Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Moh’s turned into MAJOR
Just like another review about Dr. Yen that I just read, the wait time between layers was 2+ hours, by which time the lidocaine had worn off and I had to have 5-6 MORE injections IN MY NOSE into a WOUND. EXTREMELY painful!! especially since Dr. Yen was not at all gentle NOR sympathetic. On top of that, a Moh’s is supposed to be performed to remove all the cancer and leave as much healthy skin as possible. But what started out as a lesion smaller than a pencil eraser, turned out to be an incision that was 4 inches long & very disfiguring. That’s because Dr. Yen rushed through it - after I & 5 other patients - waited 2.5 hours in between layers - and removed a CHUNK instead of just another small layer - to save time. Additionally, I read his Notes in my chart. It contains lie after lie. I am NOT happy & will NEVER recommend him.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Yen?
I've been a patient of Dr. Yen for two mohs surgeries. The first mohs that I had done two years ago on a basal cell carcinoma on my forehead has reoccured. Mohs surgery is supposed to be 99% curable, so I'm not sure if he removed all of the cancer during surgery. I also had mohs surgery 6 weeks ago for another bcc on the left side of my forehead. If I could go back in time I would never have gone to him again. This place is so slow. The process takes 1.5-2.5 hours to check the margins of the tissue sample. By the time you go back in the lidocaine has worn off and you need to have more shots again, including in the wound. My surgery took from 8-4 with 3 passes and closure of the wound. It was traumatic. The wound got infected, and I was put on a 10 day antibiotic. I just had mohs surgery with a fellowship trained surgeon. What a difference! Each layer took 30 minutes. It was such a better experience! Please don't go to Dr. Yen. Find a fellowship mohs surgeon instead.
