Wennie C Liao, MD

Dr. Liao is by far the best dermatologist I have seen in both Santa Cruz and Santa Clara counties. She is skilled, patient, personable and the results get are better than expected. Her staff has been efficient and professional. My only complaint would be that you have to schedule early since she fills up so fast!

I had a cyst removed from my elbow by her. She was wonderful.

Is this the same Dr. Liao that I go to? She is always very thorough when I go in for check-​ups. She is also very sweet when dealing with my health issues (yes, I am OVER 50). My husband and I both go to her and we have never had to wait longer than 10 minutes.

I don’t agree with the remarks from the other Unilocalers. Compared to other Derms I’ve seen, Dr. Liao was very good. Ive had two appointments and the staff in the office has been both kind and professional each time. Dr. Liao has never kept me waiting (something which my old Derm always did) and she took her time answering my questions. Most recently, I had to have a small cyst removed from the corner of my eye. This procedure was done by my previous doc and it took him twenty minutes and left me with a black eye and swelling. Dr. Liao was thorough and before you could say, «you will feel a pinch» it was over. My eye is totally fine with no bruising at all. I will continue to see her as needed and would suggest her to my friends.

We (wife, kids myself) have visited with Dr Liao for several years. We have nothing but praise for her. She is professional, courteous but most importantly, a really good dermatologist. From the moment I met her, I felt that I could trust and confide in her. I would recommend her to anyone who needs to see a dermatologist.

Dr. Liao was very sweet and friendly but not thorough enough. Was prescribed some expensive medicine and that was it. Went to see another doctor today and was told the cause of my problem (genetic, not random). He said my previous dermatologist should have concluded this if she had done a more thorough job. Looking back and comparing the two, I completely agree.

I always find her to be very kind and professional. And very respectful about age. She describes age-​related skin blemishes as «older but wiser». A great doctor. I refer people to her all the time.

Rude and ageist. She acted very superior and went out of her way to convey that she looked down on people over ~ 50. This is one of the worst doctor visits I have ever had. She was in a hurry to terminate the visit before addressing all my concerns (before 20 minutes was up) so she could have me back and start all over with the very high expense of handling the first item. After burning something she said that she’d never treated such a thing with this treatment before. Now I see why: it came back twice as large as before she treated it. I am going to drive to Redwood City to a good dermatologist I know next time.
