Dr. Yau is an excellent practitioner in all ways. she put my worries at ease, she was friendly and approachable, and answered my questions thoroughly and sensitively. I would highly recommend her to other patients.
*Dr. Yao has the very best bed. Side manners, a patient could ever hope for. Besides being a excellent surgeon, she shows extreme compassion for her patients. I have recommended her MANY times to others.
Dr. Yao has been my doctor throughout my saga with early-stage breast cancer,and I feel confident that I have had the best possible surgical results and outcomes because of having her as my surgeon.
Based on this first visit the doctor impressed me with her genuine concern and ability to convey complicated information.
