Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dismissive and condescending
Upon meeting him - he said that he is NOT the right doctor for me. He said that he is a surgeon. He gave me a referral to another doctor. Very rude!

Great doctor
Saw Dr Yang about my shoulder injury. He was very thorough and went over everything I needed to know.

The surgeries went well. However, Dr. Yang's demeanor is completely demeaning and condescending. But he has many years of experience. I wish he did not brush off my other health concerns as to how they would affect my surgery. He dismissed any questions about the surgery as being 'beyond my understanding'. He has multiple offices and the wait times are horrible. I have seen stellar reviews so maybe he treats some patients better (or much better) than others.

Saw him in Forest Hills office. I have pain in right shoulder. He barely looked at my shoulder and when I complained of pain when moving arm in a certain way, he told me not to move it that way! I asked about x-ray and/or MRI. NO! I then went to another doctor who immediately took x-rays and when pain continued after he prescribed physical therapy, he took MRI. I have tears in rotator cuff and other problems. Yang would not do any tests or PT. Thank God that I chose another doctor. Avoid Yang!
