Dr LY is a highly effective and empathetic doctor. He has all your charts and records at his fingertips and he is extremely fast as staring in on any event, test, or surgical report in a matter of a very few seconds. He remembers my history from previous visits in his memory, and is undeniably the best doctor I have ever had.

Excellent Doctor! Very well trusted!

  Dec 23, 2024
MA was really super (actually all MAs, RNs, front office staff I have ever had contact with at this office lead to me think "wow, that person is an excellent employee!"). Dr Ly is the best MD I've ever had (I've had some really good MDs at this clinic) - kind, patient, knowledgeable, human, aware of my needs. I love that Dr Ly allows me to be an active partner in my care, not just ordering tests because the algorithm says it's time but listens to me.

  Dec 16, 2024

Dr. LY is an excellent provider! The thing is his practice is extremely large and It Is so hard to get appointment with him when the patient really needs I It is good that there are other providers in his clinic and they can be seeing sooner But they are Not Dr.LY !!! He is soo good at answering messages in MyHealrh but this is not a substitute for a visit. We love seeing him that's why we picked him for our family doctor!

Dr Ly is the great!

  Jul 18, 2024
My positive response regarding being able to get an appointment was based on the fact that I know I have to call several months in advance to schedule a physical. My positive response regarding having enough time with Dr. Ly at this appointment was based on the fact that I know doctors are impossibly tightly scheduled. I want to be clear that Dr. Ly did nothing to make me feel rushed in any way - he made sure my questions/concerns were all addressed. However, I am always aware that the "system" allows a very limited amount of time for an appointment - an unfortunate development for both medical professionals and their patients.

  Jul 10, 2024
Dr. Ly and I are both very aware of the situations.Dr. Lay's follow up (post lab tests) was exemplary:)

  Jul 06, 2024
Ben Ly is the best primary care doctor I have ever had. I'm almost 80 so that says a lot. Our conversations about my health, my life, concerns about future health issues, etc are always well considered and inviting to respond and engaging. It is like a rich conversation with a good friend and colleague.

Both Dr. Ben V Ly and staff at Legacy have provided excellent and caring service over the past 13 years(?)In the last year, Dr. Ly agreed to see my sister and she finds him to be the best physician she has ever used. Dr. Ly has been extremely caring, a champion for the patient, and excellent at coordinating specialty care and needs on behalf of the patient.

One of Dr. Ly's assistants answered my messages on MyHealth and did not know what was going on. Felt he(?) should have left it to Dr. Ly to answer the discussion we had been having.
