Patient Reviews
Aug 08, 2023
Sorry for the belated review of this most awesome doctor, my first visit was July 20,2021 on a referral form another similarly awesome doctor. Dr. Gao is most friendly, takes time to listen to his patient and provide professional advice. He has great support staff in his office and most recommendable as PCP. Blessings, Peace & All Goodness!
