Idea of Care

Patients are my priority. I take extra care to explain all the processes and procedures to them to relieve anxiety and answer their questions. In the clinic setting, I believe it’s important to not only take the time to explain conditions and treatments to patients but to involve them in their health care. This empowers patients to take control of their health and make positive changes. Through my past work and clinical experiences, I have been able to cultivate strong communication skills that help me develop a rapport and trusting relationship with patients as we work together for the benefit of their health.

Lien enjoys reading, hiking, exploring parks with her family and Detroit Lions football.
