Whitney Skaggs

Dr Yeh is an exceptional surgeon who provided outstanding care during my thyroid cancer surgery (partial thyroidectomy). His expertise, compassion and knowledge were invaluable. He took the time to explain my diagnosis and surgical procedure clearly and patiently, addressing my concerns. His calm and reassuring demeanor helped alleviate my anxiety and fear. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and compassionate specialist.

Dr. Yeh and his team took great care of me from our first office visit through surgery and post-op check-in. Wonderful bedside manner, competent but not arrogant, explained the procedure and its intended results and answered all of my questions. He is clearly well-respected by the residents training under him and sets the bar high. I am grateful to have been in such competent hands for my parathyroidectomy.

My experience with doctor Michael Yeh was excellent. I had surgery the end of October and went back to work few days later. I had no pain ,and the scar healed so well. Thank you Dr. Yeh and to all the staff who took care of me at UCLA.

Dr. Yeh and the members of the endocrinology department were knowledgeable and proactive in making sure I understood the parathyroid diagnosis and recommended treatment, also the risks. Dr. Yeh was kind, humble and confident. That was very reassuring when we met in his office. I immediately felt comfortable and safe with him and his team. He clearly communicated the procedure needed and recovery process. Dr. Yeh was a wonderful surgeon.

FYI, there were department videos on YouTube that were helpful as well.

The surgery went well. The anesthesiologist was top notch. The surgical team were caring and thorough throughout the entire process from my first call through post operative follow ups. Dr. Yeh checked on me after the procedure and was positive. Dr. Labora and her team visited me the next day before I was released from the hospital. There were no issues or complications. Nurse Practitioner Christine Siregar handled my post operative follow up via video conference. She was great. It was a good experience! The team gave outstanding patient care.

I highly recommend Dr. Yeh and his team!

Laparoscopic Adrenalectomy Review- Dr Yeh
I recently underwent a laparoscopic adrenalectomy, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome. From start to finish, the procedure was handled with professionalism, precision, and care, making it an overall positive experience. After 4 weeks my blood pressure is normal and I dropped all medication to control it. I am also sleeping so much better…
Thanks to Dr Yeh and his extended team as well as all nurses that too care of me at UCLA Ronald Reagan Hospital.

My name is Sandra Shirley and I had parathyroid surgery in July 2024 with Dr. Yeh. We travelled from our home in New Mexico and spent a month in Los Angeles in order to access the excellent health care facilities at UCLA. I selected Dr. Yeh after extensive online research and I am very pleased with the results.

During the entire process, Dr. Yeh and his team were thoughtful and responsive. Communication whether online or in person was prompt and thorough. The surgery went well and Dr. Yeh's team was very helpful through the recovery over the next few days.

I highly recommend Dr. Yeh and his team based on my experience.

My experience with Dr. Yeh and his team was excellent. During the initial consultation, Dr. Yeh and the fellow assisting him, provided me with a very clear explanation of what the recommended parathyroidectomy procedure involved and clearly described both the expected benefits and the risks. I asked several questions to which I received clear and concise responses. In the subsequent consultation via Zoom several days before surgery, Dr. Yeh again reviewed the what the procedure entailed, the risks and the recovery process. The procedure went smoothly and my recovery took just a few days. The post op follow up consultation, with nurse practitioner, Christine Siregar, was also a very positive experience. She was thorough in her inquiries regarding my recovery, was a good listener and fully addressed my questions.

In sum, I would highly recommend Dr. Yeh.

In June, I had parathyroid surgery with Dr. Yeh. I am a 65 yr old single woman on permanent disability. When I got an an explanation of benefits, I was told by my insurance that I would have NO copay for the hospital because I still kept and have my former employer benefits AND Medicare part A. After the surgery I started getting bills from the hospital for over $2200 that I didn't expect! I called my insurance and they told me that Medicare did NOT pay because of the way Dr. Yes billed the hospital stay. I was told that if I was there OVER 24 hours(WHICH I WAS) that Medicare would pay the $2200 balance! They told me to call Dr. Yeh and ask him to bill it correctly! I've called their office NUMEROUS times only to be told that someone world get back to me and NO ONE has ever contacted me or fixed the billing. Dr Yeh billed as just "overnight with observation" with "no hospital admission" which is a ridiculous way of reporting the stay because I stayed overnight, went under general anesthesia, had surgery, went into recovery, stayed overnight, and didn't leave until later in the afternoon the next day, so I HAD to be "admitted" AND was definitely there over 24 hours. I think this is a very sneaky and deceitful way of making points with Medicare and the government by skirting around the TRUTH thus saving the them money but screwing over his patients. This is DISGUSTING!! I earned the Medicare insurance with the taxes I've paid all my life and I still pay $400 a month premiums for my health benefits. Yet ILLEGAL immigrants can come here and get ALL their healthcare FREE while American citizens keep getting screwed!!! All this because Dr. Yeh refused to bill my stay in an honest manner!
