I am so sad to be relocating and leaving this wonderful practice. Dr. Yuko is by far the best PCP I have ever worked with. The fact that she has a scribe means she can actually listen! She takes time with her patients, has a holistic approach. Her staff are friendly, professional and efficient.

Report
Was highly recommended by a friend with an equally complicated medical situation. Unfortunately, the appointment website was not working, and when I was able to reach someone on the phone, I was brusquely given the website and told any questions I had would be answered there. If I am able to be seen, I will edit this review to describe the practice itself.
