My experience with Dr. Yuen and his crew was amazing. They were, they showed me a lot of compassion, a lot of love, they were, they were great. They were very attentive. They just did the best job ever. I love them. I love their staff. I loved going. They treated me well during all my visits and I'm sad that my visits with them is over, and I'm going to miss going there, Dr. Yuen is a wonderful, wonderful surgeon, I'm very very happy with my procedure and how it's healed. And how there's no scar showing and I just, I love Dr. Yuen.

The providers were great! Updates to the rooms were needed-I felt really claustrophobic in the rooms and waiting areas that I was in during my visit.

I know this is a learning work place for future medical staff. I have no worries. They introduce themselves and help me feel comfortable with them and regular staff
