I don't even like to talk about it. I saw Dr. Yung for wildly fluctuating menstrual cycle (what I now know was the start of perimenopause, but no one told me that, certainly not Dr. Yung). She wouldn't listen to my explanation and kept cutting me off and telling me it wasn't highly variable (ranging from 2 weeks to 3 months? Not variable?). At one point interrupted to ask if sex was painful. She was abrupt and rude. Without explaining the procedure, I had a uterine biopsy with no preparation, no pain relief. I swear my soul left my body. It was so painful I started shaking from the shock. She looked down at me like I was a bug she was experimenting on. She didn't give me any instructions and left me in a puddle of blood for me to clean myself up and leave the office. I called, but I never heard back the results, and I never went back. Traumatic. read more

I had an extremely disappointing and confusing experience with this doctor. She is now claiming she performed surgery on me--but no surgery ever took place. I never received any procedure, post-op instructions, or any signs that anything was done. Throughout my visits, both she and her staff made me feel like I was a burden rather than a patient. When she said she couldn't find anything, she quickly scheduled me for a well-woman exam and a mammogram. At the time, I didn't understand why--but now I feel like it was a way to pad my chart or billing records. I ended up not going back because the environment was so uncomfortable. This experience has left me feeling manipulated and misled. I trusted this doctor with my care, and instead I feel like I was treated with disrespect and possibly used for billing purposes. This is unprofessional, unacceptable, and possibly fraudulent. read more

UPDATED: so after I posted this review, Meleana from billing department contacted me and explained to me why dr Alice name appears on my bills. She responded to me quick, apologize for the confusion. So forgot about the bill, I increased from 1-3 stars because I still don't like the front desk attitude, but 5 stars for Meleana This office billed me a bill cost more than $1k even I never go there before. I didnt even kow this Doctor. I caled the office to complained they said they have not bill but another department. They took my phone, name, date of birth saying will call me back for this matter but never call. This is irresponsible!!!! Edit : Well, I called 2 weeks ago, spoke with a girl and she told me to call billing department. Its not my job to call them, your office need to call them then call to let me know. She also collect the full name, phone number and my bday. She said someone will call me but no one. It doesnt seem right to me too because I never went to your office how come your department billed me?? Luckily I checked and called my insurance right away so they denied that bill. read more

Alice Yung, MD - Billing - Obstetricians & Gynecologists Near Me - Pasadena, California

Awful experience. During my hysterectomy, Dr Young punctured my bladder, which forced me to undergo a second surgery to repair the damage she caused. She showed no compassion or accountability and offered no help with the added costs and hardship. She's a terrible doctor. STAY AWAY! read more

Been seeing this doctor for over a year now and so far, it's been a very positive experience. She is someone who takes the time to ask you questions about your health and wellness and I think that's not easy to come by these days. I never feel rushed and she is thorough with her care. I'm going to recommend other family members to her in the future. read more

I got a bill for $254.88 from Alice Yung after three months of getting NO real service. I WOUDL AVOID this Dr. at all costs- she is not compassionate and not professional. AVOID AVOID AVOID. I will be putting in a formal complaint at the CA Medical Board. This person should NOT call herself a Dr. and her practice should be closed for taking advantage of patients. read more

When I was finally pregnant after years and years of trying, three IVF rounds and 2 losses, I knew I needed a caring, thorough and attentive OBGYN to get me through. After interviewing at least 3 OBGYN, Dr. Yung was the clearest choice. No contest. When I told her my history and how nervous I was about another loss, she put her papers down, sat with me and told me there was nothing I could have done differently before and we will do everything possible to make sure this baby is healthy. And that meant the world to me. From the start, she was incredibly thorough. Looked over every detail and left no stone unturned. She does not have a partner or any NPs so she will handle every appointment personally and will never ever rush you. This naturally means you will sometimes have a long wait to see her. It's a small price to pay for such attentive care. You also know she will deliver your baby and you won't have a last minute switch. She is even available for after hours emergencies and will respond to calls without fail. She is practically a concierge doctor with her level of personal attention and care. She also listened to every concern I had and let me make decisions regarding delivery without trying to influence me. She gave me the facts, answered my questions, and pressed ahead with what we wanted. When my pregnancy became complicated she became even more attentive and when my post partum care was not up to her standard at an ER visit at a hospital near me, she was on the phone late at night with the hospital telling them what they needed to do for me and remained involved start to finish. I truly do not understand some of these reviews. I drive over an hour to see her and will continue to do so because I trust her completely. read more

