Personally, I agree with Natalie in her 1-star review for the same reasons and then some…read more Initially, when I first saw Dr. Yang, I was impressed. She seemed nice enough and prescribed a liquid med that worked incredibly fast before a scheduled endoscopy. Then, years later, I was struck by how narrow and judgmental she really is. Once that woman forms a mindset - and she assumes an awful lot with very little information - there's no turning back. Dr. Yang is quick to assume, quick to judge, quick to label and brand patients instead of asking relevant questions, thinks she knows exactly what people are thinking and feeling - often when she's way off and entirely out of line. Frankly, I think she's arrogant and rude. Also, as Natalie seemed to say, she runs her test and then . . . . good luck. You're on your own. She may also have the unmitigated audacity - with virtually no conversation - to tell someone straight out they have some sort of emotional issue that caused the problem, EVEN if there's a long history of "gastro" problems on both sides of a patient's family, regardless of personality and lifestyle. You may sit there calmly, in shock, wondering "Where did that come from?" No, she doesn't explain herself. I regret that I didn't ask her to give examples - to explain herself! In short - I think this physician is arrogant, narrow-minded, judgmental, and rude . . . . not to mention a know-it-all who can do no wrong. I guess she's fine if all you need is a routine endoscopy and you aren't experiencing any problems. Thank you for nothing, Dr. Yang, and "no thank you" for your unfounded assumptions/insults. She's one of the last physicians I'd ever want to see - especially NOT for something sensitive or embarrassing.

Dr Vicky Yang sent me a letter to ask me to get some routine exam. I thought it's the time for…read moreColonoscopy. So I called her office. The front desk told me Dr Yang's assistant Julie would call me to make an appointment with me. Julie called and told me the exam was not for colonoscopy. It's for gastroscope(EGD). She explained to me what's EGD. I was surprised since I got no issues with my stomach. She convinced me that I did need a EGD. So I scheduled an appointment with her. That's it. Later Dr Yang billed me for making an appointment with her assistant as an office visit to herself face to face for $312.89. I was shocked! If because of COVID, this phone call with Julie = an office visit to Dr Yang, how come Dr Yang's office didn't tell me in advance?

I agree completely with the other one star ratings. Riker's office also wasted two weeks of my…read moretime. I was able to speak to a medical professional exactly once during this nightmare. On Friday M. was very sympathetic and said Riker would review my records on Tuesday. I had heard nothing and called Menlo Clinic rheumatology on Thursday. The person on the phone would not put me through to M., but did have the courtesy to review my record. He said a letter had been sent to my referring dermatologist saying Riker's practice was closed. This isn't true. She accepts the patients she wants and lets the rest of us sit in limbo until the referring doctor tells us we didn't make the cut. Doesn't even have the courtesy to have one of her staff call the patient directly. I'm filing complaints with every agency I can think of.

This review is for the office of Dr. Riker. As they have…read moremade a mess of the referral process, which delayed my medical care and completely wasted WEEKS of my time. THEY WASTED WEEKS OF MY TIME JUST TO TELL ME THEY WON'T ACCEPT NEW PATIENTS WHEN THEY INITIALLY SAID THEY WOULD! They couldn't even have the decency to APOLOGIZE. Basically, it started badly as they have the wrong fax number available to providers (they no longer use it) --which they should update their system--. I had called them several times throughout the process trying to solve this. During the whole process, they told me MISLEADING and CONTRADICTORY information about the referral process. One lady told me it would take 1 week, then another lady said it should take 3 more days as I had already waited, then another lady told me that they couldn't even give me a timeframe for the processing. I, unfortunately, didn't get everybody's name but 2 people in contact were 'Yvette' and 'Tammy'. In the end, they call me WEEKS later to tell me they WON'T be accepting new patients!! Not just with Dr. Riker but with all the other rheumatologists at the clinic. WHY WOULDN'T THEY TELL ME THIS DURING THE SEVERAL TIMES I CALLED THEM?! They knew which doctor I was referred to and they told me they were accepting new patients!! The last time I called them was 1 business day before they told me they were no longer accepting patients. Their incompetence led me to not be able to get an appointment. Not only they misled me throughout the process, but now they have delayed the medical care that I desperately need! Their system is an inefficient mess, and their staff is badly trained. This is unfortunate as Dr. Riker came in highly recommended to me. But sick people shouldn't have to go through this mess just to TRY to get an appointment. It's unacceptable! Now while suffering for weeks, I'm struggling to try to find a new rheumatologist. I'm sick and I didn't have the energy to complain to them on the phone because they would just treat me with apathy (like they did before when I'd call). They don't care, but I'm writing so other patients don't go through this.

I would not recommend this doctor to young or early 30s adults looking to establish long-term…read moreprimary care. I was excited to take charge of my healthcare and find a PCP who would be invested in my health at this stage of my life. Unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. The doctor had little to no bedside manner. After our first appointment, I assumed she might have been having a difficult day, but the same pattern continued at nearly every visit. Appointments were typically very brief--often only 3-4 minutes. I was usually greeted without a smile, received short answers to my questions, and rarely got explanations about my care or treatment options. Visits often ended abruptly with, "We're all done here." I also felt that my interest in preventive healthcare was dismissed rather than encouraged. It seemed as though concerns were only taken seriously if they were severe or urgent, rather than focusing on maintaining long-term health and wellness. I understand that primary care physicians have demanding schedules and many patients to see each day. However, healthcare is a service that patients pay for and rely on. Patients deserve to feel heard, respected, and involved in decisions about their care. In my experience, there was very little effort to provide a positive patient experience or build a doctor-patient relationship. Overall, I found the interactions unfriendly, uncomfortable, impersonal, and unprofessional. She seems checked out. I know this doctor has many positive reviews, but it appears that much of her patient base may consist of older adults or patients with more serious medical conditions. Based on my experience, I would not recommend her to younger adults seeking a primary care physician for long-term, preventive-focused care.

You know, because you can have about the same cholesterol levels for 10+ years, and then have it nearly double in 3 months, and that's just age. She repeated this several times throughout the appointment and showed no curiosity at all as to whether something other than age might have caused it. She appears to be checked out of this job.
