I had my first visit with Dr. Yeh today, and found his way of communicating with me as a patient exceptional. I went to him for a second opinion, and have decided to make him my primary orthopaedist for my thumb osteoarthritis problem.

Dr. Yeh is an outstanding hand specialist. He is compassionate, listens to the patients. The downside is that he gets delayed to see his patients.

I have had two visits with Dr. Yeh regarding a shoulder issue I have. It is a frozen shoulder. He has been right on target with his diagnosis and recommended treatment. He is very down to earth and easy to understand,

Dr. Yeh was my surgeon / doc for carpal tunnel release surgery. He is personable, straightforward, and truly a nice guy. 5 stars all around. The physical therapist Dr. Yeh recommends that is in the same office- Bob - is also amazing. Highly highly recommend both. Dr. Yeh will sit with you and spend time educating on procedure, what to expect, and having reasonable expectations once you have had surgery. It has been a year and only smooth sailing. Thank you Dr. Yeh and staff.

My right hand blew up to almost double its size. Dr. Yeh doggedly worked with me to get it back functioning and based on a diagnosis of gout got me together with a wonderful rheumatologist. Dr. Yeh is caring with time for his patient and pursues the root causes of problems determinedly. I am so glad I found Dr. Yeh!

Great diagnostician. Identified my hand problem correctly just by doing a proper physical exam of the hand. Diagnosis was borne out by MRI, which he did not immediately jump to do. Gave good suggestions regarding treatment options.

I love Dr Yeh he is an excellent surgeon but his staff sucks. Anita made several errors and refused to help me when med star Billing wanted to charge me 1340.59 for hand surgery the woman does not give a flying flip about anyone! She is a huge problem for that reason I say do not go to this Dr. until he fires Anita! She is also rude on the phone!

Dr. Yeh did an operation on my left wrist on 21st of October 2015. Yesterday I visited his office in Columbia for the 3rd time for post surgery checkup. It was a disaster. I had to wait for an hour in the waiting room. He saw three patients before to get to me; when he finally got to me it last just less than 5 minutes. While he was with me a nurse knock on the door that another patient was impatient and wanted to leave. I am not sure if he was overbooked or he was late as usual.
