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.

NEVER calls with test results, huge liability.
I had been seeing Dr. Yang for years as my PCP. I have many medical needs and had gotten MRI's to rule out concerning issues, ultrasounds, cardiology heart monitor, etc. NEVER, NOT ONCE DID DR. YANG OR ANYONE FROM HER OFFICE CALL ME WITH TEST RESULTS. I waited months, called the office, nothing. The last time I went to see Dr. Yang, she left me in a room for over 1 hour alone and then laughed when she came in and I was anxious that I was left alone for that long. Her response when I said no one called me with results was 'oh, that's weird.' I would never recommend this doctor to anyone.

Amazing Doctor!
I have been seeing Dr. Yang since 2015 and she is wonderful! She is very thorough, she looks at the whole person and the situation, she validated your concerns, and works collaboratively with you in a solution. Every time I brought a problem to her she had reasonable next steps to take to address the problem. Her staff at her last location were always sweet but I still need to visit the new location more to get a better feel for it. So lucky I have her as my PCP!

Worst doctor I’ve ever had.
Dr. Yang and her staff are feckless and incompetent. Instead of putting the needs of patients first and foremost, Yang only looks out for herself and pads her billing hours for needless appointments. She refuses to fill scripts she knew were being taken for literally decades and repeatedly misdiagnosed simple ailments. Look for another doctor before wasting your valuable time.

"First, do no harm" is the opposite of Dr. Yang
Left this doc for new one. If you enjoy being treated like a child, having un-necessary drugs pushed on you while having the only script denied, having staff lie to you, promising to change incorrect visit "open notes" but never do, having un-necessary and multiple referrals ($$$) advised, and a great and disturbing lack of trust - then this is your doc! My doc quit the practice, and the practice gave me Yang. Biggest mistake ever. I never, never, never write reviews but I am so irritated and gobsmacked that I feel I must. My health and well being are paramount to me, and every time I leave Yang's office I feel like I was run over by a truck. She totally discredits anything I say, and is condescending. My only solace is knowing that the laws of reciprocity are at work. Maybe it's just me she dislikes. If that's the case, then she is also very unprofessional.

I left the practice of Dr. Yang after just one visit. She tested me for things that were completely unnecessary (calcium deficiencies is just one example), after I told her I was a minimalist, and did not want it, and I was billed $1000 beyond health coverage, and told by insurance the tests were all unnecessary. She is a very disrespectful doctor just trying to over bill patients for her own profits.

I have been Dr. Yang's patient for about 2 years. She is very patient and takes the time to hear all of my concerns and give in depth, detailed advice and plans for treatment. She actively asks for any other concerns, which is different than the typical doctor rushing you out the door! She gave me actual good recommendations for chronic issues I've had to live with (no other doctor had any recommendations that worked). She makes sure she knows/remembers everything about me since my previous visit so that our appointment can be very productive. The staff and nurses are all very friendly and easy to speak with in person and by phone (they get back to you very quickly). I am glad to have chosen this practice!
