  • Dr. Yeh is an excellent physician who provides warm, attentive care to his patients, including me. He reads patients' pre-visit questionnaires and remembers their medical history. Dr.Yeh communicates clearly and thoughtfully with his patients. After each visit with him, I always feel much better. During this visit, I noticed that he was recently promoted to Associaye Medical Director of the Bulfinch Medical Group. I think he truly deserves yto the position.
