Dr. Yiu, with no exaggeration, is the best doctor I've had in my [age] years. Beyond his professional expertise which is beyond question, he has a genuine care for his patients, the whole patient. His "bedside" manner is an almost non-existing trait in today's medical industry. It is comforting and assures me I'm in the right place.
