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.

I had surgery 12-18 for esophageal cancer. Dr. Yacoub was excellent.

Customer service In this office is terrible! The staff and the doctor are disgustingly rude! The staff can’t even fill the correct prescriptions in a timely manner. Every time I call the pharmacy my scripts are not there, they don’t even call it in until I call and complain! The girls there half the time are not even working, they would be conversing amongst each other and joking around! The doctor does not even know how to treat his patients! He speaks rudely and is always in a rush! He never gives me time to explain my complaints! I would never recommend this office to anyone

Dr. Yacoub will be with you from the beginning until the end explaining to you step by step what you are going through. Knowledge, experience, and compassion describe this great doctor. I highly recommend him for his thoracic work. Magic hands.

Dr. Yacoub saved my life. He made me feel safe and kept me informed during the process of preparing for surgery. He is an excellent addition to the Kaiser medical staff.
