You need the category "exemplary" to describe my care provider - Le. She was one of the best MD's I've ever had an appointment with. Understood my problem immediately and is working on the most appropriate treatment.

SHC Patient, Feb 2016
Difficult of assess confidence on first visit but she seemed competent.
SHC Patient, Jan 2016
Dr. Le was so knowledgeable. Several doctors on Maui never found the neurological problem i had. For 3years i have been hospitalized numerous times, rushed by 911 to the ER, for seizure-like tremors and involuntary vocalizations, like growling, beyond my control. She found the problem and offered solition, and weeks later i have had zero episodes. Dr. Le is Super Woman/Doctor
SHC Patient, Nov 2015
After test was done, NO ONE called me about the results or a follow-up appointment. After several weeks I called, they sent my report and I had to ask for a follow up appointment.
SHC Patient, Nov 2015
Very thorough & professional & compassionate.

Didn't understand when she said it was a metabolic problem.
SHC Patient, Mar 2014
Doctor very impressive.

Dr. tried to view MRI's disc on 3 separate computers but service was down. Dr. said she would call me after viewing MRI's and discussing them with radiologist. I received a call in 2 days.
SHC Patient, Dec 2013
Time doctor spent in explaining condition in a way I could easily understand.
SHC Patient, Dec 2013
