Patient Reviews

November 11, 2024
I thank you for giving me good service and giving me positive ways that he's going to do my surgery. And when I get the date for my surgery, I pray that he does a good job and I can do to be able to function after his surgery. So I appreciate his good service and I thank you.
November 07, 2024
I've been coming to see Dr. Yoon for years and I am always happy with his care.
October 29, 2024
I didn't get any feedback about why my primary Dr. Sent me here. "Why I'm having too many UTIs?"
October 28, 2024
Dr. Yoon had initially offered me prostate surgery. I had prostate problems recently and needed to use a Foley catheter. Today, when I went in, he told me that it was no longer urgent and that he would give me a six-month appointment. He didn't explain to me why they couldn't operate on me. I would have liked to get out of this problem as soon as possible.
October 24, 2024
I am happy with the care provided me by this doctor.
October 23, 2024
Dr. Yoon was very respectful and understanding of what type of care I needed and took my opinion into consideration. I would highly recommend him to family and friends.
October 22, 2024
He seamed like he was in a bad mood, stude there and at the very most he spent 6 minutes with me if that didn't seem to care at all I will not be seeing him again!
October 21, 2024
The doctor was very professional, very knowledgeable, very friendly. He did listen to me, he explained me everything. So I am very pleased with our doctor. Bye.
October 17, 2024

October 01, 2024
He was very helpful and gave great advice
September 30, 2024
Wounderful appointment and took care of my conderns.
September 23, 2024
I feel that he should pay a little more attention to each of the patients, especially to me, since he gives me very little time and my questions are not answered adequately. That is my way of thinking and feeling.
September 17, 2024
Dr YOON is very courteous and nice. He shook my hand and he asked me questions about my problem. He said I needed to take a blood test and we'll talk some more.
September 17, 2024
Dr Yoon was great his support staff left something to be desired. The assisting nurse was very rude as was the young woman at the checkout desk .
September 16, 2024
Dr Yoon is very knowledgeable and professional. Thank you for my care.

All staff members nurses and Dr make feel are family
September 16, 2024
Everything went fine!
September 12, 2024
What is it that I haven't been to see this new doctor yet? That's why I can't find out anything because I still think I have an appointment for the 28th and it's the first time I'm going to see him. Well, I've got it figured out.
September 10, 2024
Hey, so everything went really well. I like the fact that he didn't want me to come back. And he told me to discontinue the stuff that my PCP doctor had ordered up for me. So I'm pleased all the way around. They did take me in in a timely manner. I got there early. So I got in, you know, on schedule. So everything went well. I just want to say thanks. I'll go back to him if something arises again. So there you go. Oh, P.S. Parking at the hospital itself, that (word removed). Bye-bye.

They treated me very well, they treated me quickly, the doctor was very clear with me and I really liked everything.
September 03, 2024
this was my first appointment and I was early. The staff was very courteous and friendly. When I was admitted for my appointment the nurse referred to me as she was creating & entering my referral information into my computer file, She made copies of my referral information and read it all back to me for accuracy. When the Doctor entered the room he again went over my medical information. It was very reassuring .

Dr. Yoon went over my latest test results and explained their meaning for me in accurate and helpful terms. I have always been highly impressed by his care and professionalism.
May 23, 2024
I hope that Dr. Yoon can do my kidney surgery soon. I had a procedure on my left kidney with another health care provider, and the surgery was not successful, and it has to be done over. I have a stent going from my left kidney to my urinary bladder, and it's given me a lot of problems, a lot of pain. This situation has been going on since last November, but I just met Dr. Yoon on May 23. I need help as soon as I can get it. I'd appreciate any help that you can give me.
May 23, 2024
That on all the occasions that they have treated me I have felt very grateful for the good treatment they give me.

Yes, Dr. Yoon, I have been with him for more than two years. He's been treating me for a bladder issue and he has been very good about that and giving me information and even had a procedure done by him in my care. So I'm very happy with him and I think he's an excellent doctor.

March 04, 2024
After waiting in the room for a long time, doctor came in and assumed I was an old lady and rather than try to remove the catheter to see if I would be able to (word removed) on my own, he decided that I would have to have the catheter for the rest of my life. No other option.
