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. Yom is excellent in expertise, care and support to patients.

One of the best UCSF doctors
In 2008 I was diagnosed with a large lung tumor and Dr. Yom treated me with radiation in addition to the chemotherapy I received at UCSF. She was extremely caring and thorough and I was cancer-free after that for ten years. Since 2018 I've begun to experience persistent malignant lung nodules and she has continued to treat me. I feel very confident while receiving her care and as a result of how much time we've known each other she's almost felt like a family member to me. I highly recommend her.
