    Dr Yuen is very smart, thorough, great bedside manners, clean (1st Dr I've seen who actually washed her hands w/o my asking) loved that! Very good listener.

    This was an amazing experience, Dr. Yuen was very nice and more importantly went through the whole assessment rather than just taking my verbal description of my problem (which was not complete because I did not know I had symptoms of sleep apnea) and also did a lot to explain how sleep apnea works. It was a really long and thorough appointment.

    I had an overwhelmingly positive experience with the provider and staff at this clinic, despite being told less than positive news about my health. This was due to their professionalism, kindness, respect, communication, and ability to take the time to speak to me. This was most clearly a result not only of their commitment to patient care, but their ability to truly spend the time to see me. No one was rushed. I spent at least an hour with the provider. Please give providers more time with patients!
