This was my first visit with a cardiologist and I believe he is one of the best. Brand new office in a brand new building. He is very thorough and knowledgeable.

Dr. Yao is great and I was seen in a timely manner. But his office had no idea of my appointment even though Zocdoc send me a confirmation of it. The receptionist says she hates Zocdoc appointments because they never show up in their system.
