Jerry Yang

Always a very good experience. He was very vigilant of my health and always followed through.

Good

I am a friend of a patient and during the visit the care provider made more eye contact to me than actual patient. Care provider didn't really resolve the medical Issue the patient had. Left the clinic with more questions than answers.

They failed to submit the incomplete FMLA forms until which my FMLA was denied which can cause problem with my employer in the future. This must be fix and the MA just ignore it.

Dr Yang has been great with my concerns future treatments/lab and medication orders. Thank you.

Waiting for test order ...

Overall very pleased with doctor. Not so please with his office's follow up. Still waiting for supplies to be ordered after 1 month.

Dr. Yang had excellent patient care and bed side manner answered all my questions with clarity and brevity as well as made me feel extremely comfortable for the whole visit. Glad to have him as my PCP!

Dr Yang is top notch ! He listens articulates to my level and is accurate. It's a pleasure to be his patient

1) PCP shouldn't push everything to specialists.2) PCP should be more responsible than put themself in a safe position. A safe position means that any answer from PCP is ambiguous. A safe position will make it impossible for patients to sue/complain about PCP but meanwhile PCP will rarely help patients solve practical difficulties.3) Let me give you an example. A patient's upper and lower gastrointestinal endoscopy found no bleeding from the beginning of the esophagus including the stomach down to the intestinal tract. At the same time no polyps and no masses were found in the gastrointestinal system. Although this patient was diagnosed as esophageal adenocarcinoma with metastases to the liver and lungs the recent PETCTs of the patient also showed that the disease was well controlled. His primary site of esophageal cancer in the esophagus has been reported several times as "again not well seen and no significant hypermetabolism." However the PCP wrote the follow up question as: Gi bleeding due to esophageal cancer. His purpose in doing this is to push all problems to specialists and put himself in a safe position. My summary: too irresponsible doctor.4) I have been observing the annual evaluation of the top ten hospitals in the United States by US NEWS. I'm sad to see UCSF fall out of the top 10 in 2023. But I am even more regretful to say that if UCSF is full of such types of doctors then UCSF will not even be able to enter the top 20.

Very good service

There were things in the After Visit Summary that were never mentioned during the visit. For instance chronic kidney disease and colon polyps.

Dr. Yang is great! He is friendly professional and very prompt when looking at test results etc. Highly recommended!

He is excellent doctor

Very professional medical doctor and team

This was first visit after switching PCPs. I needed Prescriptions filled medical supplies ordered lab tests ordered and referrals to specialist. Waiting now to see if all provided.

I have already referred a patient to the practice.

Dr Yang was amazing easy to talk to listened to all my issues without rushing me

Dr didn't review my history be it briefly prior to my arrival. I had to have him check the visits on my chart.

As my first appointment with a new primary care physician the experience was very disappointing and am going to call my insurance to ensure this appointment is not counted as my yearly phyiscal.

Dr. Yang was excellent

Very good Thank you!

Dr. Yang consistently provides a thorough Notes and Summary of Visit Description (notes for me to follow up on) etc.

I'm glad to have Dr. Yang as my new primary care provider. We had a pleasant first encounter and I felt that I was able to address and discuss my medical history and concerns.

My experiences with dr. Yang are uniformly good.

Dr. Yang is very helpful good listener and pleasant.

Patience and empathy

Dr. Yang is a great physician!

Dr Yang connected my previous to this clinical visit. He listened actively with my concerns. We collaborated with the new treatment and medications together pleasantly and professionally. Thank you.

Overall good experience with Dr. He was helpful and cared about all of my potential medical Issues asking me what else he could help with repeatedly at the end of the appointment. This was great! The only negative comment was that he was not able to be at all helpful on advising me about whether the bloodwork would be covered by insurance and if not how much I would pay for it. Even if it is covered by insurance I am expecting to pay out of pocket because I haven't met my deductible so I wanted to know at least a ballpark cost estimate. Dr was not able to give me any sense of what the cost of the service will be. Could be he said could be . My experience would have been improved if he had been able to give me a more confident expectation about this and if he had showed more sympathy with my desire to know.

Kind demeanor and very helpful with my questions.

