Biography

Dr. Liu is as an Associate Professor of Otolaryngology, and by courtesy, of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at Stanford University School of Medicine. He is director of the Stanford Sleep Surgery Fellowship, and preceptor to the Stanford Oculoplastic Surgery Fellowship. He is a Stanford Biodesign Faculty Fellow Alumnus.

After graduating from Stanford University with a degree in Biology, Dr. Liu received medical and dental degrees from the University of California-San Francisco (UCSF). He was a former Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) Research Scholar and spent a year at the NIH. After oral and maxillofacial surgery residency at UCSF, he completed the Stanford sleep surgery fellowship in 2014 with the Department of Otolaryngology and sleep surgery pioneer Dr. Robert Riley.

Dr. Liu practices the full scope of sleep apnea surgery including nasal, palate, tongue base, hypoglossal nerve stimulation, genioglossus advancement, and maxillomandibular advancement (MMA). He introduced adult maxillary expansion (DOME) for OSA with Professor Christian Guilleminault in 2015, and has continued to update the comprehensive sleep surgery protocol at Stanford.

He is also routinely referred patients who need complex facial trauma reconstruction and orthognathic surgery.

Dr. Liu's active areas of research include clinical phenotyping to optimize sleep surgery outcome, virtual surgical planning for facial skeletal surgery, and neuromodulation of the upper airway. He has given keynote talks nationally and internationally at preeminent conferences across specialties. He has published over 90 scientific articles and medical texts, with original scientific work on sleep surgery.

Verified SHC Patient

Dr. Liu was amazing, once he was able to join the appt. He was very up front with my wife and I at the beginning of the appt. and wanted to know why we were here. He wanted to be sure we were not here for just cosmetic reasons, and that there really was a medical issue. Once he review the tests of my pallet, and sinus openings, he realized there was a genuine need for me to be here. He listened to our concerns, and also was very open about our options, the risks, the benefits, how the procedure worked and challenges there might be with the insurance. He also was very reassuring that even though I may be the oldest to go thru the surgery, if that happens, he was very confident that it would be successful. I was also very impressed with Dr. Yoon and her ability to fly up from LAX. She also made me feel very confident that this procedure would work for me. Very knowledgeable and friendly.

Verified SHC Patient

it would be a dream come true to be able to get a sit down with the CEO to discuss this survey... Dr Liu has truly saved my life. After a terrible car accident in Uganda and sub par hospital care/repairs in Africa, Dr Liu and his team have completely reconstructed my face. No, it is not yet perfect. But Dr. Liu has told me he will support me to do what it takes to get there and we are working with a care team across three departments (Byers Eye Clinic and Facial Plastics). The care my Stanford doctors and Dr Liu and his fellows have showed us unmatched. I am finally starting to look like myself again and with two surgeries remaining I feel like a have. renewed chance at life. it's shocking to completely lose your face at 31 years old. Stanford saved it. from designing their first ever custom orbital floor implant to rebuild my eye socket to encouraging me to continue to push for perfection and cannot thank Dr. Liu and my care team enough. I have faced the global spectrum of healthcare from a rural African village hospital to a team of specialist at Stanford and I wish I could get onto one of your commercials to say that not only do your doctors innovate to save lives, they do so with care and a hunger to be the best.
