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.

Dr Yuen is personable, professional, calm and detailed. I appreciate that he considers me as a whole person not just a person he is treating for a specific thing.

Dr. Yuen patiently listens to my questions and make sure I understand his answers. He explains how the medicine works on my pituitary. I would highly recommend him to others!

Dr. Kevin Yuen was my pitituary doc at Swedish in Seattle. I found him to be highly ineffective compared to the quality of the other Drs that previously handled my case (and after). Worse yet, it seems he told my long term disability insurance provider that I OK to return to work, did not inform me of this, and in fact I'm NOT OK to return to work (and years later I still not able to return to work due to severe adrenal failure). So my long term disability was suddenly cut off with no warning. I lost everthing because of this. Lost my home, I could not take care of my family or pets, and could not afford two important medications. I only recently found out that this was the cause of losing my claim. So I cannot even sue for damages. Basically in one day he completely changed my world for the worse. I told him every single time we met that the adrenal issues were debilitating. What he did was totally wrong in my opinion!

I just starting seeing Dr. Yuen to hopefully figure out what is happening to me, and I was pleasantly surprised to meet him. He is very kind, listened to me patiently, wasn't dismissive and didn't make me feel like I was wasting his time. He went over my history and symptoms himself, spending the entire appointment with me instead of having assistants etc, do that part of the appointment. I am grateful to have found and gotten an appointment with him.

An excellent pituitary specialist with extensive knowledge about Piuitary disorders. I was saddened that he moved form Seattle to Phoenix. A physician highly recommended if you have pituitary disease.

Dr. Yuan saw my husband for low T. Though I'm not a physician, I work in the medical field and do a lot of reading. After a bit of research my husband and I decided that, rather than starting with HRT, we would try another method to spur his body to produce its own testosterone. When we told Dr Yuen everything we had tried he shamed us for being proactive. He accused me of using my husband as a guinea pig. In the end he offered the same treatment that he shamed us for.
