Dr. Yee is not only a thorough doctor, she is also a very kind and caring person. She is truly one of a kind and I'm so glad she's my doctor. When I'm not feeling well I know I can count on Dr. Yee to find out what's going on and nurse me back to health. You won't find a better doctor than Dr. Yee!

July 17, 2025Francesca P.Verified patient

We recently brought our daughter to see Dr. Yee, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Dr. Yee listened carefully to our concerns, answered them thoughtfully, and provided valuable insights into our child's development and ways to support her growth. She took the time to thoroughly evaluate our daughter and educate us about her progress. The office itself is clean, warm, and welcoming, creating a comfortable environment for families. The front desk staff was also incredibly helpful, assisting us in assigning Dr. Yee as our primary care physician.

December 4, 2024Amal A.Verified patient

It was important to my partner and me that our pediatrician connected with our baby and was proactive in giving us feedback about our child since we are first time parents. Our precious pediatrician did not give that to us, but Dr. Yee really hit the mark. She interacted with our child and played with him as she evaluated his health and made sure we felt heard about our concerns as well. The office was nice and clean and we were seen right away.
