I am very grateful to Doctor Yao for her excellent care.
This was a simple visit without any complicated discussions about care or treatment.
Dr Yao was beyond wonderful. I had left my previous ultrasound appointment (which was with another doctor) feeling very confused, emotioanl, and feeling no clarity on my symptons and issues. After seeing Dr Yao - all of that went away.
Concise but thorough! Never felt rushed.
Dr. Yao was very nice and caring
Dr. Yao is very caring and concerned. She is extremely knowledgeable. I would highly recommend her! Outstanding!
great
Dr. Yao is a wonderful caring doctor, extremely knowledgeable, would highly recommend her to others.
I was thrilled to learn that my ongoing post-surgical pain is not related to a recurrence of cancer. I would have also been thrilled if there were explanations about why I still have lymphedema, nerve & muscle pain over two years after my surgery. But to be fair, neither of my surgeons, nor an Integrative Medicine physician, nor specialty lymphedema physical therapists, nor acupuncturists seem to have a clue about the source or solution to the ongoing pain.
Dr. Yao is fantastic in every category. I trust her completely and she is always so caring and thorough. I have always and only recommended her.
