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.

Awful doctor. He continues to prescribe Adderall to our daughter even though she is addicted to it and has psychosis. The family has asked him to stop!

Probably the worst doctor I've ever seen. Doesn't seem to pay close attention during each session, remember what was discussed from one session to the next, and doesn't even pretend to have any empathy. He's clearly smart, though, so I'm guessing he was worth seeing back in the '90s or whenever it was that he last cared.

I have been a patint of Dr. Yoo for many years. These days is very difficcult, sometimes impossible, to find a psychiatrist who prescribes medication and at the same type provides some psychotherapy. When I was going through a difficult time, he was one of my biggest support. He showed that an important part of practicing medicine was also practicing compassionate care. Dr. Yoo is not just a prescriber, he offers good emotional care.

Dr Yoo is very insightful and willing to take the time needed with you to explore your personality and why you handle things the way you do. I find his advice very valuable and actionable, and his compassion has helped me through some difficult times.

I had given Dr. Yoo a positive review before but I have lost confidence in this doctor over time. He is very hard to communicate with, he constantly has to be reminded about all of your medications, and he has given me the tough guy attitude telling me that he never wants me to cry again. The only thing he has gotten right is my medication routine.

after 13 years I have found him to be incompetent and detrimental to my mental health treatment. I suggest if you do see him, only see him for med management.
