I'm not sure if it's because UCLA Medical Group is just that much better or what, but since my husband and I were forced to change from UCLA (employer changed our insurance), we are definitely not happy with the service we've received from Dr. Yang and his staff. Customer service in the office is hit or miss, at best and borders on consistently poor. When calling the office, they often don't even ask if they can put you on hold, they just do it and leave you waiting at their mercy. Both my husband and I have experienced less than helpful attitudes from most of the staff from the people answering the phones, to the woman who does the referral requests, to the medical assistants who assist the doctors. Even when we're with Dr. Yang, he seems so busy that he barely has time to listen or spend time in the room with us. It's difficult to get a call back from him or his staff. We have worked with the office manager to try to get better service but it hasn't worked despite her best efforts. Most recently, Dr. Yang put my husband on meds that had adverse reactions and then was out of town for two weeks and didn't leave any follow-up with the other doctor in the office. This left us in a very scary position. We also found out he is apparently in the office part-time, which explains why it's so difficult to get follow-through from him with test results or a callback. Needless to say, he's no longer our doctor and we wouldn't suggest him to anyone we care about. read more

Dr. Yang has been my doctor since 1994. He is very well-educated, knows what he's doing, and gets straight to the point. He almost always has a resident with him, so I call him "2 for one" since I usually get to see two doctors. He always encourages me, tells me not to worry, and is conscientious about my medical needs. He's nice enough to try to use humor to lighten a situation. He IS good. So his practice IS a busy one. It is true, sometimes it is difficult to get a hold of someone in his office on the phone. The last time I called to make an appointment, during the day, the machine took a message and I didn't hear back for hours. They must have been really busy. His staff are lovely, very well-informed, and hard-working. Some of have been with him since I have been seeing him, for 18 years. So, he must be wonderful to work for. When I leave a message for the doctor he ALWAYS calls me back at the end of the workday, after he's through seeing patients. And if something happens when the office is closed, it is best to go to urgent care as the doctors on call are not authorized to make ANY decisions, like okaying a medicine. But, you can talk to them, and get their opinion, if that is all you need. H read more

The most compassionate Dr. you will ever meet! I have been seeing Dr. Yang for some time now and he's always gracious, kind and well informed, as a medical professional should be. Always, responds to my needs in a timely manner and I also love that fact that I am able to reach him or his staff via email, whenever needed. I never have any trouble having my routine medications filled and the front office staff is just great. They all know me by name. I recently moved out of State and have yet to find a Dr. comparable to this man. )= If you are able to get into see him, I highly recommend this Dr. read more

Five stars to Dr.Yang. I am happy the is my primary doctor. He takes his time and helps me get to the best my body can go. Only negative is that he is always busy and appointments might be a little later than I would like. read more

The most caring, compassionate doctor I've ever had. In the 10 years I've been his patient he has regularly checked in on me (even when I don't visit the office), and unlike many doctors he does not hand out prescriptions like candy. He actually cares about the problem, not just disgusting the symptoms. read more

He is the best... ever since I start seeing him it is like talking to family. Great bedside manner with the firm conclusions to your problems, in other words he won't BS you and get it to your straight. read more

We've been mega lucky to be in Dr. Yang's excellent care for over a decade! He is phenomenal doctor--knowledgable, patient, caring, and responsive. He excels at solving and explaining medical issues and he is not an alarmist. He spends considerable time with his patients during their check ups, never failing to answer a question, no matter how significant it is. Now that he's deservedly Cedar's Chief of Staff, I'm not sure if he's taking on new patients, but you are certainly lucky if you are one of them. I cannot say enough good things about Dr Yang! read more

Dr. Yang is by far THE BEST primary care physician I've ever met. He spent nearly a WHOLE HOUR with my husband on his first visit. But - the best part is - his office staff is well-trained, attentive, professional and very pleasant. Lisa - who worked with us for two weeks to get the prior medical records - was very thorough and committed to getting the records - despite the staff at our previous doc's office being totally incompetent and seemingly unable to send or receive a fax. Lisa stayed on them - called us with updates and got the records before our visit. My husband has a complicated nerve issue with his neck. Dr. Yang listened, explained and was truly compassionate. Five stars for this caring, brilliant physician and his topnotch staff. UPDATE: My husband has been battling a very painful - nerve condition - and because all procedures had failed - he was told that this condition had no cure - even though they just weren't quite sure exactly what it was. It was named "nummular headaches" and/or "occipital neuralgia." What's in a name? Twelve years and many specialists and surgeons and barbaric procedures later...today...we finally have an answer because Dr. Yang FINALLY listened - did a simple palpation of his jaw and diagnosed him with TMJ. Of course, this is not a cake-walk diagnosis - he will see an oral surgeon - be fitted for a mouth piece to help correct his jaw misalignment. But - finally...a road to relief from his head aches, neck pain, ear pain, back and knee pain - all related to this "misalignment disorder." The years of pain have ALL been caused by this problem - and everyone missed the cause - except Dr. Yang. My friends - THIS is what happens when your doctor actively involves YOU in YOUR care and listens to YOUR STORY and then applies his vast knowledge to put the puzzle pieces together. Thank you, Dr. Yang! You are a very good person and an excellent physician. read more

My primary care doctor for over 15 years, and he's my 93-year-old father's primary care doctor as well! Takes good care of our family.

