Brought a finding on a CAT scan to my attention. I was not told about the issue when CAT scan was ordinally done. Dr Yee was very helpful and recommended another CAT scan to see if that have been any changes and to keep me informed of results. This put me at easy that someone was watching out for me.

I have been with Dr Yee since 2014, and after several years before then trying to find what was really wrong with me it took her minutes to evaluate it and probably had she not been on the team to check me I would not be here since then we have formed a relationship that is second to none I don't know anyone when you mention her name that doesn't have high accolades with her and her work I'm so grateful to know Dr Emily Yee
