Favorite Part About Being a Doctor
"I love when a patient confides in you and truly trusts you to help them improve their health. I feel honored to build that kind of relationship with my patients."
As a board-certified family medicine physician in Richmond, VA, Dr. Dandan Li makes providing excellent preventive care a priority for her patients. “I enjoy following my patients through their lives, building relationships with them, and being a trusted resource for them as they work to manage their health.”
With more than a decade of experience, Dr. Li enjoys working with patients of all ages, and she has significant expertise in geriatric medicine, women’s health across all ages, and obesity medicine.
She frequently helps patients navigate weight management issues and works with them through diet, exercise, and, if necessary, medication to achieve their goals.
"It’s fulfilling for me to work with patients dealing with chronic conditions and help them make progress to the point where we can hopefully ween them off their medications," she says.
Dr. Li graduated from the VCU School of Medicine in Richmond, and she completed her residency at Carle Foundation Hospital in Urbana, Illinois, where she was the chief resident. She previously worked as a primary care physician at Physicians of Family Medicine in Midlothian, VA.
Dr. Li is excited about transitioning to concierge medicine, where she can take the time to focus on every patient.
"I can’t wait to emphasize the personalized touch that creates great care for each patient. I feel like I’m off the conveyor belt of traditional primary care and can spend time with all my patients making sure they get the quality of care they deserve."
When it comes to her philosophy as a physician, it’s all about the relationship for Dr. Li.
"I just try to relate to my patients," she says. "I want my patients to view me as someone who doesn’t just tell them what to do. We are on a team together, and I want this to be a collaborative approach to getting them where they want to be."
When first meeting with a patient, Dr. Li likes to dive into the why.
"I want to understand what motivates you, what your goals are, what priorities you have right now and later in life," she says.
"Everyone is different. I want to listen to you and learn about your unique life and how your health is fitting into it."
Dr. Li and her husband began their careers in Illinois, but they are happy to be here in Richmond, where they’ve spent the majority of their lives.
She loves being outdoors – whether that’s working in the garden, hiking, or staying involved in their community.
Dr. Li also focuses on maintaining her own health and loves spending time on the James River, biking, and staying active.
