I have been seeing Dr. Yao for two years and have been very happy with him. He is very knowledgeable and a good listener. He always asks me if I have any other questions and follow up with me. He is also warm and friendly.

My elderly mother has been a patient of Dr. Yao\'s for going on two years. She is in her late 60s and can be hard to please. Prior to finding Dr. Yao, we had been to several other nephrologists, all of whom my mother was not happy with. My mother likes Dr Yao and we are comfortable that she is getting the care she needs with a doctor who is patient and knowledgeable.
