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.

Terrible pain doctor
My previous doctor retired and Yong got most his patients, my personal experience with him in the last y months has led to a decline in health, multiple treats to the er, several stays in hospital, hus attitude is more politically towards his career, then try to treat patients. Stay away from him,..

Unhelpful
My opinion of Dr Yong is that he is not utilizing ALL means available to treat patients to the best of his ability. As a chronic pain patient with severe spinal issues and multiple back surgeries under my belt pain patients are being given steroid injections and nerve medications here at his pain clinic however myself and many other patients I've spoken to are not receiving paon treatment that is helping. Regulations have doctors in a bad place however it is inconceivable to me that any doctor with an ounce of compassion just allows patients to go home suffering. This part is not an opinion but rather personal experience that I have been dealing with in my attempts to get this doctor to consider helping me in an effective way so I may love my life with as much quality as possible. I do not recommend Dr Yong.

I have been a patient of Dr. Yong for a little over four years. He is an excellent doctor. He is very knowledgeable and thorough. He takes the time to listen and is very accommodating. When I have called or emailed him he replies sooner rather than later. He cares.
