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.

Highly recommend!
I highly recommend Dr. Holly Yong. I first saw her after noticing a lump and discharge, and she quickly arranged a mammogram, MRI, and biopsy. She explained every possibility in detail, ensuring I understood my options.When my biopsy confirmed breast cancer, I was terrified—especially since my sister had passed from aggressive, fast-growing breast cancer. My tumor grew rapidly within weeks, making me fear the worst. Dr. Yong was incredibly thorough and compassionate, explaining everything clearly and even using sketches to help me understand.Given my family history and tumor growth, I wanted a mastectomy ASAP, and Dr. Yong expedited my surgery, coordinating with plastic surgery. I also consulted City of Hope and Cedars-Sinai, and both confirmed her treatment plan was right.I had my mastectomy three weeks ago, and pathology showed my tumor was 10 cm but had not spread. I truly believe Dr. Yong saved my life!
