Dr Yang and his PA were very friendly. The visit did not feel rushed and all my questions were answered.
I came in with a shoulder pain that I thought was a rotator cuff injury. Dr. Yang examined my shoulder, had x-rays taken and found the cause which was actually a little arthritic inflammation. He was even able to steer me away from exercises that were aggravating the condition and recommend alternative exercises. A good doctor.

Its was fast waiting on X RAY'S
Verified patient
My experience was a pleasant one will go back if needed to...definitely will recommend to anyone I know who needs a great orthopedic surgeon
Verified patient
He requested I bring X-rays and old MRI. Never got my full history and didn’t attempt to solve nor think about my knee issue. Gave me some advice that did absolutely nothing for my problem. I convinced him to schedule a new MRI, his office never followed up. After numerous attempts, I was able to get through to them and they said they couldn’t get an authorization from my insurance because xrays were necessary and they wanted for me to go to see the doctor again to obtain them. Mind you, these xrays were supposed to be done the first time I saw him, when he decided I needed the MRI - and why my insurance declined the MRI. I never came to see him again. I never even heard from the office ever again. Stop treating patients as if it’s a factory. My insurance paid you several hundred bucks for your 4 minutes of seeing me. Horrible.

The wait was longer than the check up .

Dr. Edward Yang was very professional and concise on what I needed to do for my backpain. The waiting time was short and everything went quick. He also gave me the list of exercises I needed to do and put a check on the exercises I needed to focus on. He is just great and I totally recommend him to everyone.
Verified patient
Amazingly pleasant and sweet!! Listened, didnt rush me at all. The Staff were very kind, professional, did not make me wait long at all. Everyone and the appointment itself was a great experience, I do not regret it all. Wish all my other doctors and staff were this way.
Verified patient
Referred me to see a spine specialist
If Dr Yang was a waiter, he greeted me, took my order, brought my drink, and then brought the check. He did his job, but bare minimum of compassion, advice, and acting like he cared even the least bit about being there. I’m sure he is an adequate physician, but it’s obvious he has a disconnect that he’s dealing with actual people and their long term health and quality of life. I’m seeking a second opinion

Dr Edward Yang is an outstanding Doctor!
Verified patient
Dr Yang was quick to diagnose that my condition should be seen by a rheumatologist but prescribed some painkillers and ordered some exrays while I make an appointment with the referred rheumatologist.
It was very good.
Verified patient
To be frank, the appointment with Dr. Yang, felt rushed quite a bit and he was talking a bit too much with his PA student then I'd like. He told me that he treats ONLY the arm and leg so any other parts of the body I needed treatment for he wouldn't be able to help me. However the location was prompt in doing the X-rays and the facility was clean.
He was great. He asked pertinent questions and answered questions that I have. He informed me of things about my condition that I wasn't aware of.
Doctor was fine. Big problem was ZocDoc. Neglected to tell me he wasn't a back specialist even though that's what I searched for. My knee is fine. Thanks for nothing, ZocDoc.

Dr. Yang saw me right away, and was thorough with the examination process. When a small procedure was recommended, he explained the process clearly and talked me through it with a good bedside manner.
Verified patient
Dr. Yang was professional , courteous and answered every question . He was very thorough and spent a good amount of time with us- we did not feel rushed.
Verified patient
Quick, painless! took us longer to find parking! I love efficiency, and i definitely appreciate that Dr Yang (despite having 2 PA's in the room) put my cast on himself! I used to have an orthopedist in Nassau for my frequent ankle sprains because i'm an ogre, but I have decided to make Yang my #1. Would recommend him to any of my friends & family.
Good manners

Unfortunately, the ZOC DOC booking site that I used to book this appointment was not compatable with the offices system. Due to this glitch, I was kept waiting to see the doctor because the office could not put me in there system.
