I would not recommend Dr. Yang if you exclusively breastfeed or if you have an uncircumcised son. At multiple appointments, Dr. Yang has said that baby fussiness might be caused by my diet and that I should "cut out foods" if he seems fussy. She also has questioned my milk supply even though my baby has been steadily growing and thriving. I was advised to "fully pump out" my milk to ensure my baby (who is 60th percentile weight and 90th percentile height) is "getting enough" which I later learned is not an accurate way to assess supply. Additionally, she retracted my baby's foreskin, which current pediatric guidelines recommend against, and she didn't ask before she did this. While Dr. Yang was friendly in her delivery, her advice didn't align with current evidence-based guidance on breastfeeding or intact care. I worry that parents who don't know otherwise could leave feeling anxious or make unnecessary changes. I ultimately decided to switch pediatricians to find someone more aligned with current recommendations and supportive of breastfeeding. read more

Dr. Yang was great. She and her staffs were patient and thorough. She listens to and addresses all of our parental concerns regarding to our kids sick and growth issues; both physical and mental health. We have been with Dr. Yang since our kids are infants and 12+ years now. We highly recommend her and her pediatric office. read more

Dr Yang is the best!! Our girls are 5 and 9, and we love her!! She is very patient with girls and with our questions. Our girls are very comfortable to communicate with her, because Dr Yang makes every check up FUN! We were so lucky to find Dr Yang, and having her as our pediatrician! read more

If you like a follow-the-book kind of doctor, she is perfect. If you are on the liberal side of certain subjects, such as vaccines, don't go to her. Also, I always feel like being rushed and she never had enough time for my kids before she rushed out for the next patient. I just realized that this review was left here 3 years ago. I actually stayed with her all these years. I later on realized that it was only the regular checkups that she goes through fast, which I think is fine. When on several occasions we went there for certain conditions, she took her time and was very patient answering our questions. When my daughter needed to have an eye surgery, she took much time helping us to schedule appointments with different physicians for second opinions (hard to get appointments). We are happy with her read more

Dr. Yang has been our family's pediatrician since my kids were born. She's a really sweet woman, but between her telling me that breastfeeding wasn't really working for my second son because my milk was "too low-fat", and the way she talks about the care of my older son's intact genitalia, I'm not so sure she's reading the manuals quite right. She's great if you're following the AAP guidelines to a tee, not so much if you find yourself on the liberal side of issues like circumcision, etc. I wish I trusted her more. Despite our differences of opinion, I do feel that she listens and seriously thinks about how to help your child and your family get through whatever it is. She's caring and has a great manner; both of my sons feel comfortable with her. The practice itself is great - the receptionist is always prepared, the advice nurses listen and give (what I perceive as) great advice. The wait is never long, and the waiting room is stocked with magazines and lots of toys. Its easy to get in on the same day for urgent issues, and if you can't get in the urgent care clinic is right across the street. read more

I too was rushed through our appt although we arrived early for it. Dr Yang discussed my question only after I insisted and the quality of practice is below average in my opinion. The nurse skipped one of routine vital sign check (I have to specified it to the doctor) and the physical exam of the infant is not nearly as through as I later received at other clinic. I decided to switch clinic immediately after our first visit. read more

I feel dr yang is professional , but I feel every time it's a bit rush . Sometimes I don't even finish my questions , but it seems her time is running out , she needs to rush to next one . ( maybe she has too many patients , or their time for each patient is not enough ) The other point I am not satisfied is the charge . My insurance is high deductible which means I need to pay every visit . But every visit is 200 dollars . I feel it's more pricy than other hospitals. read more

I DO have to agree what the other 3-star reviewer commented on Dr. Jenny Yang at Peninsula Pediatric Medical Group. She was initially my son first pediatrician but we switched it immediately after just few visits. Her office billing practice is HORRIBLE. I ended up getting a huge bill at the end. If it wasn't her rude and unprofessional billing department, I would probably give her a 3-star just like the other mom. We switched to ABC Pediatrics in the same building and it was a HUGE different and I am so happy to make the move. read more

Dr. Jenny Yang is probably one of the most compassionate, caring, and personable doctors out there. I saw her majority of my life. I have never felt rushed while being with her. She takes her time to truly see how I am doing and I felt that she actually cared about what I had to say. She worked closely with my whole family and helped me through every medical issue, big or small. I cannot recommend her enough. She is the kind of doctor who will take the time to build a relationship with you. There were many occasions when I needed to see her last minute and she squeezed me in the best she could and I still didn't feel rushed while being with her. The other people in the office she works in are also all amazing. The staff are all so friendly and willing to help. They all knew me by name and I was always greeted with a friendly hello. There were some times I saw other doctors at the office and I have nothing but great things to say about them too. I saw Dr. Hart-Cooper who is just as caring and compassionate as Dr. Yang. I cannot preach enough about how amazing Dr. Yang is and everyone at her office. I am so thankful she was my doctor. I would recommend her again and again to anybody who is wanting a friendly, caring, and compassionate doctor. read more

