Charles Yang, MD

Please stay away fron this doctor if u need serious medical care. my das was diagnosed with a fatal lung disease and yet he ignored the radiologists findings and dismissed my dads attempt to discuss its symptons. he did not explain the seriousness of the disease. he did not even refer my dad to a specialist. i keep thinking his apathy led to my dads passing away. A grief i hope no one will ever experience

Medi-​Cal changed my medical group to Family Choice and i was placed with Dr. Yang. The staff is very nice and compassionate, unlike the Dr. He took 0 vital signs, 0 medical history, and barely spoke to me. I needed a referral for a Gastro Dr. because i had gotten Pancreatitis and had a endoscopic ultrasound, but because of the insurance change i needed a referral to see the results of the procedure. When i saw Dr. Yang he told me he wouldn’t give me the referral because there was nothing wrong with me. I didn’t believe this and payed out of my pocket (over $ 120) to see the Gastro Dr who did the procedure. The Gastro Dr. told me the results read that i was born with Pancreas Divisum and require surgery to put a stent in my pancreas duct to prevent from getting a life threatening Pancreatitis again. To think that Dr. Charles Yang said i was fine and wasn’t giving me treatment is MALPRACTICE!!!

He has been my doctor since I was a kid. He has a calming demeanor about him. He always showed concern for my health when something was wrong. His office is quaint and clean!

I just saw this DR today and I’m 100% sure I will NEVER go back
Their staff was nice but at the end of the day you need a DR to be knowledgable and thorough when it comes to your health
He was neither
I am absolutely shocked at how he is even a DR…
It sucks being on Medi-​Cal because you don’t have many options on who you get to see
I rather die then go back there…
I only read the Unilocal comments AFTER my visit… not shocking that most people are dissatisfied with him…

My brothers and I used to see this doctor our whole childhood because he was referred by a family friend. Well, given he was our first doctor, we had no idea what to compare him to. After going to a few more doctors, I realized that he wasn’t good, didn’t care about his patients, shady and money hungry.
I remember this to this day one time when I went with my brothers for their yearly exam. I was worried about a pretty big, bumpy mole on my face and asked him if it should be checked out by a dermatologist and be something I should be worried about. We talked about that mole for 20 – 30 secs and then he continued on with my brother’s exam. At the end, he charged my mom for both my brothers’ exams AND my simple opinion question regarding the mole!!! What?!
He didn’t take my vitals, didn’t ask about my family history or what I’d been doing sun wise to cause that and there was no exam or skin swab. He decided given that little question that he should go ahead and charge an extra exam since he could make big bucks REAL fast. Nevertheless, he’s been one of the worst and shadiest doctors I’ve seen and the whole family hasn’t gone back in years now that we’re adults and know better. I’ve also told friends and other family members to avoid him unless you really want to be ripped off.

Dr. Yang has been my primary Doctor going on 4 years now and he’s GREAT! I read some of the other reviews and I was shocked because he and his staff have always been professional, attentive, knowledgeable, compassionate and very flexible when it comes to appointments. The location isn’t the best, but it’s what’s on the inside that counts. I’ve had a couple of issues with my insurance not wanting to cover certain tests in the past and his staff always has my best interest when dealing with those issues and that’s a big plus for me. Don’t mistake his efficiency for discord, he has always explained things thoroughly anytime I’ve asked and he truly cares about his patients. This is a trustworthy practice and I’ve referred multiple people who have all been very satisfied with their experience as well.

This is not a good doctor. My boyfriend goes to him because he doesn’t have insurance. He is inexpensive, but like with everything, you get what you pay for. He spends about 2 minutes max with his patients, and has the bedside manner of a hamster. Bf reports that every time he goes to the doc (which is an average of once a month), the doctor seems not to remember a single detail about his medical history.
On 2 occasions, bf and I have had to deal with this doctor and his office’s total unwillingness to be of any help at all. One day, we spent 6 hours waiting at a pharmacy in Grant’s Pass, Oregon while the doctor hemmed and hawed over whether to grant a replacement prescription for a lost medication. He’s mechanical at best, and at worst, he treats you like a potential criminal.

