would recommend highly
i went to Dr. Yao as a second opinion and ended up chosing her to instead be my surgeon!
I was very impressed with Dr Yao. She seemed to know the exact correct questions to ask me and after the exam suggested the next step and taking all the time needed to throughly answer my questions..She made me feel as if I was her only patient
*Dr. Yao is terrific, listens, concerned, shows respect - Very knowledgeable.
Very good.
I was in town visiting, and the Doctor was kind enough to get me in with very short noticeher professionalism and bedside manner were outstanding
Dr. Yao is outstanding! She is truly empathetic and really understands the anxiety of having a diagnosis of cancer. She is a skilled surgeon and I would recommend her to anyone I know!
The nurse had told me that the Dr could call the radiologist to get my results before I left, but she did not attempt to do so. As it turned out there were problems with my test results and I had to take another day off of work to come back.
Dr. Yao is always extremely calm, friendly, informative, and very responsive to questions and concerns....wonderful doctor in every way...
I can't think of anything that could have been done better.
