She is an excellent doctor I've been suffering from extremely high blood pressure and my former doctors couldn't get it under control for 18 years, so I decided I needed a new doctor so when I went to Doctor GAO needless to say I wasn't expecting anything different from, but she has completely turned my blood pressure around, normally my bp would 200/130 with 3 medications from my former Doctors. Dr GAO worked with me and found the right combination of meds that worked for me now my BP is 117/68. I couldn't believe it I had to do a double take and checked it again to make sure. She has tenacity she won't stop until she corrects the issue. I absolutely love her. My health has greatly improved with her as my doctor.