Dr. Yung is highly professional and genuinely cares about her patients. The office staff is also friendly and extremely helpful.

12/9/24 - updating my review for Dr. Alice Yung. She called me on the evening of my appointment was canceled the last minutes. I had some questions regarding my treatment, she gave me some insights. She is actually a nice and kind doctor who cares about her patients. I think there is somewhat disconnection between her and her staff. It seems like one or more than one of her staff were absent when I had my tele doc appointment, so I wasn't notified the doctor was running late on that day. Dr. Yung told me someone from her office will give me a call following day, so I can make a follow up appointment. That was last Wednesday. I waited on Thursday and Friday, no call from her office. I received a call from the doctor's office on Monday evening so I'm still have a mixed feeling, but the fact that I got a follow up call (after 3 business days tho) I decided to update my review. read more

I'm coming back here surprised that this business is still running and this "Doctor" is still getting patients. I feel so bad for these women who have gone through the same experience with this practice and hope they find a better gynecologist. Don't settle, ladies. Find someone better and it won't be hard, trust me. read more

I waited a total of an hour and 15 minutes before I had to leave. While I was refunded my co-pay, I still paid $9:00 in parking for nothing. The appropriate business practice would be to reimburse one for that. Why would you consider booking appointments when you are unable to honor the appointment time?? I did not feel like going to the appointment that morning, but forced myself, thinking about my commitment and respect for the Dr's time. The irony! read more

I have have had 3 visits with doctor and every visit is a 2+ hour wait to be seen.. the last 2 visits my blood pressure was really high when taken (160 & 180) and was sent home when she was done with me.. very shocked.. why is it so hard to find a good doctor read more

Many of the negatives I've read here were my experiences also. I wish I'd checked up on Yelp beforehand. I was recommended this practice by my physician. I'll give him my feedback in order to save others any possibly unpleasant experiences. Just let me say: read what others have written. Think twice. I know a good gynaecologist when I see one. Ms Yung is not one of them. Plus her staff are neither welcoming nor efficient. I'd sooner write no review than a bad one normally. I am making an exception on this occasion. I'd rather no one was, potentially, made to feel as uncomfortable with this practice and this doctor as I was. read more

Should've read the reviews before going. Chose her because she was the closest ob/gyn that was in network with my new insurance. Waited 1.5 hours to be seen. Appt was at 9:30, and I was seen at 10:55...and not even an "I'm sorry for the wait," as she non-chalantly introduced herself. Clearly she does not value her patients' time, like many other reviews expressed. On top of that, her pelvic exams are so painful. Never going back. read more

"Dr." Yung should be considered a joke to the medical field. The malpractice and lack of information/guidance my wife received in regards to her pregnancy loss is beyond anything we've experienced. And now, 2 years later, she has the audacity to send us a bill which is disgusting. Shame on Alice Yung. We were told we should sue for malpractice when all of this went down, but we just wanted to cut ties with this woman altogether. I guess now we have no other choice. Less than zero stars should be an option. read more

