Dr. Moo Young was one of the kindest, most compassionate and understanding Physicians I have ever visited. I've had at least 12 different specialists taking care of me over the years. And She and my primary [...] are the greatest doctors any patient should be thankful and feel so fortunate to have supporting their care. Dr. Moo Young and I sat together and just talked about the concerns and progressing health issues I am facing. She really looked and cared about ME, not just as a patient, but because she saw the stresses and fear I felt because of declining health. I left her office with a completely different and hopeful outlook about everything. We spent 3X's the time my appointment was scheduled by just talking and sharing- she knew I was in physical and emotional pain!

The staff were professional and informative. The Doctor is outstanding, one of the most competent I've had period. Dr. Moo-Young displays a combination of knowledge, compassion, and factual information that she will willingly impart without condescension. I have recommended her often over the years.

Dr. Moo-Young was wonderful. She has a great bedside manner. She explained everything clearly and even presented the information in a graph and picture. She had a gently touch during my biopsy. Additionally, her nurse and a medical student were very attentive and helpful.

Dr. Tricia Moo-Young and her staff are exceptional. They showed care and compassion to me a new patient at my visit last Monday. I was pleasantly surprised that she was able to do the needle biopsy that same first visit. She spent 20 minutes or more explaining my condition and options and drawing them on a sheet of paper which I took with me to show my family. She then did the needle biopsy of a lump in my thyroid.
