  • Doctor Yoon is exceptional, I am extremely pleased with the results, communication and team. The only suggestion I would have is to explain pre Mohs procedure a little more regarding the length of the day/procedure. I am near the end of my 60's, am in good health and very active and it was lengthy/stressful. For a fragile individual this would be very challenging. Otherwise, both teams were the top of the scale with expertise and skill.

  • Excellent.!!

    2026-01-31

  • It was one of the most disappointing doctor visits I've ever had. I've waited nearly 6 months for this appointment and the doctor was dismissive, abrupt, and seemingly rushed. He was in the room for, I believe, 3-5 minutes tops. He said two things that really disturbed me: 1. Farmers back in the day as long as they could function kept working and didn't complain 2. He told me that his knee had hurt since he was a kid and imaging showed no issues, so sometimes you just deal with things Everything I said to advocate for myself he dismissed. [redacted]

    2026-01-17

  • I think Dr. Yoon was very knowledgeable in what he had to offer and say, but I think it was just a difficult situation because there just weren't any good answers. It just would have been, I think, a little more helpful to know his opinions on a few more things because it just kind of felt like I was taking up time rather than him being able to offer or caring that I was kind of in that office. Okay, thanks.

    2026-01-16

    2025-11-03

  • I would say that with the resident doctors the care provider can come same time in patients room,so the history correlate with pictures (CT scan) can be checked at same time.(May be). Patients may be get worried to think if the resident doctors give the bigger opinions.
