Jimmy Yue, DO

The Skinny: Doesn’t schedule appointments, 2 – 3 hour wait, and somewhat of a patient mill.
The Fat: Waited for almost 3 hours with elderly grandpa before finally being able to see someone. They no longer do appointments so you’ll find a bunch of elderly Asian men and women waiting for quite a long time. Because the doctor speaks Chinese, many of these patients turn to this doctor and unfortunately, much like any elderly patient they are probably worried about switching doctors. All in all, it’s kind of sad that you have to wait this long for a 3 – 5 minute check up. Find another doctor.

I saw his ad on the Chinese yellow page with alhambra family medical center on 1336 w valley blvd, so I went with my wife for a preventive free check up with our blueshield Ppo cards, which happens that for all first timers they let you sign an arbitration waiver so you can’t sue them for anything and then the lady at the window’s like an ATM who asks you for $ 95 per person which doesn’t happen to be co-​pay or anything! When I asked her what is it for she would just say it’s something YOU have to pay! What a straight answer! While my insurance is 0 deductable! Anyway, I wouldn’t recommend him nor this place to anyone!!!

Just don’t see him!!! I saw him couple years ago and he was very mean and don’t really care about his patients! Referred me to see a plastic surgeon for a bump removal and they keep on referring me to see another specialist and another specialist. At the end… the fine needle specialist said… It was bone!!! How can he perform fine needle biopsy??? At the end… Nothing was done and they just keep charging me copay and office visits!!!
Also, I just found out today. My co-worker’s Dad just passed away in 2009. Because Dr Yue refused to treat him (because he thought that my co-worker’s dad was having some contagious skin disease) and didn’t acknowledge that his patient is having a very low Blood pressure in his office!!! Even the nurse was surprise that his Blood pressure was so low in his clinic!
I didn’t know too much detail about why or how her Dad passed away the day after he saw Dr Yu!!! They were planning to file a lawsuit against Dr Yu but at the end… They filed a complaint! Very sad!!!

Dr Yue has been our family doctor for the last 10 years. He is by far the best doctor I have ever seen. I had visited over a few dozen different doctors since I was a kid and I can really tell the difference between a good doctor and a bad one. Besides being very knowledgeable, Dr Yue can communicate and explain to patients in a way other doctors can’t. Most doctors I’ve came across either don’t bother explaining, or they simply don’t have a clue. Dr Yue is willing to share his medical knowledge in terms where I can relate to. He has a sense of humor also which makes me and my parents feel at ease and not nervous. He is an extremely busy doctor so I understand the long wait and the fact that he won’t be able to give us all the time we want. I truly see how sincere and caring he is with is and other patients. He is very ethical and professional, don’t expect him to do any questionable favors like sick leave that is uncalled for. His new office is a state of the art establishment, I really love it! my parents give him two thumbs up as he really knows how to diagnose precisely and how to use medicine perfectly. A great doctor like him is hard to find especially in this area where many doctors are either incompetent or not caring. Office staff is great, they’re approachable and friendly. I would give it a six star if I could!

He is by far the worst Doctor I’ve ever come across. I had developed a rash on my arm and leg which had been bothering me for quite some time so I went to see him since I didn’t have insurance at the time. He charged me $ 50 which was pretty cheap but he went on to tell me it’s strange that the rash was in various places on my body. He went on to suggest that I take a blood test. He told me the results would be available in a week and he would have someone call me. He gave me some allergy pills and so I left. Two weeks gone by and still no phone call from him so I call him back but all the receptionist said was that my results came back ok and hang up. Now I’m down $ 50 and my rash is still on my body. Luckily I went to Kaiser a few months later after my health insurance came in and they gave me some ointment which took care of my rash.
I had found out later that my aunt also goes to see him from time to time and told me that he made a comment why there’s so many problems with my aunt’s health. He was lucky I wasn’t there when he made that comment. Does he think my aunt purposely gets sick so she can see a doctor?
I don’t think he knows what he’s doing and I’ve already file a complaint with AMA. If you value your health and would like to be diagnosed by a competent doctor, look elsewhere. If you like a cheap doctor who gives you a wrong treatment he’s your man.

