Elisa Yoo, MD FAAD

I had a great experience seeing Dr. Yoo and her entire staff was professional. I agree with all of the positive comments made about her and it was one reason I choose her. Her Physician assistant is excellent also and the person who checks for insurance is really on top of her job. They pre qualified me and then let me how much my minor procedure would cost because I have not yet my deductible. Due to this I will wait until January but I will definitely return to her as I have had such a excellent experience so far which also included a very reasonable wait time. Yes you do have to pay to park but I feel it is well worth it for quality medical care.

Daughter’s appointment was scheduled for 11:00, arrived at 10:50. Waited over one hour even after I indicated we had to leave by 12:00. Why would anyone make patients wait over an hour? People work, have appointments, etc., and I feel it’s rude when others can not adhere to schedules. Staff was not apologetic or empathic that we were on a time schedule. We left without seeing Dr. Yoo… Will not return. Ridiculous!

It’s only time: How many of us don’t enjoy driving an hour through stop and go traffic, finding parking and filling out a ream of forms only to find out after you’ve gone through that that the doctor won’t be in the office for a week?
It’s only money: Yes, I love spending money on gas, don’t you? I also love paying for parking and paying a $ 30 copay for a useless appointment. That rocks!
First impressions are usually the most important characteristics people naturally form when researching something new be it person, place or thing. I got a face-​full façade right here.
I booked this doctor using
and wouldn’t be able to see her for a few weeks. I could live with that and received almost daily reminders from ZocDoc of my coming appointment, even on the day of the appointment. Two calls from the office for my insurance number never revealed anything about the doc not being available. Arriving a half hour early (as usual), I handed my insurance & CDL cards for duplication and was handed the obligatory ream of paperwork to fill out. I was called in and set in a room to wait for the doc when a bubbly, cheery PA comes and introduces herself. I asked where the doc was. «Oh, the doctor won’t be in the office for a week. I can reschedule, if you like.» Grrrrrrr. Of course my question of why no one thought to tell me the doc wouldn’t be in was met with shrugs and finger-​pointing. I demanded a return of my co-​pay and, at first, they refused my parking fee but I was too «Grrrr» for them and they relented. At least they got that right. There’s plenty enough violence in the news already.
Fool me once, shame on Yoo.
P. S., Every chair in the waiting room looked like someone had gotten sick on them. I sincerely recommend standing.

I felt very comfortable meeting Dr Yoo for the first time. My wait was no more than 15 minutes. She greeted me with great eye contact and discussed my concerns. She offered options and calmed my fears. I will be going back for a procedure next week I have no reason to expect anything else than the nice treatment I got today.

Decided to look up my Derm doctor on Unilocal while I’m waiting to be seen. I’m really surprised to see such negative reviews. My daughter has seen her twice and now it’s my turn.
All visits have been 5 stars. Dr Elisa Yoo is excellent. She has great bedside manners and has helped my daughter. Alway a smile on Dr Yoo’s face. After my first first appointment with her, I hope she can help me too.
The reception area was full, but I was seen in a timely manner. Anything less than an hour is timely. Medical assistants are pretty good. Physician’s assistant was good too.
Giving the doctor one star (another Unilocaler) because Dr Yoo didn’t spend more than 10 minutes is short sighted. Who cares how long she spends with you. I care about results, not about how long I spend with a doctor. In my experience, the doctors who spend a long time with you don’t know what they’re doing and often get it wrong. When you are a good doctor, you know what to do and you just get it done. If you want to talk about your problems and your life, go to a shrink.
Yes, I would recommend Dr Yoo. No, I do not know her outside of clinical care.
Too often Unilocalers feel the need to bash someone without much thought to their reputation. It’s another form of cyber bullying. So I want to say, «keep up the good work Dr Yoo!»

I’m very frustrated with the office staff AND Dr. Yoo. They have neglected to forward my medical records to my new doctor in a professional manner and time frame, and I’ve spent a lot of time following up with people that don’t do their job.
Handling medical records is an important part of the patient experience, and for this Dr. Yoo and her staff receive an «F.»

Dr Yoo spent a great deal of time with me. She did talk a touch too technical for me but I just asked her to explain and she did. I felt very comfortable in her office and will follow up with her. I love that they can email my prescriptions to my pharmacy of choice which saves time! I recommend Dr Yoo.

Today was the second time I visited this medical office. It was also the second time I waited roughly an hour and a half before I got to spend 5 whole minutes with the doctor! Wow, really? And a $ 20 co-​pay to boot? Lucky me! So, yeah… I totally won’t be going back to this place!

Dr. Yoo is mediocre and not diligent, although I thought her staff was ok.

Dr. Elisa Yoo is nice and knowledgeable but her office staff is under qualified and disorganized. They are also pests about paying right up front. They filed my insurance wrong, did not apply my payments to my deductible then sent me to collections for a $ 150 dollar bill I already made a payment on. Ridiculous since I had already paid them almost 300 dollars out of pocket. They also refused to resubmit my claim and pestered me with annoying phone calls.
There used to be a review on here that called them «money hungry» and I have to agree.
I don’t recommend you visit this office.

Waited 45 minutes in the waiting room. Walked out.
UGH.

Dr. Yoo is an incredible dermatologist and person! The office is very nice, clean, and all around friendly.
She offers general dermatological needs, Restylane, Botox, Radiesse, Sclerotherapy, laser hair removal, and other laser treatments.
If you’re looking for personalized, professional, and proficient care I would definitely recommend her to all!