My family doctor referred me to Dr. Yung's office. I have been scheduled for 11am this morning, and I arrived at 10:40am as I am a new patient and I want to be a little bit earlier so I can fill out the paperwork and questionnaire for the doctor's office they may have. When I arrived, they gave me the paperwork to fill out and asked me if I can leave a picture of me at their office, I think I was never been asked this question before in any kind of doctor's office, so I said no. That is not my major issue with this office, the biggest problem is the time, they asked me to go to doctors office when I finished my paperwork, first they put me to a nurse room to check my weight,height, and the blood pressure, that is all normal. Then she told me I am ready to go to another office, so I was there waited for about 23-25 minutes, i though dr. Alice is going to see me at that office. Unexpectedly, with no explanation, she took me to another dr.'s office and make me wait, I waited for about 35 minutes there, the door was closed, but I can hear Dr. Alice was walking close to my door but she's not going to my room, she's seeing another patient ahead of me. So that means I will wait another 45 minutes probably before I see Dr. Alice. I never had this kind of experience being waiting for an hour and not giving any notice, but put me into a closed room, honestly it feels like in a jail. I would like dr. Alice to give me a call in order to explain the whole situation. At the beginning, when I walked into the office I saw there were two staffs working in the front office, I was impressed how organized their office might've been by having two supporting staffs for one doctor. Very disappointed in the end by their time management and the way they put me in the office for such a long amount of time and not giving any explanation. I hope this is review can help other people understand that how this office works and if there is a misunderstanding, I would like to have the doctor to call me. I spent one hour and 25 minutes in the waiting room and not been able to see the doctor, such a waste of time, also paid for the parking. read more

Integrity? Service before self? Not for this doctor! Took a loved one here for an appointment, and it's the single worst medical visit I've ever experienced or witnessed. Alice was indifferent, impatient, and insulting--I guess my loved one's medical issue was too inconvenient for her, given the sloppy and painful exam she put her through (at light speed). Hope you like being upsold on expensive non-medical supplementary services, because that's the norm here. Just take a look at all of the "Ask us about [expensive cosmetic treatment]!" posters littering her waiting area and exam rooms. It doesn't matter what your issue is, cuz Alice will find an excuse to "recommend" one (truly a sleazy moment, I was honestly shocked at what I was hearing). I guess it makes sense that her office is in the building's basement. That's where all the rats live. In closing, thought I'd just share a little tip for you, "Doctor": if you're going to be crazy rude to your office staff and micromanage them, you should probably avoid doing it in front of your patients. They might get the idea that you're an incompetent, greedy, petty bourgeois garbage can, instead of a physician. At least let them discover that *after* the appointment, so you can still get paid! After all, that's what you really care about. read more

Always late for wife's appointments We are as busy in our lives as the doctor We are working professionals as well and punctuality is a measure of how you value someone else's time. She knows her field but I believe that's not enough Please look somewhere else if this is important for you. read more

An absolutely unethical doctor. A friend of mine was a patient of Dr Yung and was pushed to be induced to fit in with the doctor's schedule when she had a healthy pregnancy with no risk factors. Afraid of offending the doctor and it leading to a bad relationship at the end of her pregnancy, she reluctantly consented to the induction at 39 weeks. While in labor, the doctor intentionally created a stressful situation for the baby to lead it to an emergency c-section so that she may "leave early" and not have to deliver past midnight. Absolutely unacceptable practice. read more

Knowledgeable, professional, and supportive. Took a full medical history and made evidence based recommendations. Thank you for taking your time and going into your lunch! read more

Alice Yung, MD - Painting with soft lighting - Obstetricians & Gynecologists Near Me - Pasadena, California

See all

I do NOT recommend Dr. Alice Yung. This was my first time visiting a gynecologist and I left her office as quickly as I could. In my opinion, her bedside manner is horrific, she is rude and short and completely lacks empathy. In a space that's incredibly vulnerable for women, I was hoping for a doctor who eased my discomfort, and Dr. Yung only made it worse. Her pelvic exam had me in tears, and as a young woman doing this for the first time, needless to say it'll be awhile before I can return to an OBGYN again. And fast forward a few months later I'm receiving a call from her billing department that I owe $179.00 and am being sent to collections although I never received notice of a bill. Before your appointment she makes you sign a paper saying you waive your rights to a trial in the event of a malpractice and now I understand why. read more

