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!!!!)

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.

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!

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.

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.
