Recently I have been hospitalized at Baptist Health Hospital for surgeries 3 different times, and each time, "Dr. Y" has attended me as the hospital floor doctor. I've witnessed him work under intense pressure with a full-capacity hospital and short-staffed conditions, yet he consistently rendered his expertise with patience and attentiveness. I always found him approachable, and he has kindly answered all of my questions and concerns. I love his subtle humor. He has always treated me and the staff (with whom he works) with dignity and respect. Bukus to Dr. Y!

Always in rush to see more patients. Hardly spends any time with his patients. Be prepared for the worse outcomes....

Poor care and busy physician running from place to place for addition to money. He spent time chatting with good looking nurse at SJM telemetry unit more than what he spent with my father...

Too busy to spend time with his patients. Overlooked the diagnosis of my mother at Saint Joeseph East. Bad news.
