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.

Dr Yeh,is blessed with the hands of God!?
Dr Yeh explained everything in detail to me. He performed a neck and a back surgery on me. I have had a most new lease on life. I told him that he'Has the hands of God' and he truly does. I was very fortunate enough to have been referred to him!!I couldn't have asked for a better outcome.Has a great personality and bedside manner He has taken great after care on me. He is a Dr who really cares!!He didn't like my underweight condition and referred me to a RDA.Too me that shows an undeniable conviction to the health and CARE for his patients.Love Dr Yeh and we on the Central Coast are fortunate enough to have him here in our County.

Dr. Yeh is Great
Theme: Competent, Professional and Great Outcome: I saw Dr. Yeh in San Jose where he was practicing. He surgically removed a growing lipoma which had 'twisted itself around' very sensitive nerves affecting my left arm. If you placed pressure on the lipoma, a zinging sensation would travel down my arm into hand. Dr. Yeh really is a good physician. He has great bedside manner, a great personality and, most importantly, magnificent medical expertise. The Central Coast is lucky to have him here.

I never actually met Dr. Yeh, instead his PA Justin and nurse Jennifer met with me. They were smooth, professional, comfortable and did a great job of selling me an injection that I did not need performed in their office by a "specialist who flies in on Saturdays". When I shared with my reservations, both Justin and Jennifer became patronizing to me. I strongly suggest you look elsewhere for your neurological treatment needs. I smell something very fishy here.

Professional... then patronizing. – Dec 09, 2021

As a survivor of a near fatal collision, I deal with pain control solutions every day. So when I needed some help with a new nerve pinch that is slowly taking away the use of my left arm, I went to go see the folks at Central Coasts Neuro. They were great to work with and seemed quite capable of handling my needs at first. They suggested that a few injections should be tried before we go right in for spinal fusion surgery to fix the pesky pinch. When we booked the procedure time, I asked to speak with the doc or the anesthesiologist ahead of time to discuss pain control as the typical "fentanyl" injection used for most will not work on me because of drug interaction issues. They would not allow me to speak with them in advance (why not?). After 3 written requests to speak with the doc or the anesthesiologist in advance, they stopped responding to me. So of course I cancelled and went to UCLA in LA. They referred me directly to surgery because they thought it was the right approach.
