If not for Dr Knauer my wife will never recover so quickly. Seems that after his thorough explanation and guidance she calmed and was confident with our prematurely born beautiful girl. Thank you Dr Knauer. You are the best

Dr.Knauer was on rounds during the time we delivered our baby at Kaiser Santa Clara. Being first time parents, we had so many questions and were a bit nervous but Dr.Knauer was very patient and had a calm vibe which helped us relax. He gave some very useful tips on caring for our baby. I really wish he was available for pediatric care.

We are first time parents and Dr.Knauer came to check on our baby for the 2 days we were at the hospital (Kaiser Permanente Santa Clara). He was very sweet and took away all the tension when he stepped into the room. He gave some wonderful tips and was very patient to answer all our questions (which I am sure many first-time parents will have). I really wish he was available as a pediatrician (he works only in NICU)

Dr. Yuri is one of the best doctor, I ever met. He shows the passion towards his profession and shows patience to the parents who are under tremendous stress. He understands the Parents pain and explains each and everything which always gives a confidence. I don't have words to describe the care that he has given to our son Mugilan.

After a frustrating series of neonatologists coming on staff, we were fortunate to meet Dr. Knauer at NICU Kaiser Santa Clara. Dr Knauer's goal is to ensure that our son will develop to the fullest potential. He is an exceptional physician with the best bedside manner I have ever encountered over many years of various doctors appointments. Thank you, Dr Knauer!

Our son was at NICU for 5.5 weeks. Dr. Knauer was one of the members of the NICU team that saved him. Dr. Knauer not only took extra time to communicate to us with great details, but he reached out to us on a personal level as a compassionate human. our son is now 3 years old and perfectly healthy. Our greatest thanks and respects to Dr. Knauer!
