Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

My colonoscopy experience was PERFECT!
My experience with Dr. Yap and my procedure was perfect from start to finish. I can’t complain about anything. Would highly recommend him and his office. Will be having others in the future due to my age and can rest and relax about those times. Thank you ALL!

Endoscopy

I recently underwent an endoscopy performed by Dr. Eric. W Yap. and I am extremely impressed with the care and expertise provided. From the initial consultation to the post-procedure follow-up, Dr. Yap was professional, thorough, and genuinely caring.The endoscopy itself was handled with utmost precision and care. Dr. Yap ensured I was comfortable and well-informed throughout the entire process. They took the time to explain the procedure in detail, addressing all my concerns and answering my questions patiently, which helped alleviate any anxiety I had.The procedure went smoothly, and I felt reassured by Dr. Yap’s confidence and competence. The support staff were also exceptional, making sure I was relaxed and well taken care of before and after the procedure.Thanks to Dr. Yap. I now have a clear understanding of my health status and a comprehensive plan for moving forward. I am deeply grateful for the excellent care I received and highly recommend Dr. Yap to anyone in need of a

Waste of time, Dr Yap does not care
Dr Yap did not take the time to review my reports either before hand nor during the appointment, did not discuss next steps. I urged the doctor to review the reports and help guide me but he was simply not interested, did not provide any guidance and had me out of there in less than 3 mins. I had waited to see Dr Yap for over a month and the office kept me waiting for more than 1 hour for one of the first appointments in the morning. Would strongly recommend to not see Dr. Yap and waste your time with him.

Knowledgable and personable physician
My consultation was for evaluation for screening colonoscopy. It had been 10 years since my prior screening procedure. Dr. Yap completed a thorough medical history review and examination. He agreed with need for the procedure and answered all questions. The only problem was his schedule was completely booked for almost 3 months and I needed to wait until the 2024 schedule is available to schedule the procedure. IOverall, he is a smart, kind, warm professional and I would highly recommend him to others.

Second screening with Dr. Yap. This office is friendly, fun, caring and organized. Sr. Yap is thorough and explains everything you need to know and answers any and all questions. Also made sure staff followed up to make sure I was doing okay a day or two after the procedure.

Outstanding GI Doctor
Having UC is no joke, it is a rough journey in your life. For me, Dr. Yap is one of the best GI Doctor out there, very smart and you get quick response if you have any concerns. He really takes care of his patients. He knows what would be the best treatment/medication if you flare. I planned to stay w/ Dr. Yap as long as I have UC.

Efficient procedures
I have seen Dr. Yap for both office visits and procedures, and while he's great at both, I'm commenting mostly on the latter, because the efficiency of procedures in this office is *astounding*. As in, procedures actually start exactly when they say they will start. They run a very efficient ship.

Didn't listen, didn't seem knowledgeable
My appointment lasted probably 10 minutes. He simply did not care to hear about symptoms and the ones he did hear about he seemed to know very little about. I felt, through basic research leading up to my appointment, I knew more than he did, and what tests might help me. He even said "basically, this establishment is a 'country bumpkin' place, you have to go to a hospital network for real GI care". I'm in Seattle where there are three major hospital networks. What's the point of his office then? Just stupid.

Friendly and professional
I had a great experience with Dr. Yap. Before my appt. I got several reminders and instructions so it’s really easy to follow and get myself prepared. The procedure was super smooth. Dr. Yap and all nurses were very friendly. I only felt a little tired after the procedure. After some rest, everything went back to normal. I would recommend Dr. Yap for a great job he did.

Successful colonoscopy
As usual, everyone is a little nervous on getting a colonoscopy. When I went in, the staff made me feel less nervous and Dr. Yap came by and talked to me. They were very professional and nice. The procedure was really fast and he did a great job. I was glad that I picked him to do my procedure.

I went to Dr. Yap after seeing a different GI Dr. who didn’t bother to ask me questions or listen to me. Night and day difference with Dr. Yap. He is medically skilled and very compassionate as a human being. So glad I was able to switch to him.

Absolutely outstanding care. From Brett and Diana's efficient and friendly service at the front desk to all the nursing staff--Malisa in prep, Irena in prep and assisting, Eric answering questions and getting all the paperwork signed, Nicole (and Tammy's pre-procedure help over the phone) in anesthesia, Valinda (especially in recovery) and Jami accompanying me to my waiting ride home--everyone was fantastic. To top it off, Dr. Yap is a wonderful, caring, skilled doctor who took the time to explain everything. He provided excellent care during both video and in-person visits. I highly recommend Dr. Yap and this entire team!
