I have recommended Dr. Yoon and MEE to friends, family and clients. My experience with Dr, Yoon and earlier with Dr. [redacted] has been perfect as has the staff in both offices. I had such a comfort level that I entered both surgeries without any concerns or reservations. I knew, without a doubt, that I was with the best.
I was very happy with the care I received. Dr Yoon, the medical students and nurses, the doctor who did the anesthetic injection were all kind and informative.