This is an excellent doctor. 5+ STAR doctor! I would highly recommend him to anyone! He is caring, kind and a good listener to his patients (me and my family of four) and I have had the great opportunity to be his patient for 23 years. He always fits me in the same day and I feel very confident and comfortable with him and his staff, who have also been there for many years. I just happened to stumble along this website and was very happy to see that I could write a review for his practice. EXCELLENT DOCTOR and EXCELLENT STAFF! Highly recommend. A+ A+ A+ From a grateful and happy patient! Toni !

I went to him when i was younger, just because my parents wanted a Doctor who spoke Chinese.
It was awful being seen by him and he doesn’t listen or seem care about me (as his patient).
my visits with him left me with nightmares.

I totally agree with the first review about Dr. Yang being nothing but a very general doctor. He doesn’t really listen to a patient’s concern and questions. Also, time seems to be so valuable to him (very business oriented) that he doesn’t care about quality treatment.
The main reason I chose him is because his office can schedule a next day appt for my blood test. During my visit, I told him about my condition and how did I feel. He did not really say anything or offer any suggestions to my ease my conditions. I have never ever met such a silent and cold doctor! Then he drew my blood, and that’s it. JUST 5 MINUTES FOR THE WHOLE VISIT! I also asked him about pap smear test, and he said he will do it the following week when I see him for my blood test result. But during the following visit he forgot, and when I asked him he told me to go to a OBGYN!!! He should have told me that before! He basically LIED and DIDN’T CARE!
Definitely the kind of general doc who just getting the very basic job done, and squeezing in as many patients as he can.

This doctor is great ! Don’t be fooled by the crappy strip mall his office is in. I swear his diagnosis of a certain medical condition may have saved my husband’s life.
He’s thorough and he listens.
He will also fit you in same day if he can.
He takes uninsured patients and all kinds of insurance. He doesn’t accept credit cards.

dr. yang is definitely a literal translation of general practitioner, with emphasis on general.
i’ve gone to him 3 times. the first time was to have him analyze a bloodtest i had already gotten done and ask him about a few health concerns. i told him the main reason i was going to see him was because i wanted a thorough physical (haven’t had one in… ever). he checked my heartrate, looked at my previous bloodtest and told me that i’d have to get another bloodtest done (the one i had gotten was not thorough enough) in order for him to give me more answers. okay, fine.
i come back to let him take my blood and return back a few days later and he says he thinks i’m fine. granted, i’m a bit on the paranoid side as i have a bad habit of self-​diagnosing. i ask him to refer me to a neurologist because i want an MRI done, and he does.
now i’m hesitant to use his referral and would rather just research my own neurologist to go to. i don’t even think what he did to me was a full physical, so i’m still on a quest to find a doctor to do that.
each visit was a 20 $ copay and none were more than 15 – 20 minutes. i understand that it’s just a general checkup, but i kept getting the feeling that he did not want to hear my concerns or explanations on why i had those concerns in the first place.
doctors, sigh.

Went to the guy twice. Both times, I left myself thinking to myself, «man, what a jerk.» My insurance makes me go to my primary doctor to get a referral before going to a specialist like in my case, I wanted to go see a dermatologist but Dr. Yang made me schedule another visit in order to get that referral and when I came back, he didn’t even do it. I feel like he speaks condescendingly to me every time I’m there.
The one thing great about this place is the wait time is minimal. I was in and out and wait time is minimal which can be pretty hard to find. If you like old grouchy doctors who are punctual, Dr. Yang is the doctor for you.

Dr. Yang is definitely one of a kind. He’s an old chinese man who speaks English really well.
He’s got all the funny bones in the world and is fairly punctual, which is probably one of best things that can ever happen at a doctor’s office – almost like a miracle.
He’s never perscribed me 10 medicine he knows I won’t need and always kept it at a minimal. He’s real good at answering questions if he doesn’t know something, he’ll let you know instead of BSing.
