2 Responses to "Dr. Yee / General"
Dr. Yee is the most thorough and brilliant diagnostician I have ever encountered. I came to her through a referral from a colleague who had been to a series of specialists over 8 months who could not diagnose her problem and ultimately told her it was undiagnosable. However, she had lost weight dramatically was fatigued and had begun to drop things as she carried them, among other symptoms. Dr. Yee reviewed all previous tests and doctors’ reports and with new tests and research quickly diagnosed and treated the problem which was related to B12 deficiency. I had recently been diagnosed with Parkinson’s and my colleague insisted I see Dr. Yee. Dr. Yee again reviewed information from endless specialists, conducted new research, and has served as my coordinating physician to help me navigate working with over 12 doctors, from acupuncturists to neurologists. She also conducted new tests that have suggested a potential alternate diagnosis. She is now working to confirm or dismiss that possibility. I cannot stress how important it is to have a doctor coordinate specialists and carefully eliminate alternate possibilities. In four years of this medical issue, no other doctor has ever spent such time and careful consideration of every angle. It is critical to have a correct diagnosis, especially when serious drugs are being recommended. I am receiving the most competent, thorough and informed care possible.

Dr. Yee is a great listener and has a vast range of knowledge about both traditional and alternative treatments. After listening to me describe my pain and inflammation symptoms (and parts of my life) for almost an hour, Dr. Yee decided I should get re-tested for Lyme disease even though I’d already tested negative for Lyme several times. Because she has been to some of the most up-to-date conferences on Lyme disease, Dr. Yee knew that there is one lab that is considered the most accurate Lyme-testing lab in the country, and, sure enough, my test from that lab came back positive. I’m still in the middle of being treated for Lyme disease, but I’m feeling much better than I was a few months ago. I would definitely recommend Dr. Yee for anyone who suspects they might have Lyme disease and has had a difficult time finding an accurate diagnosis or effective treatment plan, as well as anyone who is experiencing unexplained aches and pains.
