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.

No! Did not treat me!
I was sent to Dr Yium my pulmonologist. 2 diseases diagnosed after extensive testing at diagnostic clinics for over 15 years. He didn't make the diagnosis, not valid. (no kidding) No treatment. 6 months of monthly appointments, running around seeing other docs because problem couldn't be ENT. Referred to pain management (really?), psychiatrist. From the untreated ear disease, my ears got worse and worse. Finally right eardrum ruptured. Last time I saw Dr Yium it was clearly obvious he wasn't going to help me. I walked out of the appointment after he didn't want to look in my ears, down my throat. Went to my PCP and he discovered ruptured eardrum. In so much pain, so dizzy. And not happy about bill.

Dr. Yium truly listens to his patients. I left his office completely understanding the treatment protocol and with every single question answered. An ear issue I've suffered with for years has finally improved! (It was misdiagnosed by other doctors). His staff are also impressive.

Our son needed his tonsils & adenoids removed plus ear tubes put in. We are not surgery type people and tried for 2 years to help our son naturally and with meds with no luck. Dr Yium was amazing. Not only with our child but with us. Right when we met him we knew our child was safe in his care. Our son his thriving now and we couldn't be more pleased.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Yium?
As a patient of Dr. Yium's for about a decade, I've found the care he & his team provides very professional & courteous. He & his staff are patient to answer questions & do what they can to ensure patients are comfortable & informed. I appreciate that Dr. Yium takes time to ask questions & listens. In the previous office, the wait time in the waiting room, for afternoon appointments was unreasonably long, but have since deliberately scheduled appts for morning & haven't encountered long wait.