Dr. Yue is very professional Asian doctors. The office is not fancy like other Dr. offices. He’s open early and closes late and he take walk-​ins. Dr Yue and Dr Wong are great doctors.

Dr. Jimmy Yue is a fantastic doctor. He truly cares for his patients and listens to them. Dr. Yue is someone who understands both medicine and individual needs. In addition to his merit as a great doctor, he is also a good speaker. He has great communication skills and I found that I can understand him when he speaks. I always felt that my previous doctors were impersonal and when they explained things to me, they often used terms and words I had trouble comprehending. However, I feel that Dr. Yue is different. He is very patient and explains things well to his patients. He’s very professional and easy to talk to. He tries to suggest medication and medicine that fits into one’s budget. I have saved so much money on health matters because of him.
Dr. Yue also has a great staff. They’re friendly and very accommodating people.

Don’t come here unless you want to feel like you’re at a public general hospital. I had set an appointment for 11am here on a weekday and came on time. I waited for 30 minutes and approached the desk to see if the doctor by 12. The receptionist/​nurse at the front desk told me the doctor was leaving at 12 and asked if I could come back at 2pm. WTF is that. This is not the first time they’ve made me wait for an unreasonable amount of time with an appointment. Enough is enough and I just thought all should know about this second class treatment. I’m sure they’ll do fine without business with us young people. But I promise you that if they don’t clean up their act, and after their clientelle dwindles off they’ll be hungry for a new generation of clientelle. In summary, don’t come here unless you have all the time in the world and half ass physicals. You have to know what you’re going in for as well and request everything you need. I’ve been prescribed older medications that are outdated as there were newer and more effective medications available in the market upon doing further research on my own. They have mainly elderly Asian clientelle and they have remodeled the place. Based on the number of chairs they have in the waiting area this is just the aay they run their business. Parking is ample. They always refer you to the pharmacy next door called abc pharmacy. Jimmy is a nice guy, but the customer service, time management, knowledge of updated medicines can be worked on.

Wow… i don’t even know where to start…
This male Dr. speaks Cantonese/​Madarin. My parents, like many seniors that don’t speak English, they automatically assume that: A. They’re better Dr.‘s b/​c they speak their native tongue, B. Dr.‘s that know how to sweet talk (to seniors) are great people and they’re in good hands…
WRONG!
To ALL those who deeply care about their loved one, taking them here would be a BIG mistake.
A consultation with this male Dr. is faster than a fast food joint. And why is that? Because there are beautiful looking female drug representatives that he can’t wait to speak to. AND b/​c there are an overflowing amount of patients waiting… the faster a patient is seen the faster $$$ pours in…
And pray to God that you don’t have to get any type of radiology tests or scans. Why you ask? Because he marks multiple procedures on order forms that aren’t even the correct ones! How do I know that? Because the radiologist/​technician cannot give us an appointment or go on with procedure without a CLEAR direction from the Dr. himself.
If you have any type of chronic illness, don’t think you’ll get your medication in less than a few days, EVEN if you requested for it a week ago… Why? I don’t even know why! Maybe b/​c his employees are incompetent or maybe he’s too busy to even sign his patients refills.
Got an appointment? That doesn’t really matter, b/​c he’s late 100% of the time. You’ll end up waiting for him for at least 45 minutes. My personal record is more than 1 hour (with appointment). Good luck without one.
If you seem like an average Joe, well too bad… UNLESS you have maaad bling on you during your visit or if you are the super nagging type of person, then don’t think you’ll get any «care» from him. If you’re a finer looking young woman, he’ll see you a few minutes longer. And if you’re a dude, well… tough luck…
If you appear to be a wealthy, young attractive female, that doesn’t appear sick, then he might take great care of you.
As for the rest of the population, ESPECIALLY seniors, PLEASE see someone else. There are plenty of qualified professional Dr.‘s out there. What really matters is your physical health, not a convincing Dr. that can sweet talk you like a salesman just so you could walk with a higher self esteem. Though a clinic is essentially a type of business, we still deserve to get our money’s worth b/​c we care about ourselves enough to not just hand it over to an irresponsible «professional».
Btw, I took my parents somewhere else as soon as I found out how absurd this Dr. really was…
