Dr Ly is a caring and knowledgeable doctor . He rates the highest marks in every phase of his work. He is a credit to the medical profession.
Dr. Ly is a blessing to my husband....he listens carefully and always gently and thoroughly explains the issues of concern. There is increasing memory loss and need to address the consequences. Dr. Ly handled explaining that to my husband so that he really "got it" without resistance and his usual frustration over NOT being in charge (for which I am more than grateful!!!!)
I am always excited to visit Dr.Ly. It's a highlight of my day and I feel very lucky to have such a positive relationship with my doctor :)
I cannot recommend Dr. Ly highly enough and consider myself extremely fortunate to have him as my PCP. I am a trans woman with a background in healthcare and he is knowledgeable, caring, respectful, and has a wonderful bedside manner!
It's always been great experience. Grateful to have Dr. Ly as my primary care provider. He's thorough and personable as well.
My appointment with Dr Ben was for an annual checkup. We discussed changing some one of my medications and tests needed to make that decision. He set up the tests and followed up. We are in the process of deciding what the next steps are. He is always very proactive. I broke my wrist about 10 months ago. Even though he is not the one that did the surgery I spoke with him to get his Input because I trust him so much.
I have recommended Dr. Ben Ly to others. I not only rely on his advice, I deeply appreciate that I am his patient. He is the best: intelligent, engaging, personable, kind, thoughtful and thorough. My only hope is that I'm able to continue with him as my physician for as long as I live.
Visiting Dr. Ly is like spending time with an old friend. He is caring and compassionate. I appreciate his openness to eastern medicine.
Great listener and solution seeker
There just wasn't enough time for a new patient appointment. Otherwise all was great.
Outstanding as usual!
Dr Ly is caring, thorough, and knowledgeable. As a trans patient, seeking medical care can feel scary sometimes, but this entire office (from receptionists, to MA, to nurses to MD) respected my pronouns and provided exceptional trans competent care. I have never felt more safe or better cared for by a provider. I really appreciate how transparent Dr Ly is with my care and how much I feel like I am making informed choices about my health. This is an excellent team and I would recommend them to anyone, thank you!
Excellent care!
Dr. Ly is an exceptionally knowledgeable and empathetic doctor. He's the best I've ever had in my years!
Dr. Ly is very kind, attentive, and easy to be around. He explains things very clearly and covered every concern I had during my appointment as well as after. I look forward to continue seeing him as my primary care provider.

Dr. Ly has provided me with excellent healthcare for the last 7 years. He listens, he respects my choices, he's kind and thoughtful. I feel very fortunate to have him as my PCP.
Dr Ly listens to my problems and is very competent.
My main health concerns are related to lungs, heart and lower back. During my regular check-up, my doctor definitely checked in with me about my lung- and heart-related issues but not about lower back. I was not bothered by my lower back on the day of the visit and for that reason, I did not think to bring up. However, as the visit was annual physical, it would have been ideal that lower back Issue was discussed during the visit, considering I was receiving PT within the last 6 months.
Dr. Ben Ly is my health provider since I am employed in Legacy and I am always satisfied everytime I visit him because of his respect, knowledgeable and very accomodating traits which makes me feel so comfortable and open to our conversation. In this way, it brings a very good patient- doctor relationship. 5 Star to Dr. Ben Ly!!!

To my pain specialist clerks and nurses; they have claimed to call me on my phone for a doctor home call visit ' but I never received that call.. I have waited for an hour, and they say I missed the call. But I don't think they called.. Their phone number was never recorded on my phone. That has happened twice. Now, I have to go in person to visit my doctor.
