It was a positive experience with Dr. Yao. He's an excellent listener and communicator. I have not seen a doctor in years, but I booked Dr. Yao as my new PCP based on his ratings/reviews and I'll definitely be coming to him regularly. Yes, I would recommend.

The medical assistant was highly rude and very unprofessional. Called me the day of my apt to tell me i had scheduled my apt wrong. My mom works for the same company and if they notice a customer scheduled through here they call them immediately to make sure its correct. I was 5 minutes late and called ahead and they said it was perfectly fine. When i got there the medical assistant was very rude and unprofessional.
