I always feel like I am the most important patient they have-that's the way they make you feel.

Dr. Yao had emergency surgery but was able to keep the appointment with me. Took time to explain and ask if I had questions. Did not pressure me into making a decision about proceeding with treatment plan.

Dr. Yao is an excellent doctor!!!
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 8/30/2023
Dr. Yao went over all of my records including my medications, scans, and hospital visit. He completely explained the type of condition of my brain and the results of my stroke. Dr. Yao told me that surgery was not necessary. He advised me to keep checks on my blood pressure, continue medications as prescribed, and keep my primary doctor informed. Dr. Yao gave me a very complete summary of my medical problem and confidence for my future health.

Dr Yao is absolutely wonderful. I was stat flighted to Brownsboro for what we thought brain bleeds but instead blood clots. We were very overwhelmed but he helped calm us down and answer any and all questions in the hospital as well as our office visit. I have had a rough few weeks, and he gave me a breath of fresh air reviewing everything and answering all questions we had.

I love Dr. Yoa Wonderful Dr. He did seem very rushed and usually goes into detail re.my condition and shows me what's going on But again He's wonderful
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 4/18/2023
Dr. Yao is the BEST doctor I have ever had. He is so thorough with explaining your diagnosis and always puts it into terms a patient can understand. He gives multiple examples to make sure you truly understand. He will not move on until you have confidence in understanding what he has shared. He is so personable. He is also funny in the most professional way & that is a breath of fresh air. It takes the pressure of a patient being scared of the diagnosis or how the diagnosis has changed since the last visit. Honestly his specialty is scary for patients if they have that type of medical problem, and I am so thankful he is my provider to lead me through it and for he and I to have an agreed upon medical plan. Norton Health is lucky to have him on staff.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 4/16/2023
One of the best experiences I have ever had discussing my health problems with a doctor. Dr Yao seemed well prepared at the start of his time with me, he explained everything in manner easily understood, and seemed interested in helping me be able to make the best decisions for my medical care in the future. Although I have difficult decisions to make before my next visit, I left the appointment feeling well informed and encouraged.