Dr. Yang is awesome. That sums it up but I will explain further - He is very sweet. Never makes me feel like he's trying to rush me out so he can get to the next patient. He takes his time to run proper tests and really figure out what might be wrong and how to fix it without trying to sell anything. He is so smart....so so smart. When I used the CS Link messaging, he messaged me back very quickly so I felt like I had access to my own personal doctor at anytime. I wish he could be the only doctor I ever have to go to - for anything. I trust him. read more

Great Doctor!!! been seeing him for a few years now. patient and caring. The only downside to be aware of.. if you are sent for a procedue of any kind at Cedar SInai.. be careful from numerous different charges that nobody cares to tell you about ahead of time.. Can add up to thousands... read more

I couldn't agree more! I have been going to Dr. Yang for nearly 6 years and he is quite honestly the hardest working person I know. I often tell him to take more time off but he is so dedicated to his patients he works all the time. If you need a good Dr. _ He is the Best! read more

Still seeing Dr. Yang and I still can't recommend him highly enough. After not having been there for years, they still got me in the next day and I'm healthy now! While I try to avoid going to the dr as much as I can, I was really happy to see Dr. Yang and I'm healthier for it! read more

Dr.Yang and his sraff are so great, they always answer the phones with nice and pleasant attitudes. Dr. Yang was able to help me with an issue that never thought I had. He stayed on me like a father figure and I was able to be diagnosed and treated. Words cannot express my gratitude to this man, he is wonderful patient, compassionate and very caring physician. I highly reccomend Dr.Yang, yes he does have a limited schedule (who doesn't), but when is in the office he takes his time with you and answers any and all questions regardless of how busy his schedule may be. The nurses that he works with are very kind and knowledgable about assisting with any medical needs. The receptionists' in the office are always friendly and professional and always returns my calls. The person who does the referrals is very professional and if I don't leave the office with my referral,I am phoned by her with the information and I also receive a copy in the mail. Even the check-in person always has a smile on her face and is very attentive to your needs while waiting to see the doctor. Dr. Yang is one of the best physicians at Cedars Sinai Medical Group. read more

Great doctor, highly recommended. I have been going to Dr Yang for over 4 years. He has is very smart and always gives great advice. Very down to earth and shows a genuine concern for his patients. I cannot imagine seeing another doctor after being having him as my PCP. read more

Dr. Yang is one of the best doctors around! He actually listens to you and is great about following up calls or concerns that you may have. He's been a doctor of mine for years and I've always been thoroughly satisfied by the care that he provides! I wish all doctors were like this! read more

Dr. Yang has been my primary physician for 13+ years. He is professional and warm, and his staff is always great.

Dr. Yang is a great doctor. He takes care of patients in a very professional way. He listens to what you have to say. Returns calls in a reasonable amount of time. He provides the best possible care for each patient. I have been going to him for several years now. He has always tried to squeeze me in when I have been in so much pain that it couldn't wait. When he is treating you, you get the feeling that you are his most important patient. I would highly recommend him. read more

Best Doctor anyone could hope for. Dr. Yang has been my PCP for over 10 years now. He listens, doesn't condescend, cares about you as a patient, takes the time you need to get your questions answered. In short, the best example of a primary care physician I've ever encountered. Really good guy. read more

Dr Yang is amazing! The facility is pleasant and his staff is always a joyful to be around. I've been with Dr Yang for 3 years now since I moved to LA and have not considered finding a new doctor at any point. I have never waited more than 10 minutes to see him for an appointment, and he never rushes over any detail. Getting in when sick can be a little tricky, but other than that I have no issues and still am giving him a 5! read more

Dr Yang has been my primary care doctor since 1995, almost 15 yrs, he has done what he can for me in any medical problem, my diagnosis with Diabetes Type II, bouts with cellulitus, and weight control. He has given me great advice, and encouragement as well as excellent care. As with any physician in a managed care environment, he has many patients to see, so I understand why he can't sit there for an hour talking to me. But, he takes the time he needs, listens to me and makes every effort to answer my questions or offer sound medical advice or treatments. I think he's great, I'm actually reluctant to refer anyone to him because I don't want to share! read more

Dr Yang has all but abandoned his private practice for administrative duties. He never mentioned anything at my last appointment, and then his office sent a letter two weeks later saying "see ya" after almost 20 years of being his patient. Poorly handled and because of it I have left the Cedars Sinai network. read more

He is the best. He is so helpful and as gives you all his time and energy. He really understands every concern and unlike most doctors, he does not rush you or make you feel stupid. He is a great doctor and I would suggest him to anyone who is looking for a patient, excellent, well educated doctor. read more

I recently switched my primary physician to Dr. Yang and I am glad I did. He seemed very knowledgeable and he was very attentive. I had a problem with my knees and he was very caring about what treatment I should have. I expected he would have recommended for the knees to be drained, but he informed me that he would rather treat it first with anti inflammatory medicine. Needless to say, the knees got better a few weeks later. But it is the time that he takes to explain the procedures that I really appreciate. He also very friendly. read more

ditto from me. i've been a patient of dr. clement yang for approximately 10 years.

Dr. Yang has been our Family Doctor for 20+ Years! He is Brilliant! He is the most THOUGHTFUL, CARING person I have ever met. He takes his time to run proper tests and really figure out what might be wrong and how to fix it without trying to sell anything. He is so smart, but explains things so the common person can understand. As busy as his, will take as much time you need to feel comfortable. His staff and assistants are GREAT too! Can't say enough good things about LISA. read more

Dr. Yang is an amazing primary care physician. He is thorough, intuitive, and sensitive.

Dr. Yang has been my Primary Care Physician for over 12 years, now. I've had many of the normal health issues a man in his 30's-40's would have and maybe a few more. Dr. Yang seems to always spend the right amount of time (needed) with me. Both he and his staff always manage to be upbeat and communicate clearly with me about everything I need to know. I would recommend Dr. Yang to anybody in need of an Intenal Medicine Primary Care Physician, read more

I love Dr. Yang!!! HE ROCKS!! I've been going to him for 20 years. The best doctor in the world!! I would highly recommend him to anybody.
