        Dr. Xu is fabulous, he is clear and direct. He answers all questions with respect. He makes you feel like his sole focus even though you know he has many patients, you never feel like he is in a rush to get to the next thing. He creates a calm atmosphere that provides an atmosphere of deep trust. His medical care and advice put me at great ease throughout my entire treatment prior to and during this follow up visit.
