Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Highly Recommend
Dr. Yip did surgery on my shoulder and I could not be more pleased. From the first exam to my follow up after surgery, he was thorough, courteous and professional. He set realistic expectations for my surgery and recovery and the results were even better than I anticipated.

Very poor.
Despite alleged technical skills, arrogant and rude behavior was unprofessional. Communication matters. Found another surgeon.

Great Experience and on the mend!
I’ve been very happy with Dr. Yip and all the team members who have helped me. I have had two appointments now the first involving an exam followed by mri order and then follow up that had X-rays, diagnosis and his treatment plan. Seems very thorough and answered all my questions. Smiled when I said my shoulder was improving and light heartedly said, “ Well, you’re coming here!” His appointments have been quick but I appreciate the short wait time and his efficiency in getting me in and out. I understand that his practice is also one of the few remaining private ortho clinics in the area and will definitely continue to support and recommend them!

Top Notch
I have been a patient of Dr. Yip's for over 2 years. He did surgery on my left arm and today will be doing my right. He is a great doctor and an excellent surgeon. He is very matter of fact and had always answered my questions and concerns. I highly recommend him.
