She gave me facts, suggestions and let me determine which path to follow.
ALready recommended Dr. Yao to my followers. Compassionate, caring, concise! Plus delightful sence of humor.
Dr Yao is very pleasant and informative, but I didn't have any questions in particular.
waiting until MD returns from vacation was not optimal. . . 3 weeks from visit to surgery feels too long. perhaps she could have offered another surgeon who was available?
My Dr. Katherine Yao, said I'm 4 yrs breast cancer free. See you next year. That's good all I need to hear
All good. She dif not seem to rush.
Dr. Katherine Yao was very patient. She aswered all my questions and addressed all my concerns.
the doctor was very attentive to my concerns and made me feel comfortable after explaining everything in detail
Provider was very brief with me. The forms for this visit were terrible and I did not complete them. The doctor blamed the forms on COVID but they were terrible long before COVID,
Love Dr. Yao
