“Dr. Liebel helped my colleagues and I appreciate that all of us strive to make sense of our world, and a significant part of our job as professionals is to recognize and start at our patient’s level of understanding. That insight coupled with Dr. Liebel’s synthesis of the research literature on effective physician-patient communication was helpful for us to further pursue patient-centered care.”
— Ralph A. Gillies, PhD MCG Associate Dean of Faculty Development, Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University
“Rigorous, totally engaged! Dr. Liebel is able to take difficult concepts and not only break them down and make them simpler, but give examples that people who have no background or training in health literacy or communication can relate to.”
