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.

Absolutely the best Oncologist
Dr. Ye is an outstanding physician. He is compassionate, thorough, is an excellent listener and I couldn’t have had a better outcome with the cancer treatment I received from him. I highly recommend him as well as all of the staff at Vista Oncology.

Dr. Ye is the Best. He cares for his patients!
Dr. Ye (Vista Oncology in Olympia, Lacey and Shelton) is the BEST. He goes for solutions outside the basic norms. Always looking for new and innovative treatments, while closely watching the cancer patients blood quality (Board Cert Oncology and Hematology). Can’t say enough good about him. He’s more than a great doctor, he’s a good man who cares. The Vista clinic in West Olympia (where I go for on-going cancer care) is busy. Of course, many people appreciate the consistently HIGH quality of Dr. ye and his staff.

Great dr. with a lot of experience

Dr. Joseph Z. YE is hands down the best oncologist in Olympia, WA. He provided expert advice on my lung surgery, walking me through every detail of the treatment plan with patience and clarity. Dr. YE took the time to explain my CT scans and PET scan results, ensuring I fully understood each step. He even referred me to a top lung surgery specialist, which gave me great confidence during such a critical time.Post-surgery, Dr. YE continued to provide exceptional care through regular appointments and blood tests, carefully monitoring my recovery. His attention to detail and compassionate approach have made a world of difference in my health journey. I highly recommend Dr. YE to anyone seeking top-tier oncology care! US Veteran Yao Pan

Cancer Patient – Jan 27, 2022
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Ye?
Most arrogant doctor I have ever seen, and after over 10 years fighting cancer, that is saying something. He cared more about grandstanding in front of a trainee and arguing with me about my established medical history than my care and he discriminated against me based on my insurance, claiming no one could "Afford" me getting pet scans as required in my treatment plan done up by a specialist in my specific cancer. Which by the way was also uttered by Doctor Kang at this facility. They care more about the faction of a cent they paid into my care than my care itself. I had to essentially beg for a scan, humiliated the entire time. To top it all off they got super uppity about me missing an appointment that was contingent on a PET scan they were supposed to schedule with a local PET scan provider and instead sent the referral to someplace I have never heard of and when I finally get ahold of them they claim to have never received it.

This clinic is terrible!! They do not return your calls; the dr is more interested in statistics than people; the place is old and depressing. The only good thing is the billing person

Dr. Ye has been my oncologist for ten years. He is a skilled, caring physician who has seen me through colon cancer. If I have asked him questions or wanted his opinion on treatment options he has been straightforward in his answers. I have in the past trusted him with my life, and I would again. I have remained cancer free; I wholeheartedly recommend him.
