amazing doctor, the best experience ever. And my name is [redacted], and I love my doctors and his team. Thank you very much for being there with me.
Appointment was a consult for a procedure. Dr Yoon provided me with all the info I needed to go forward with the procedure.
Dr Yoon was kind, respectful and listened to my questions & concerns. He answered my questions and took time to explain when I needed further clarification.