New patient- Appointment was scheduled over a month ago and was canceled on the same day(09May). Next available appointment is until July. Based on other reviews, it's a repeatable issue. Appointment dates/times are limited. Save your time, look for someone else. read more

Do not go to this doctor! She massively overcharges and she double books, so you will wait an hour plus for each appointment with no explanation. I decide to go to this doctor because she was in network with my PPO insurance. I went to 3 routine appointments and paid my co pay each time and then after 4 months received a bill for $600. I have had 3 appointments with her and waited 50min to 1hr 15min each time before seeing her. No one ever mentioned she was running behind or gave an indication of how long I'd be waiting. When I asked I was told "it's just because she books a lot of patients"... read: She double books so she can make more money. Very shady. read more

Alice Yung is a disgrace of a doctor. I wish I could give zero stars. SUMMARY: the doctor is insensitive, dismissive, presumptuous, rude, and lacks professionalism in how she runs her practice. I went for an annual exam and to do a consultation. I waited over an hour to be seen, all the while overhearing her talking with some one in the next room over. I had to go ask the front staff how much longer it would take and then a while later she finally she came in. No regard for her patient's schedules. This was never acknowledged by her and I never received an apology. When I finally was seen it was very rushed, the doctor would ask me questions then cut me off in the middle of me speaking. I expressed an interest in being off of a hormonal contraceptive, she sarcastically said "sounds like you're very natural," then proceeded to recommend a hormonal contraceptive. Clearly not listening to me. I had a question on her opinion for a procedure for family planning, as it tied into my long term goals, and she told me "it's expensive, you probably can't afford it." That was her opinion. Mind you she has absolutely no clue what my income is. It was the most inappropriate response I could imagine. Oh and she walked out of the room effectively ending the consultation while I was literally mid sentence asking her a question. I wasted my time and money here. If you're looking for a doctor who will respect you, provide quality care, listen to you, and make you feel like you have a voice in managing your own health do not book with her. I don't usually write negative reviews, truly, but this was an exceptionally bad experience. I'm hoping this helps some one avoid making the same mistake that I did. I booked just because she was in network for me and very conveniently located. I wish I had read her Yelp reviews first. Trust the negative reviews on here. I went in excited to be working with a new doctor and left feeling disgusted. read more

We have requesting patient summary from doctors office for last couple of months. Every time got the same response that the doctor has not signed off the summary. Not sure what's taking it so long. Really pathetic and unprofessional doctors. Beware of this place. Would have rated negative for such a rude behavior read more

This Doctor is extremely rude and apparently racist. I went in for a consult for menopause issues and she made me feel like I was a negligent and on track for uterin, breast and who knows what type of cancer. I work out, eat right and have a PPO. I have annual doctors appointments. She made me feel guilty for being over 50! She also handed me a hormone book and asked me if I was capable of reading. Yes Latin women read! Mrs Yung!! I shrugged it off as a misunderstanding due to the mask, but It sounds like my first impression was correct. I was struggling to commit to my follow up, now I know my feelings were valid. I am a blessed to have the medical resources and access to the best doctors in LA, next time I will research before going to a new doctor. I have only experienced positive service with qualified and caring doctors in Pasadena. No one should ever talk down to you in a health screening, Doctors are getting paid to see you. Awful experience and I was relieved that I am not alone in my first impression of her. The office is in a basement with no windows, it's a bleak space with a lack of Joyful energy for expecting mothers. Stay away! I waited an hour!!!! read more

