Richard F Yee, MD

Dr. Richard Yee was a fantastic doctor. I went to him for years. However, I believe he has now retired, and the practice has been taken over by a relative, Dr. Steven Yee.

First, the location is not in Nob Hill. It’s in Chinatown. Second, the place is DEAD. No single patient when I was there, no nurse, no front desk personnel, and the only doctor in the office wasn’t even Dr. Richard Yee. Third, the office phone does not accept voice mail. As a matter of fact, the Dr. called me back from caller ID for appointment.
I was only there for an annual exam. Dr. Steven Yee (claimed to be a distant relative of Dr. Richard Yee) took my blood sample in his office instead of sending me to a lab (red flag!!). The 2^nd visit back for result, he told me the blood wasn’t enough for cholesterol test and I had to do it again. (red flag no. 2)
A couple weeks later, I got a bill demanding for additional co-​insurance. Checked with my insurance company, it was for 2 blood tests. I called the office back asking to waive the 2^nd exam fee since it was their fault not getting enough blood sample. Dr. Steven Yee started YELLING AT ME on the phone saying that I’m wasting his time on a minimal fee! WTF?! Didn’t he get this?! Money isn’t the issue here! When I told him he’d receive a full payment as well as a complaint letter from me and then I hung up. He called right back agreeing to waive the 2^nd exam fee but refusing to put it in paper.
BE AWARE of this place! You’ll never see Dr. Richard Yee. I came to this office simply because I was too busy traveling and he was the only one can give me an appointment on the date I am in town. I’d give this place negative stars if I could!
