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.

Great experience and an amazing surgeon!
Both my daughter and I have used Dr. Derek Yang for gall bladder surgery at United Regional. He is a terrific surgeon, a great communicator, and has a wonderful bedside manner. What an amazing addition he is to the medical community in Wichita Falls!