DO NOT GO HERE! MESS OF A PLACE FOR A PATIENT! LONG BUT NECESSARY REVIEW. This is my first time leaving a review on anyone but I promised myself after visiting this office, I was going to make it my business to write a review. If I can help someone skip this hurtful situation of a practice, then this review won't be in vain. Let me start by saying, I am a tourist to LA. The experience has been a great one until I stepped foot into this office. Upon entry, I felt the most discomfort in the atmosphere and from the staff. I immediately thought to myself, "Do not be this type of girl that thinks you are being looked at differently or treated differently because you are of the darker persuasion". So I dismissed my thoughts and went on with my appointment. After giving the clerk my insurance card and filling out the necessary information, I was invited into the first room to answer further questions and have my blood pressure taken. I usually get anxious at doctors visit so my pressure was a bit elevated. While sitting there, the clerk told me that my insurance which was PPO said and I quote, " I am sorry but your insurance said you are only covered with the hospitals. So I am sorry. I don't know if you will be able to still see doctor or if you will still want to see doctor because it will have to be out of pocket". After trying to convey that my insurance was indeed PPO, when I asked the price out of pocket, which much hesitation as if the price may have been to high for me (mannerism evaluated and assumed), she said, "Its $300 but it depends on what she does with you today, it can go up to $500, I am not sure". I then replied, I will still like to see the doctor. Immediately the attitude changed and I was dealt with so nicely because I could have paid the money. That in itself was a turn off for me but I continued with the visit. It was time to go in and see the doctor. From onset her tone was one of disdain. She started her questioning and as I answered, she would respond with this one sentence, "I don't know. Oh I dont know". Making me feel like if I was giving her attitude while I answered. I was trying to be present and responsive, while analyzing myself because, clearly I was saying something wrong. We got to the part of me having sex or not and I said I am not active. Her response was, " But i thought you have a partner?" I said " yes but I am not active". She replied, " oh! So you a partner and not active?' I said, " Yes". She responded, "I don't know". So to pacify the tension in the air I said, "thank your for your patience". Because I even thought my Caribbean accent was difficult to understand. I can safely say now though, it is not, since I am often asked back home, if I lived or live in the US (making me a lot easier to understand). Got to the examination and ultrasound. So here I am thinking, I can be relaxed and share with my doctor, so I said, " I am more prone to getting infections. They did a HVS for me a cou....." Yes! I could not finish my sentence because with much disgust in her voice, she asked me, " What is a HVS"? I was truly caught off guard because she is a OBGYN and a HVS is a High Vaginal Swab or Genitalia Swab. She responded like if I was talking crap of all crap. During this time then she went on to tell me I have PCOS. What this doctor is UNAWARE of is, my field of study is Medical Laboratory Technology. So I knew very well what I was referring to. I left there not making this known because it was pointless. If you think this is bad, it got WORST. My fiance and I were about to get married in the following weeks and I was about to engage in intercourse. So I asked her, "Can you tell me a little about the copper IUD". She looked back at me with this death stare and said, " We cannot deal with that right now. That will need another consultation (yup! more money). You have PCOS and you are high risk for diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease and infertility. We need to deal with that first. We cannot talk about birth control." I was dismissed and felt so belittled. Now I wold have understood if she said something in the ball park of, "thats an extensive topic since there are options like X Y Z; We will have to further discuss". But she shut me down completely and gave me more fright than anything else. The goodly doctor wanted to check my pressure again because it was initially elevated. Upon checking it was still high. So of course she wanted to know if I suffer with HBP. I told her no. She then said, "after patients see me there pressure goes down". So I said, " I am a bit worked up" Of course before I could finish that sentence she said, "Okay, I don't know. Patients pressure goes down". UM NO MA'AM. There pressure will go up because you are far from patient caring. The next week I had another doctors appointment and guess what? My pressure reading was absolutely fine. The entire experience at this office was terrible. From front desk to "back desk". read more

Wonderful OB/gyn . Great physician for all OB and gyn care .attentive. Treat you like family!

