No tengo la facilidad de expresi?n,ni palabras para poder describir la atenci?n del Dr Xu,El respeto,la educaci?n y amabilidad que recibo es incomparable,ellos son de esas personas que hacen sentir al paciente que entre mas educaci?n y posici?n ellos tienen,son mas humildes y con una gran educaci?n, para ellos no hay color ni razas, se siente la igualdad que ellos tienen para todos aus pacientes,son personas de inmenso y gran coraz?n, Dios le bendiga siempre Dr Xu,gracias a el y las manos de Dios tengo vida,Dios le bendiga siempre...

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.
