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.

He’s the best! Explains all my options.
Dr Yap has done several surgeries for myself and wife and he genuinely cares about what is best for you. He won’t do a surgery unless both you and he agrees it is the best option unlike some doctors who just want the money. He is also a great guy.

Highly Recommend!
Dr. Yap was very thorough and took all I time that I needed to address my questions and concerns. I was considering a knee replacement surgery and he went out of his way to be sure I understood what was involved and what to expect regarding rehabilitation. When it is medically safe, Dr. Yap uses a state-of-the-art Surgery Center. It was peaceful and pleasant and eliminates the cost of hospitalization and the increased risk of infection in a hospital. Dr. Yap kept in close touch the days after surgery, calling me at home and even giving me the number to his direct phone line if I needed so I could reach him at any time. His office arranged for me to have a visiting nurse and physical therapist come to my home for the next 2 weeks. In summary, I have never met a more competent surgeon who treats his patients with such compassion. I am doing well with my new knee and looking forward to having the other knee done in a few weeks. I feel very lucky to have found Dr. Yap!
