Philosophy

Dr. Liao approaches patients struggling with obesity without judgment. She is in-tune to the reality that extra weight is not due to a personal failure, but a complex mixture of physical and genetic characteristics along with behavioral adaptations. 

You are unique... and we don’t believe in a cookie cutter, one-size-fits-all treatment plan. 

You are special ... and your life experiences matter. 

You are worthy ... of better health and wellness. 

You are more than the sum of your hormones ... and obesity is a treatable disease.
