I called and made an appointment with the doctor and I end up seeing the Physician Assistant (PA). Dr Yoo was not even in the office. Total waste of time and money. It gets worst. I ended up waiting in the waiting room for 20 minutes past my appointment time just to see the PA. It was a total rip off. If Yoo is not going to be in the office, she should not schedule anybody.

While on the operating table Yoo said, "Now where was that cancer?" and, "It must be here." NOT comforting! I'm still not 100% sure she cu the right place. Another visit she sent an aide who used a Q-tip to burn about 15 "age-spots". Easy stuff; 7 minutes or so. I was billed over $1000 for 2 surgeries!! I "think" she's competent, but she wasn't for me.

THE WORST DOCTOR I HAVE EVER SEEN. I was misdiagnosed by her because she had no time to talk to me, look at my medication history or inquire about my condition. I needlessly suffered because of her uncaring attitude. MINUS 2stars. GO ELSEWHERE _ ANYBODY WOULD BE Better

Excellent and intelligent Mohs skin cancer surgeon. I had my facial skin cancer removed and reconstructed with a complex procedure on the same day. I look great!

I was really impressed by the efficiency of the office and the amount of time that the doctor spent with me. I recommend Dr. Yoo to all of my family and friends.

she's only in it for the money -- and she wants a lot of money. she demanded immediate payment for one procedure up front which I paid...and have since received four (excessive) bills for the same visit. ridiculous. avoid at all costs.