I love Dr.Yang at Peninsula Pediatrics. The front office and nurse staff are pretty great too (So many others, including Bay Area Pedriatrics, had unfriendly front office staff). She spends a lot of time with us and we hardly ever have to wait. We had an emergency with my son and she called me nearly every day the week he was in the hospital to check in on us - even after hours. Like 30 mins a call! She never shooed away any of my concerns or anxieties and always made sure I felt comfortable with her diagnoses. It is really rare to find a doctor so caring. I liked that Dr. Yang was not at all judgmental of me NOT breastfeeding. I didn't need a doctor telling me how to take care of my kids as long as they were happy and healthy. Also, I've been going to her for 3 yrs and never had any sort of billing issue. The charges for services are pretty clear. Dr. Yang is especially helpful in forewarning me when certain things/doctors weren't covered by insurance (like immunizations, etc.) Most doctors just give referrals and tests and don't care whether you have to pay on your end. Sometimes when she is in a hurry I can tell she is talking fast and getting to the point, but never did I feel that she didn't give me proper time to ask my questions and she would answer thoroughly and not rush me if I needed additional time. I highly recommend her and am so glad we found a pediatrician that has suited our family so well. I would say that not every doctor in her office is as awesome, so if I need a backup doctor, I prefer Dr. Showen, not Dr. Wang. read more

My younger daughter and I had her first visit (general checkup) with Dr. Yang last week and the experience is the best. We switched to Dr. Yang due to insurance change. Dr. Yang is definitely one of the best pediatricians I've ever met during the past 18 years with my two daughters. She is experienced, warm, kind, thorough and trustworthy. To a 13 yr old adolescent, she not only cared about her physical well beings but also very experienced with and care about her emotional and social needs. Both my daughter and I had a great experience at the clinic and we both like her so much. I'm not sure why there are earlier reviewers who mentioned that she's a bit rush! At a matter of fact, she's the doctor I feel that who gives us the longest time and most personal care that I haven't experienced for a long time!!! Everybody else at the office, including the front desk lady and all the nurses are also so nice, welcoming and helpful. Thank you all! I recommend Dr. Yang to anyone in the area who's looking for a new pediatrician. read more

I have seen Dr. Yang since 2003, and even took a prenatal class that she taught. She is very warm, easy to talk to, and seems to genuinely care about her patients. I've never been made to feel either too worryisome or too casual about my childrens health. If I hestiate on another round of anti-biotics, she is fine with waiting. She is very reasonable and does not get offended if I disagree or opt to not take her advice. She refered my youngest to a pedi opthamogolist at 4 months and sure enough she needed glasses and surgery. Both my girls are comfortable with her, and now that my oldest is almost 7, Dr. Yang really takes her seriously and asks her opinion, how she feels, etc. I feel that is important for a young girl to have a Doc they can trust and talk too. Overall, I am very pleased with the practice. The office staff is polite and helpful and the other docs I have seen have all been wonderful. read more

I haven't seen Dr. Yang for years since I aged out, and I miss her honestly. She was always super friendly and informative and I truly felt I could talk to her about anything. Her nurses were great as well, and were always comforting and reassuring whenever I needed to get shots (which was terrifying to me as a kid lol) so I always felt comfortable with going to see her. Whenever I needed to see her or another one of her doctors, I usually was able to get in within an hour of calling which was great too. I miss you Dr. Yang! read more

I agree with the other mother who said she is perfect for some but if you are on the liberal side and hope your children will talk to you openly about things like birth control I do not recommend her. She was judgmental and opinionated beyond what I consider professional on my last couple of visits and I am now moving to another pediatrician. She certainly means well, and the office staff have been wonderful over the past 16 years I have taken my children there. read more

Dr. Yang is great. I have 3 kids and all have been with her. She is patient, has good bedside manner, and always explains things in a way that are easy to understand but not judgmental. They do a reasonable job of keeping on schedule-- which is amazing since I have personally been in one of those situations where I've taken my kid in for something that should be quick (they probably scheduled 15 minutes for it) but it ended up taking closer to an hour. The nursing staff is also very courteous. I've never had a billing problem. My kids of asthma and I've brought up concerns about overmedication with steroids; she's always been very understanding and explains the research, the pros and cons, and alternative treatment options. I would highly recommend her. read more

Dr. Jenny Yang has been an outstanding pediatrician for our family for nearly a decade. If it weren't for her diligence our youngest daughter would not have been diagnosed with hydronephrosis and she would have eventually lost a kidney. She always took the word of the kid seriously even when the parent didn't. She also diagnosed by oldest daughter with anorexia. Both these cases, I wouldn't have caught. She is a by-the-book doctor, but that is what I want in my doctor. I can be the liberal don't worry so much parent, but someone has to watch out for the child's health. read more

I love Dr. Yang! She definitely cares about all her patients. She's easy to talk to and very knowledgeable. I'm so glad to have found her!
