    It was my first meeting with Dr. Robin Yang but the consultation went well. My companion and I left feeling informed, with a good understanding of what to expect leading up to the major surgery and what the procedure may look like based on a diagnosis.

    Knowledgeable, skillful, and have to understand his unique personality. He Is not not Interested, he just has a calm personality, patient shouldn't feel uncomfortable, patient need to communicate and ask questions and develop a relationship with a surgeon they trusted to have surgery wtih.
