Dr. Yen has been my primary care doctor since I started working for LAPD, so probably 15 years. He's always been caring, professional, thorough, and know more about my health than I do myself. He keeps me informed and follows up with any health concerns I've been having and always providing advice, tips, and health plans to get my overall health back on track. If he couldn't do it himself, he refers to specialists straight away. I wouldn't know what to do if I don't have him as my PCP. Grateful is an understatement. I'm forever indebted to him as long as I live. Thank you, Dr. Yen.

I should I say I am a physician myself and this provider was incredible. He was able to diagnose and treat me in a record amount of time — including if antibiotics, fluids and a cat scan, saving me a trip to the ED for which I am so grateful. He was compassionate and understanding. Honestly just phenomenal care!

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Gorge Yen for over 10 years, and I truly can’t imagine trusting my health to anyone else. From the very beginning, he has made me feel completely comfortable, respected, and heard at every visit. His calm, reassuring demeanor and genuine care make even the most stressful appointments feel manageable. Dr. Yen takes the time to listen, explains things clearly, and always involves me in decisions about my care. He never rushes through appointments and always makes sure all my concerns are addressed. Over the years, he’s guided me through everything from routine checkups to more complex health issues with incredible professionalism and compassion. It’s rare to find a physician who combines medical expertise with such a personal touch. Dr. Yen truly sets the standard for what a great doctor should be. I’m incredibly grateful for the decade of care I’ve received and look forward to many more years under his guidance. Highly, highly recommended!
