You enter the reception and are immediately greeted by cheerful and welcoming assistants at the front desk like Shakira. After a brief filling out of some info (which she was more than happy to assist with on a laptop), there was little to no wait time before Tiffany, a nurse escorts you into the exam room and puts you completely at ease with her warm, gentle caring manner. Whike you wait for a few moments &(that’s moments) for the doctor, as you look around you’re amazed at how immaculate the room is. I sincerely wish I could go to Dr. Yao for everything - not just for my ears. She and her staff restore your faith in the medical profession in what can sadly be a dismal experience. A fabulous place! Run don’t walk - Dr. Yao and her staff are gens!
