I believe in treating each of my patients with consideration to his or her unique circumstances. The best part about my job is making a difference in my patients’ healthcare outcomes and quality of life.

My favorite part about working here at Ohio State the opportunity to work in an academic setting as well as the access that we have to cutting edge technology.

Very good

I met with Kurt, Dr Li's PA, & he showed me my xrays & explained how bad my knew are. As an RN of 46 years and a multiple joint replacement recipient, I have a good deal of knowledge of the process. Kurt treated me with the respect I deserve and made sure there are no gaps in my l knowledge of this procedure & my recovery. Plus, his marvelous sense of humor lightened up a visit that can be depressing. Dr Li came in and discussed my past medical history and made sure I had no questions. His approach to the visit was like Kurt's, calm, reassuring and kind. .

Dr. Li is an outstanding surgeon and always tries to answer any and all questions. On my appointment day he was running very behind and did not appear to have sufficient staff/resident support or assistance. This problem does not appear to be uncommon.
