My surgery was 10 years ago, and my wife is about to have hip surgery and while we were doing our homework on her Dr, I thought about Dr. Khan li and the magic he did on me and how I'm so happy to have had him do my surgery. Besides the pains of the surgery itself I have been free of pain since. If it wasn't for Dr. Khan li I may still be in pain. Thank you, sir, for the great work you did a decade ago I am still enjoying every pain free, day of my life.
Best doctor! I would recommend Dr. Li for others going through neurosurgery. I came out without any symptoms from the surgery. He is kind and very knowledgeable. I am glad to be working with him in the future to see how my health proceeds. Centennial Hospital has taken care of me for 40 years and everyone is professional and kind.
I am so grateful that God led me to Dr Li and Emily!
They were patient and caring. They answered my questions and explained the procedure. Most importantly when my surgery was over so was my pain! They are very good at their job. Thank you both!
The doctor was great. The office staff was great!
I would highly recommend Dr. Li and his staff. He has now done 2 surgeries for me with great outcome. I was blessed to have been sent to him.
Good service.
Great Doctor!!
Always takes care of my needs.
We love Dr. Li!
