Dr. Marlene Yacoob, MD

Our family physician for over 30 years. Compassionate, caring and is genuinely concerned about our heath and well being. She takes the necessary time with her patients and throughly explains conditions and ailments in easy to understand terms. Simply the best !

For 3 years I've felt terrible, and no GPs or specialists have been able to help because all tests come back "normal." Around this time I wanted to change my GP because my current one wasn't working out. I found Dr. Yacoob and thought it would be a good fit. I wanted another opinion from a GP (isn't that standard advice to get a second opinion?) hoping that maybe she'd catch something the other drs missed and could recommend a different type of specialist, if she couldn't help me herself. Instead, she said, and I quote, "Well, what do you want me to do?" Oh, I don't know, try to make me better maybe?!? And if you're stumped, explain to me that medicine can be tricky at times, and it's not always easy to diagnose conditions? Be professional in your response? Oh, and she did think of a possible condition that no other doctor had suggested, so I did have someone in that specialty examine me (dead end, led to nowhere,), so, yeah, my reason for going to her wasn't that farfetched.

I have been going to Dr. Yacoob fir many years now and I feel that she is a very caring person and is very concerned of my well being. My sister goes to see her and so does my niece. My daughter also did but then she moved to San Diego. My mother does not cause she is elderly and it’s to far for her to go to see Dr. Yacoob. I would not go to anyone else but Dr. Yacoob

The most human doctor I have had in the US. A great listener, a great practitioner. Very careful to details, excellent follow up. I wish my insurance allowed me to still be her patient. Big loss for me.

I am a physician who is of the belief that a Doctor who has himself or his family as. patients is a fool. After 40 years in practice, I am very aware of the skills of the other doctors in the area. I chose Dr Yacoob as the primary care physician for myself and my wife and am very happy I did. She is knowledgeable, personable, affiliated with the best hospital in Orange County and refers to top specialists.

_ _ • ¥ The BEST! The office staff might not be the best (and often times VERY frustrating) but it's worth it to see someone who will listen and get to the problem. Don't mistake the staff for an amazing Dr! Dr. Yacoob has been my Dr since 2009 and my fiancé & his daughter for ??? ever. As soon as I saw her, she knew what was wrong with me. Which I've struggled with my entire life. I truly adore her like a mother. She's that warm & comforting. If she retires-- When she retires, I'm going to be sad. We almost switched to Kaiser, since all the issues with insurance companies currently, and every time I thought of it, my eyes tested up. Due to that, we ended up staying on our current insurance for her! THE ONLY REASON! There's other Dr's in the office but she is the one that is ALWAYS in demand. I promise you'll adore her & be glad she's your Dr, if you choose her. Even my fiancé's sister goes to see her.

Dr. Yacoob is a very professional, caring and compassionate doctor. I feel very comfortable at each visit, and she answers all my question explaining everything in a way that is easy for anyone to understand. She really is a great doctor, I would highly recommend her to all my family and friends.

I love this woman! She treats me like I'm her family. I feel so comfortable with her & I have felt that way since the first time I saw her - 2009. She is an amazing doctor.

I absolutely love this woman! She makes me feel like family. I don't know what I'd do without her!

Dr. Yacoob is very patient and caring. She asks questions and is knowledgeable. She always explains things. It is very difficult to find such caring and good doctor.

Dr. Yacoob is very kind and caring. She listens to her patients and spends an appropriate amount of time taking care of you. She is excellent!

Dr. Yacoob is an amazing and very trust worthy Dr. She is very thorough in everything she does. Our whole entire family have been going to her for the past 20 years

Dr Yacoob is an amazing diagnostician and a wonderful doctor

The nurses working in the office are very incompetent. I had taken a blood test and never heard back of the results until I called back after 20 days waiting, when I realized that the doctor hasn't looked at it yet and I couldn't get back the result on the phone. So I had to call again the next day.
