He is very thorough and does a amazing job
Very concise review of my eye procedures and provided recommendations until next eye examine.
Excellent visit! He explained everything in a great manner and even I understood it!!
Quick and personable service
The doctor is very friendly and possesses a wonderful personality. He is easy to approach, and I consistently feel that he clearly explains my eye condition.
Very thoughtful and thorough.
Dr. Yap was great! He’s extremely nice and explains things incredibly clear. He was able to figure out why I was losing my vision and my eyes were in so much pain! He even waited for me to get there, even though they were closing, just so I didn’t struggle through the weekend!
Good visit & great diagnosis!! Thanks to Dr Scot Yap
Dr Yap was great, though there were a lot of miscommunications with the receptionists regarding what I needed done and which doctor could do it. As it turns out my visit was a waste of time and money, but my time with Dr Yap was informative, and he seemed knowledgeable and capable.
He always takes time to answer questions & explain results. I never feel rushed. He is polite & professional.
