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.

A tremendous caring doctor.
Dr Yang and her staff are incredible. Caring. They follow your care for years. I would not be here today without her professional care

I'm getting excellent care from Dr. Yang
I feel very lucky to be receiving medical care and surgery with Dr. Yang. I have been satisfied and well served by her explanations as well as her compassion. She is grounded and real, and yet stunningly expert in her field, gynecologic oncology. The laparoscopic surgery went like a dream and my recovery is going well. I feel confident in her care in every stage of my teatment so far, and I assume I will as well as into the future maintenance phase. I highly recommend Dr. Yang.

Dr Yang is fantastic! My local doctor could not have made a better recommendation for a specialist! She’s so caring, and is sensitive to the fact that she is more than likely giving you news that is life altering. She spends the time with you that YOU need and explains everything carefully and is language easy to understand. I had to wait an extended time once I arrived for my first appointment. The staff kept me informed of the delay. This was my first sign that Dr Yang was a listener, not one to limit her appointment if more time was needed. I hopefully only have one more yearly check up with Dr Yang, but I know she will be there if other concerns or questions arise.

Dr. Yang is very knowledgeable and efficient. She also takes time to listen and answer questions, and is caring in a straightforward manner. I was very pleased with my surgery experience, and with the swiftness of scheduling it.

Amazing surgeon
I went in for surgery to remove cancer and I was extremely anxious but Dr Yang helped me by explaining everything from what she was going to do when I’m out to recovery to everything in between, she had a very calming air around her, and she made sure that any accommodations I asked for was listened to and done (as long as they were reasonable and didn’t mess with my recovery). If I ever have cancer again (really hope not) I would 100% go back to Dr Yang if given the chance.

Dr. Yang is a skilled surgeon; staff is awful
I believe a great doctor (such as Dr. Yang) should be surrounded by a support team just as wonderful. This has never been my experience. My calls seem to be an inconvenience, sometimes ignored, emails not returned, etc. If I were a 'pest' I could understand. In the life of a cancer patient, every physical oddity is frightening, yet I have always limited contact with the doctor (because of the all the roadblocks of the office staff).
