Dr. Yen is an outstanding Physican, and his staff is professional and efficient. After several years with another MD that was focused on treating my symptoms not preventing them... I did my research and found Dr. Yen. What a difference! Dr. Yen is a great communicator with his focus clearly on prevention. He's evaluated my condition from multiple perspectives, made adjustments to my treatment, and it seems to be already improving my situation.
