    Dr Kin Min Yuen is without question the best physician I have ever seen! Her clear expertise, experience, attention to detail/observations, patience & compassion not only demonstrated that I finally found a doctor that understood my unique conditions, but showed that she cared about me as a patient and wanted to help (I unfortunately don't often see that). I was blown away. This really stood out as I recently had the opposite experience at a different doctor's office last week. As I have ADHD and am post menopausal, I'm not the most concise Individual, I can understand its challenging for doctors when limited on time. But Dr Yuen was very patient with me and showed compassion for my shortcomings. I was also blown away that she observed things about me that no other doctor had observed, like a deviated septum. I've reported to other doctors that I have allergies every day of the year, and a host of other things related to ENT that I now understand could be related to deviated septum. Previous Doctors /appointments have used that tool to look up my nose, but none ever mentioned deviated septum. Dr Yuen mentioned she heard it in the way I talked. If that's not observant, I don't know what is. And, I had already seen another sleep doctor but he only met with me via zoom and didn't ask even 1/2 the level of questions Doctor Yuen did and he only did a watch patch test. My experience with Dr Yuen was so positive that I wish every doctor was like her.

    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!