Dr. Yang appeared friendly during the visit but was not interested in referring me to an OBGYN. He told me that UCSF doctors are too sophisticated to administer regular women's health check ups such as pap smears but that he would be willing to do it for me himself in his office. I was quite surprised by his comment. I later passed by UCSF's Women's Health Center and they told me Dr. Yang's comments were inaccurate and unacceptable and that I can make an appointment to see a UCSF gynecologist by calling the Mt. Zion office.Additionally when Dr. Yang mentioned that I should get a blood test done he told me that he was unsure whether or not it would be covered by insurance so I should go to the Mission Bay lab and check with the receptionist. I follow his instructions but in Dr. Yang's after-visit summary he wrote that "I like to get all the blood tests done regardless of whether it will be covered by my insurance." This is untrue and in no way reflects the nature of our conversation.He also wrote other things in his doctor's notes that weren't checked during our annual physical exam such as the condition of my mouth eyes abdomen spine etc. He also wrote that he encouraged my to exercise maintain a healthy diet wear helmet not smoke and wear sunscreen but all of that wasn't discussed during our visit either.This was the first time I saw Dr. Yang and I the visit left me very disappointed and uncomfortable. I no longer trust his medical advice or his doctor's notes and will be looking for a new primary care provider.

I have lots of choices and I pick Dr Yang because of his knowledge depth or listening to me breadth of answers and he cares!!!

Very efficient but also felt a bit rushed.

Dr Yang is wonderful. Thank you.

Made a comment that was not called for regarding me voicing my health concerns. He said I should not come to the doctor 2-3 years and expect him to heal all my alimentants. Which was not the truth and I had to speak to him regarding statement.

Dr. Yang referred me to a specialist and discussed all the options I have the possible causes of my issue etc.. Very productive and friendly meeting.

I do not feel that my provider has much connection with me as a person or patient.

Dr. Yang is very kind and listens well. He always asks if I have more questions. Medical assistant is also kind. Medical student was very good. This is a great practice.

Dr. Yang is an excellent physician and my wife has seen him too.

I really appreciate being able to see so caring knowledgeable detailed organized and empathetic a provider as Dr. Yang. I wish I had come to his practice years ago.

It was an introductory meeting. Nothing really key to discuss

Dr. Yang is efficient friendly and knowledgeable. I always feel like I'm in good hands.

Hard to understand. Once he decided on possible diagnosis he was ready to let me go. Very rushed to prescribe meds. He said "it could be all three issues it could be none but take treatments for all of them".

Provider rushed through my annual check-up; seemed anxious to conclude visit within 10-minutes. I had a long list of items to discuss but felt cut short and did not get through them.

I don't this doctor listened to me all. I was furious when I read his notes. He didn't even address my major concern and reason for the visit despite the fact that I mentioned is SEVERAL times.

Dr. Yang is an excellent primary care physician

Good

Horrible experience

Dr. Yang is so patient and professional. Always checks to see if I have any issues or concerns and go over with me.

I didn't seem to get an answer to my problem & when I left the office I realized certain topics we spoke about on the phone were not brought up. I don't think he looked at my chart before my arrival as everything was like a reminder to what we had talked about by phone.

The doctor skipped parts of the exam.The first version of the post-visit note said that he examined my spine and genitalia and spine. Neither was done. He took the boilerplate language about exmaining my genitalia out of the post exam note after I emailed him about It.I was not examined for a hernia.The note said a PSA test was performed. It was not. I asked that it be added to the scheduled labs.

This care provider was assigned to me but after this last visit I'm seriously considering changing care providers. @ years ago I was impressed with UCSF health service but now the docs I've seen in the last 2 months seem to be more concerned with doing minimal care and what Ins will allow than what the patient needs.

Dr. Yang and I talked through everything and I left with two immediate UCSF appointments routine blood draw focusing on diabetes and then an X-Ray because I had questions about back pain. I went to both appointments at UCSF the next day and now have my results ... Perfect!

I asked provider to request my medical records because he said my incidents of blood clots and embolism were not listed he decided not to do that and said he would just take my word for it. The problem is maybe if my records were there the right tests and actions would have been taken initially . Theres literally like 10 years of missing medical records or bits and pieces that Ive been able to pull together myself.

Dr. Yang was professional courteous knowledgeable and polite.

I'm very satisfied with caregiver and care

He was very rude during the visit . He wrote a wrong body part to be X-ray so that made me air in the X-ray dept till they get a correct body part from the doctor to do x ray .

The instructions given is standard from all doctors. A follow up email with the same verbiage regarding my health. There was no in-peraon discussion

Excellent physician

It's not clear how long my treatment would take before I need to schedule another visit to go to the next step.

Very good

Good doctor

Dr. Yang covered all of my health needs and set me up with referrals and appointments I needed.

I just felt that a visit with this provider was in the end unnecessary. I wish there'd been an option to talk to a nurse or physicians assistant instead of a doctor. I just posed a question and I wish I could've just talked with someone over the phone instead of having made an appointment based on my concern. To be diagnosed with "yea those are bug bites" and now having to pay for that diagnosis seems very expensive.

All-around excellent personal visit.
