Dr Liang was polite and asked for my input several times. She clearly worked to put me at ease. I felt like there were a couple of questions where she gave more general answers than I would have wanted to hear, but I never felt dismissed or rushed.

Dr. Liang, while competent, seemed to downplay my feelings and really talked down to me. She also asked more invasive questions than I think should be asked about my mental health care.