Dr. Yung delivered my daughter in 2017. 9 months of appointments and not one ever started on time. In fact, like many others here, a couple of my appointments ran an hour late. My first appointment, Dr. Yung made a big deal about my weight. She said I'm within the "normal" range for my height, but that I can only put on 30lbs this pregnancy so be careful. This was incredibly insensitive and it really hurt me. Here I was, so excited for my first pregnancy and scared of the unknown -- and she goes on to say I'm not overweight but watch it over the next 9 months. I just feel like there's a nice way to go about that. But my BIGGEST issue with Dr. Yung was she tried to push me to be induced at 40w1d because "it aligned with her hospital induction day." Like, way to put your schedule before my labor plan (oh wait, she didn't even ask me for a labor plan). My water ended up breaking at 38w anyway -- but I was seriously stressed over having to go against her wishes. I had a healthy pregnancy and I knew it was normal to go a bit over 40w, but I felt pushed around. read more

Dr Yung is over booked in appointments. There are times that I would wait in an exam room for over an hour for her. Also her nurse- the older filipina lady would double charge me on bills that I have already paid. Invoices would not be itemized properly and usually handwritten. This makes it very hard to submit recipets to my HSA account. This place is not worth coming. read more

I went on Yelp to find Dr. Yung's phone number and was saddened to see some negative reviews. Yelp is a great way to find new business or address of business. I think reviews are great if you are looking for a specific service but healthcare shouldn't be judged on customer service. I mean, I rather go to a competent doctor who knows her stuff then a doctor that can socialize with me and "care" about what's going on with my life. Reviews cannot show the doctors skills and that is what's important to me. Regarding the long wait times, Dr. Yung delivered my first born 11 years ago and my second, 6 years ago. I do agree that in the past, I can be in and out of there within one hour and the most I have waited is 1.5hrs but it is nothing to complain about. When I am in the room with her for my yearly physicals, she answers all my questions, goes over my entire year of medical history and everything else. I have never felt rushed which is probably why her appointments are never on time. I mean, do you want her to rush you if you have a page of questions? If you don't, then don't complain about the long wait. The person before you wasn't done so the appointments are delayed. Also, in any medical practice, double booking will occur because not ALL patients show up! I work in a medical office and we call patients 3 days ahead, then 1 day ahead to remind them of their appointments and some STILL don't show up! Honestly, doctors need to make a living, they don't get paid much already because their fees for service is already set by health insurance. Just because they put down $x to bill you doesn't mean that's how much they get paid. The reimbursements are set by insurance and how much they charge you is also set by your insurance plan. Wages are going up, rents are going up but reimbursements for doctors are going down...maybe sometimes when you are complaining about something, put yourself in their shoes first and think. It's quite harsh to say that she is a money hungry doctor cuz she doubles on her appointments. She is an OBGYN, it doesn't get anymore selfless than that. She has to leave HER child behind no matter the time to help YOU deliver YOUR new bundle of joy whenever he/she chooses to arrive. Also, there was a reviewer who thought that Dr. Yung was being insensitive because she told her to watch her weight. I mean when you are pregnant, you need to watch how much weight you gain cuz you can get gestational diabetes and other health issues. When I was pregnant with my first born, I gained 38lbs and at 30lbs Dr. Yung told me not to eat anymore rice! Did I get offended, NO! I thought eating more would help my baby grow but guess what, all the weight went on me! It took me 5 years to lose that 30lbs so for my 2nd baby, I really watched my weight and went back to my normal weight after 1 year of delivering my daughter. Sorry for this long review but Dr. Yung is a very responsible doctor. She may not seem very personable to some and maybe that is her personality but that doesn't bother me. I am not there to make friends, I am there for my health and I believe that whatever she says to me is in my best interest. I called the office today to request for some changes in paperwork. The staff took my message and Dr. Yung personally talked to me to see what the issue was. You can't ask for a better doctor! read more

