Celebrating our 500th focused ultrasound case & Dr. Liming Qiu’s birthday last week was a true pleasure. I’m incredibly proud of our entire team here at Penn, and thankful for the trust our patients put in us! Looking forward to 500 more! #notremorleftbehind

Having returned to Philadelphia where I grew up, I often have the pleasure of taking care of my family and friends. This lovely patient happened to be the father of a friend from high school! Means a lot to me to be able to help people I know with their tremor! Amazing result!
