It's very unfortunate that will be retiring because of the elimination of his practice.

After Optum has run the place into the ground, I can no longer recommend, especially as you shutter the entire oncology department. Optum SUCKS!

I would recommend Dr. Li to anyone. However, you are closing his Dept. & He will be retiring early.

I understand the oncology department is being dissolved. IDr. Li had followed my MGUS for about 30 years. I trust him and have relied greatly upon him for monitoring that condition; and recently more actively for renal cell carcinoma and follow up for nephrectomy. I will have to look far and wide (and fear I will not find) a new oncologist with the interest, professional acumen and knowledge that Dr. Li posseses. His knowledge of his field of practice, his ability to put his patients at ease by realistically teaching and advising about any number of conditions, and his genuine caring for his patients (at a very scary time in their lives) is truly remarkable. He will be missed indeed.

Dr. Li is one of the best doctors I have ever had. He is complete in his explanations and what is happening. I will truly miss not being able to see him.

Dr. Li has more than earned his reputation as one of the best and most respected oncologists in the Seattle Area. I have been very grateful for his expertise through an extremely harrowing process and I am furious at Optum's decisions to disrupt care for all the patients in his department.

Dr Li is such an expert at what he does. He has always had the perfect mix of clarity and empathy when talking with me about options and my condition as a whole. Optum is losing such a wonderful practitioner, and his patients are devastated.

He discussed the pros and cons of providers at other practices, since the Optum Oncology service will be gone

The whole Optum staff is of the highest caliber. Dr. Li is the most exceptional doctor that I have met. Please do not close the Oncology Department.

Dr. Henry Li is an exceptional oncologist that provides outstanding care to his patients. I am very angry with Optum and United Health Care for shutting down oncology department and only given him 3 months notice. I am a human being that Dr. Li has saved/extended my life. You treat us like dog poop that is picked up and discarded. I hope all of you and your love ones are struck with incurable cancer and treated with such disdain as you have treated Dr. Henry Li & his staff & his patients. You are the lowest of the low human beings.

Dr Li is very good at explaining tests and results and any need for follow-up. He listens well and show interest in and concern for his patients. I have a lot of confidence in his medical expertise.

I feel very confident in and appreciative of the care given by Dr Li. He must be very busy, but he never shows any need for speed. Optum must make every effort to retain his services.