I had a bad set of experiences with this DR. She did random things to me I didn't need like "let's check your blood type" and other things that left me with a huge bill after my insurance. Then she was rude, I felt as if she was trying to guilt me about not wanting to be pregnant. Tried to have me listen to the heart beat. Called me promiscuous and said my boyfriend would most likely give me an STD so I couldn't use the birth control option I wanted. I told her I had a family history of weight gain, she prescribed me birth control that the next OBGYN told me was known for weight gain (I gained 20 pounds) It's been a while since I've come to her but I still think about her often. Her rude comments. Her little guilt trips. I hope others don't have my same experience as I did. read more

I'm not usually one to leave reviews, but I had such a terrible experience this morning I need to share so no one else has to deal with this. I just switched insurances so I went in to get a birth control consult and my yearly exam. Thankfully I was seen pretty quickly, but the doctor was not prepared when she got into my room. I added the well woman exam after I got there and she was so shocked that I needed to get my yearly checkup. When we talked about birth control I told her that I have gained weight on my current one and I wanted to know other options that weren't an IUD. She only really told me about the IUD so I said I would stay on my current pill because there's not a guaranteed better option. She gave me a snide remark after that saying that there probably was something better...I'm just confused why she didn't help me more?? Next we got ready for the exam and she made me so uncomfortable about it. Im currently on my period and use a cup so I asked her if that is okay or if I need to take it out. The nurse has said it was okay but I just wanted to let her know what was going on. She completely ignored me and then was SO shocked that I had a cup in and acted so disgusted. At this point I was mortified and felt so uncomfortable about her reaction. She's a doctor so I expected more professionalism, especially about something I asked about beforehand. Next while she was doing the exam she asked me about my exercise routine. I told her I try to walk multiple times a week and she told me I need to be doing much more strenuous exercise. I told her I run too but have taken a break since until recently it was too hot to run, and she was shocked I didn't have a gym membership. I felt horrible about myself. As someone who avoids the doctor because of a history of disordered eating and being told horrible things about myself from doctors this was the last thing I needed. At the end of the appointment she refused to let me go into the bathroom without an escort to "avoid cross contanimation" (of what, I don't know) but at this point all I wanted to do was get out of there. Between all of this, the many posters on the wall advertising weight loss programs, and the fact that the doctor tried to upsell me multiple times, I will be finding a new doctor. Do yourself a favor and don't even try going to her once! This was truly the worst experience I have ever had at a doctors office. read more

She knows her stuff, and I'm sure is a consummate doctor, but I've decided to take my medical needs elsewhere. She asks if you've gained weight in a kind of rude way? And in general discusses your weight in a way that I feel is necessary. I mean I understand if weight-gain is a concern but theres gotta be a better way to phrase it. It's also borderline impossible to get through to her office via phone. Also personally, being put on hold all the time when trying to reach her office, and also having to listen to advertisements about her sculpting service doesn't do anything for my body image issues. its hard to go to a doctor for your health and end up with your mind on your body's looks, you know? read more

I visited several times for ovarian cyst issues. Dr. Yung was helpful in diagnosing the issue by sending me out for ultrasounds and even an MRI. I felt that I was called back to the office to be given results and for blood tests often. Visits could have been better bundled to avoid co-pays. I'd advice patients to try to consolidate these. Results were given rather mater-a-factly, with the assumption that I'd understand every medical term with no questions. Dr. Yung recommended a full hysterectomy for my issue. Not excited about that, I sought a second opinion. I've now successfully completed surgery for complete cyst and fibroid removal. Uterus and ovaries intact. The main reason I am leaving this review is to advice patients to get a second opinion. Dr. Yung's recommendation would have thrown me into early menopause releasing a slew of issues my body didn't need to experience. We often feel like Dr. recommendations are golden and should always be accepted. But in this case, getting a second opinion saved me from a full hysterectomy. I'm not sure if Dr. Yung thought this the best option for her time and practice or for me. But listening to the needs of the patient and saving what isn't bad or dangerous in my body should have been the number one goal. read more

