George K Yeh, MD

Dr. George Yeh is cool. I lost faith with him once but that was my own stresses because I had Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and this kinda thing isn’t easy to ID even with a specialist, so it was not his fault, and he referred me to Dr. Andy Yu. Other than specialized things, he’s just good and fast in diagnosis. I’ve been seeing him since 2006. One thing not too good is he’s not spending lots of time for you to dig out your problem (s), so you gotta know what exactly your complaints are before visiting. About his front desk clerks, I have no comment because I usually just accept whenever the time available like 2~3pm 10~11am time, so usually I am not at the moment when their office is loaded with lots of people.

First time being here. Dr. James Yeh asked carefully about my syndrome, family history, and background. He explained and discussed with me in very details. He also did the blood test for me with good skills (I don’t feel any pain). Not a bad experience!

The office illegally asked me to pay an extra fee (not in compliance with the insurance policy). When I called the insurance provider to find out, they got pissed off and left me a voice message saying «Dr. Yeh wants to avoid the trouble so we can no longer provide any service to you». I could have reported them to the insurance company, but I decided to move on.
In addition, one of the front desk staff was always rude and ironic to the patients.

I visited Dr James Yeh for my annual physical. This is the first time I have seen him. He is very cost conscience. There are a lot of things that he did not think I need to do as often as I have thought because I am still young. He spent almost half hour with me, which I thought was very rare for doctors these days. I also didn’t have a wait for long after my scheduled time. Yes, the front desk could haven been more friendly or understanding. The ladies are both Chinese, so I think if you speak Chinese (Mandarin), then you’ll think that they are ok. However, I wouldn’t let the front ladies be in the way of me not getting a great doctor. One last thing, Dr Yeh actually called me himself to let me know what my blood test show. It is NOT bc the blood test show any bad thing is going on, I was just glad that he called himself. Usually, the doctor will tell the nurse /​front desk to call. I thought that was unusual for a doctor so caring.

I don’t usually post many Unilocal reviews, but I had to give James and George their credit for being amazing doctors. I’ve been with James for the past 6 years, and there are no doctors better than him, and trust me I’m a nurse so I’ve been with plenty. He is very thorough with his assessments and explains everything to you. He is kind, and really cares about your needs. You never feel rushed with him unlike other doctors. If your looking for a primary care physician, he’s your guy!

I have been coming here since i passed the age limit at my pediatrician. My parents– even longer than that. To have an experience is truly disappointing.
The front desk assistant is super rude! And they don’t respect customer time at all! They ask all customers to pay if they have to reschedule. Knowing that they’re busy I made extra sure I arrived 5−10minuted early just to hear that they’re currently behind schedule. It’s understandable for offices to run behind schedule but the way the office lady told the customers was extremely rude! She just nonchalantly said «we’re behind schedule.» I told them that I have another appointment right afterwards so it’s hard to wait today and she just told me «well that’s too bad. You have to run on our schedule. if you can’t wait for us then you will have to go somewhere else»
I rephrased this, because the assistant sucks at english and she used mandarin/​broken english to communicate these things. But it was definitely under the same sentiment.
I am a busy person and I took time off and scheduled other appointments after this. I can’t just get delayed without notice! I told the lady that this is not a possibility for me. She felt super entitled to this and asked me not to come back! She said «we have many patients» as if the world revolves around them!
The younger doctor I. use to see has always been nothing but nice to me. This is just disappointing

The MDs are competent & caring (especially the father, George), however the office ladies are simply rude– if not for them, I would have given at least 4 stars for the doctoring services provided. I work in health services myself and understand that it is difficult serving all patients especially when it’s high volume, but it is no excuse for shutting down a patient when she had been waiting patiently and simply wanted to confirm whether it was necessary to check in because not a single receptionist had bothered to greet her. Part of the experience when visiting a doctor definitely includes the wait time before seeing the doctor, and my experience was absolutely terrible (the check in at least) Regardless of how great a doctor is, patient relationships need to be positive throughout the visit. The office ladies, specifically the younger one, needs to work on her bedside manner. I really don’t know why she’s in this field to help people because her behavior clearly indicates that she does not want to be here. Just wanted to put it out there.

Dr. George Yeh is my family doctor since I moved to the area over 15 years ago. He is a very caring doctor who always follow up on my cases. True he no longer accept new patients, so I am seeing his son James more often. James is equally good.

Great Doctor and I“ve been seeing him for over 20 years!

