    A new and complicated situation in my health life, with the pressure of a date that I will be traveling internationally. My doctor is sensitive to this and trying to get results in a reasonable amount of time.

    I would not recommend my provider. Nor would I recommend UCSF. The only reason I stay is that it is impossible to find a primary care provider.

    I like my doctor which is why I continue to return, one small critique was that I felt he was not able to spend as much time with me this time, and the appointment felt rushed.

    Felt rushed, mostly agreed, not a lot of feedback
    Dec 06, 2023
    He took the extra step of phoning my daughter,a physician, to discuss his assessment
    Nov 07, 2023
    Exceptional service. I could tell that Dr Yang truly cared about helping me. This was shown by his thoroughness, diligence and friendly disposition throughout the entire appointment. What impressed me the most is that Dr Yang called me back into the clinic after my appointment was over because he had done some thinking and wanted more tests done. This demonstrates his ability to go above and beyond. In my entire life I've never met any healthcare provider who has done that before, cared for me to that degree beyond the boundaries of my appointment time.
