      Dr. Ma is truly one of the best physicians I've ever had. I've been seeing her since my liver transplant in 2019. She is kind, thorough, and extremely knowledgeable. She always takes time to listen, discuss my health and upcoming or past tests and procedures, and talk about my future health. She goes beyond caring about me as a patient, but cares about be as an individual, genuinely interested in my personal life as well and taking the time to really get to know me. She always responds to any test results or questions in MyChart in a timely manner.

      It was a real pleasure to see Dr. Ma again. 3+ years ago she found liver cancer and based on her credentials, I felt very certain I was in the right place. It is now three years since my diagnosis And recovery. I can't say enough about my care at Johns Hopkins. Dr Ma. Has a beautiful temperament and it's obvious she's an expert and her field. I am very proactive in my health and she totally respects my understanding of my own body. I feel blessed to have her as my doctor.