Dr. George Yeh is a great, great doctor. My parents had been seeing him for years when I began to see him as well, and he is always wonderful. He listens to everything you have to say, and is very thorough. He also is very knowledgeable and experienced, and as mentioned in previous posts, he comes from a hematologist background. He actually was the first to notice an anomaly in my mother’s blood workup and suggested she see an oncologist. Without his keen eye, her underlying condition that eventually led to leukemia would have gone undiagnosed.
Recently I have been seeing his son, Dr. James Yeh, more often than Dr. George Yeh (I think patients who have been with Dr. George Yeh longer tend to request him out of habit), but I enjoy seeing Dr. James Yeh as well. He is just as thorough as his father and really goes out of his way to make you feel comfortable and cared for. He has called me back concerning lab results and tests, and never makes me feel rushed. He always wants to make sure we cover everything I need to before I go. Like his father, he is also very conscious about insurance and potential costs, and never wants to run up unnecessary charges. They both are very good about making sure you have generic prescription options if available.
The office staff is very efficient as well, and I have not had any problems with them. They do work very hard to squeeze you in if it is an emergency. It is often very busy so its worth it to try and make appointments well ahead of time if you can — but again, when it is urgent, they do their best to squeeze you in even if you have to wait. A professional, knowledgeable, and efficient office staff really can do wonders for a doctor’s practice, and can make or break a visit in my opinion.
Both Dr. George and Dr. James Yeh are exceptional physicians. They truly care and always go out of their way to help, especially in emergencies. I highly recommend them both.

My parents have been going to Dr. Yeh for a very long time. I also see him as my family doctor. He is great. He always will take me in if I have a problem. I hate having my blood drawn for tests because they keep saying I have small veins and they can never get it. Dr. Yeh always gets my vein on the first try. He can’t see it, he says he can feel it. Whatever the reason, I have no apprehension when he does a blood draw. He keeps me on track now that I am a type II diabetic without being preachy.

Dr. Yeh has been wonderful to me and my family! We’ve been going to see him for over ten years and I’ve moved a lot since then, but Dr. Yeh has remained my favorite doctor. He really takes the time to understand his patients and take care of the symptoms. I always feel genuinely cared for and it just makes me a little sad that he will be retiring soon. I don’t think he’s accepting anymore new patients, but his son, Dr. James Yeh is (who also happens to share the same office) and I think he’s great too!

In a short summary: You cannot find a better family doctor anywhere.
Honestly, I don’t know what I’m going to do after he retires. What makes him good? Because he cares about his paitents. One time he and his wife was suppose to go on vacation, he delayed his vacation for me.
I have been seeing him for over 10 years. I can recall many times he will have me come in on Sat or after hours just to see me. Also, he does not seem to care about money at all. Many times when I come in after hours or on Sat when he has no assistance, he does even bother with the insurance paperwork or co-​payment. It seems to me that the only thing he concern about is his paitients.

My insurance pay doctor visit and blood test for annual physical exam (prevention care)
My husband and i came here to do annual physical exam. docotor use wrong code in blood lab claim. so insurance refuse to pay. We phoned many calls and wast many hours and find out that this docotor need to resubmit prevent care code to amend. But When we told doctor this situation, he said he operate this office with cost a lot and can not waste time to help me claim just US$ 20.00 around. and told us to find another doctor.
Yes! I fired you doctor alredy.
You mixed up bill and wast my precious time to call and rude to me. Just a simple annual exam you would mix up. How can patient trust you cure sickness!
When a nonsense! doctor himself make mistake,

Dr. Yeh’s been our family doctor for YEARS… my parents have been seeing him ever since we moved into the San Jose area 20 years ago. He’s been my doctor since my pediatrician kicked me out… yes… i was a 13 year old still seeing a pediatrician. He gently reminded me that I was starting to tower over his infant patients…
Anyway… Dr. Yeh is also a hematologist specialist. He does his own blood draws in there so we don’t have to go to another lab or anything. He’s quick to return calls and more than once has squeezed me into his schedule to do a quick check when I have emergency issues.

I’ve been going to Dr. Yeh for over ten years now and he is great! I started seeing him when I was a teenager and from the first visit I knew this doctor was in it for his patients. He is really caring and answers all your questions. I don’t know where I’m going to find another doctor as caring as he is because he will soon be retiring. At my last visit he told me he no longer is accepting new patients, but hopefully his son will take over his practice and great care will continue.
