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.

Dr. Yau is great at treating patients of all ages. He is kind, thorough and always willing to answer any questions you might have. Highly recommend Dr. Yau and his staff!

Dr. Yau 'inherited' me when he came to this practice where I'd been with our beloved Dr. Lesch for 20+ years. Fearing I would never find his equal I am pleased to say that he left me in amazing hands. I usually only have to wait a few minutes and more importantly - Dr. Yau takes the time to not only hear what I have to say and ask- but to explain things clearly and make helpful suggestions. In several occasions he has, himself, called me with tear results- ince at 10:00 PM. I am so grateful that he is my OCP - one who cares and has all the info from any other doctors I may see so I can rest easy that somebody has the big picture. He ROCKS!!!

I was a new patient with Dr. Yau. I had no medical symptoms that were bothering me at he time of the visit. Based on my blood pressure reading, Dr. Yau insisted that I have additional testing. The tests found high cholesterol count and some blockage. He has closely monitored my cholesterol to a safe level. His proactive care probably saved me from heart attach or stroke. I encourage all my family members and friends to go to Dr. Yau!

My husband and I have been going to Dr. Yau since he first started practicing in The Woodlands. He is an excellent doctor whom I trust completely and his bedside manner is hard to beat. We never feel rushed because like you do with most doctors - he takes the time to listen and answer all of our questions. And his nurse, Heather is great as well. I strongly recommend Dr. Yau to anyone.

I would like to thank Dr Yau for basically saving my life. He made the diagnosis and called a colleague specialist to see me right away. I was in emergency surgery the same afternoon thanks to his urgency. The admitting doctor said my infection was almost septic and I would not have made it another day.

I and several members of my family have been patients of Dr. Yau since he joined the practice. Before he joined, his retiring predecessor told me that he was a very bright, capable young Internal/Pediatrics doctor, Texas educated. He turned out to be exactly that and he has been our family doctor since then, about 15 years I think. I find him to be personable, a good listener, he shows careful consideration in prescribing medications and treatment and in recommending a specialist when necessary.