Worst experience I have ever had with a health office specialized in female care! I waited almost 2 hours past my appointment time to see the doctor and Dr. Yung did not even apologize. Her bedside manner is lacking and she read my chart in front of me because she didn't prepare for our appointment. She questioned the report of my health history because it was atypical which felt more challenging than helpful around sensitive issues. Finally, her routine tests were not performed correctly so I was informed I would need to redo them. Feedback on these results was not automatically provided so I had to call several times for my results. As someone who has worked for UCLA hospital and interacted with other top-notch health care providers, this was far below sub-par care and quite concerning! read more

So, at this point I've come back several times. Each appointment resulted in me realizing that no, she's not just being blunt. She's just rude and socially inept. Most recently, after two visits over several weeks, my problem is still not resolved. I've sought a second opinion on treatment elsewhere. One time I was the only person in the office. I waited perhaps 30 minutes since the doctor was not in yet, despite booking me for an early appointment. My door was open. It's very close to her office. After her nurse says I've been waiting for some time, her simple response was: "She waits for me. I wait for no one." Cool. We all have "real talk" thoughts with our work, but learn a thing or two about customer service. You're not my only option. Aside from that sour note, she was increasingly combative in conversation and extremely rude when I was trying to understand a problem I had. She always had to have the last word and even if she insisted I was wrong, she made no recommendations on what I should do instead. She just wanted to make sure I knew I was wrong. The end. I would often leave the room, unsure on what the next steps were. If I asked about next steps, she talked down at me like a child. . She may know her "stuff", but her treatment of me was unacceptable. Good bye. read more

I had a terrible experience with Dr Yung. She was always at least 1 hour late for appointments. Maybe only 45 mins late if I had an 8:30am appointment. She never read my file before walking in the door of my exam. She unnecessarily ordered tests and when the results conflicted with prior tests leaving me scared, confused, and concerned she would blame her staff. I was pregnant during the height of the pandemic and got food poisoning. She ordered me to go to the ER where I was admitted into the hot bed of the covid wing. I was tested for 8 hours- she ordered constant tests and monitoring. She never followed up with me to see how I was feeling. She never informed me that I was still waiting for tests results before I could go outside. She then never informed me that I was covid negative- I had to call her office constantly. She never remembered that I didn't want to know the gender and almost told me multiple times. She was hyper critical and had terrible bedside manner about health and weight gain during my pregnancy. After the ER incident I decided I needed to seek other care and went out of state to stay with family and had an amazing experience at a different hospital. I will not be returning to Dr Yung for future pregnancies and I highly advise others to seek other care. read more

This was a traumatic experience. First, I waited an hour and 20 min to see the doctor and there was no apology or acknowledgement of this. She hounded me with questions about my medical history and interrupted me several times. Additionally, I have a lot of pain around that area, along with a lot of anxiety when it comes to pelvic exams. I shared this with Dr. Yung and she said she would be gentle and that she was just "feeling with her hands." Well, before I knew it, I felt excruciating pain--she shoved the speculum in without letting me know! I began to cry (visceral reaction) and got lightheaded. I had to ask her to stop and she basically made me feel like a child for being a virgin and kept saying "this amount of pain is normal." She was incredibly calloused and lacked any sort of compassion or empathy. I felt VIOLATED and brushed aside. I am furious and traumatized. read more

I wish I could give her zero stars. She is the worst OBGYN I have ever been to! She is very judgmental and has terrible bedside manner. Always really late and rushed appointments. Doesn't know how to deal with insurance claims and has wasted so much of my time. Do yourself a favor and go to literally anyone else, I'm so glad I switched to a midwife practice because I have no doubt in my mind Alice would have pressured me to do something I didn't want to do during the rest of my pregnancy and birth. read more
