. He's also quite thorough and ensures that his patients understand the surgery that they are about to embark upon. If there are any questions, he will be the one to answer them quickly.
Dr Li lacks a bit in people skills. But in a pinch like my emergency he was professional and helpful.
Kaiser has a fabulous pre-op and post-op care program. It takes forever to have the surgery but by then you really know what you're getting into.
What Dr Li lacked in bedside manner he more than made up for in his manner in handling my emergency - internal bleeding needing 3 units. He seems to have a fine reputation though he was not my choice - they had an opening and I jumped in. I really had no preference who did the surgery. All the Kaiser bariatric surgeons have a fine reputation.
Dr. Robert Li didn't have alot to say during our two appointments so far, but what little he said was important. His bio is impressive and he has performed many surgeries even though he looks so young! Dr. Li is listed on this website as being from Burlingame but is now at Kaiser South San Francisco.
My first impression of Dr. Li was that his bedside manner needed a little work...he was a little cool and rushed. But then I thought to myself...this man is so busy, he is seeing so many people each day and trying to provide as much information to each of us and gather information from us in such a limited time. I knew then that I needed to look at him through different eyes. I had told him that I had read his bio and was very pleased that he was going to be my surgeon which prompted a wide grin from him. I then also apologized upfront for any proclimations of love I may impose upon him when being awakened from anesthesia! He thought that was pretty funny and we were off to a great appointment and an agreement that we would both forget anything I might say to embarrass either of us! Dr. Li's staff is very helpful, very informative and always friendly. They each treat you as though you are a family member of theirs and show true excitement for you on your upcoming surgery.
