Even though Dr Yao was approximately 15 minutes behind she never washes, always personable, always takes the time to answer questions or address any concerns. She definitely is the kind of doctor every patient would want to help.
*Katharine Yao - excellent.
Our meeting with Dr. Yao was very reassuring and informative. I felt Dr. Yao gave us the time needed to answer all our questions and to prepare us for the next steps. Staff was also very reassuring and helpful.
Highly satisfied with Dr. Yao.
Dr Yao is excellent, very kind and also reassuring about my medical concerns.
I am very impressed with Dr. Yao. She is very professional,knowledgeable and understanding. She explained everything to me and my daughter. I feel I am in good hands. I would highly recommend her.
I had to bring my newborn to the appointment with me (no babysitter). She (*Dr. Yao) helped me when he spit up really bad. So nice of her.
As always - great!
Dr. Yao is exceptional. She is friendly and exhibits concern and caring. She remembers things about me and my family personally, and I feel well cared for.
She is very, very good in all aspect. She is the best doctor I ever known. "Super." I thank God for having her as my oncology doctor. God bless her always.
