Qingping Yao's Online Review Report Card

Doctor is great... I went to several doctors to try to figure out what was wrong and he was the only one who was able to get me on a medication plan that actually worked. His office on the other hand is filled with some of the rudest most inconsiderate people I have ever dealt with. I needed paper work filled out and was stuck trying to get a response as to whether he would do it. Office couldn't be bothered returning a phone call and I ended up missing the deadline for the paperwork. I've never been so angry and disgusted by the treatment I've received. I will be spending the next few days trying to determine who I need to complain to be it state boards or stony brook hospital.

Dr. Yao was ok, his staff are literally THE RUDEST most inconsiderate people I've ever dealt with. They can't be bothered to return phone calls or answer simple questions. Needed fmla paperwork filled out and missed the deadline as a result. Will be researching filing a complaint with the state or stony brook hospital.

Dr. Yao is a wonderful rhemtologist. He's very informative, kind and listens to what his patients say.

I waited for over an hour in the waiting room to see him, and when I finally did, all he did was brag about his research and how patients fly in from other countries to see him. He kept saying “google me!” which I should have done - now I see why he has 2 stars. He did not let me speak or list my symptoms. He cut me off every two seconds, then said I have carpal tunnel (I have no wrist pain!) He doesn’t type notes into the computer, he speaks them into a recorder - I told him every morning I wake up and am in pain for the first hour, and he says into his recorder “patient claims she has pain some mornings for 15 minutes”. Not even close to what I said.. I was sent for blood work, and he still won’t call me back with the results. I am going to see a different rheumatologist now, and hopefully figure out why I have all-over body pain, which I’m pretty sure isn’t carpal tunnel. Awful doctor, I wouldn’t recommend. Very full of himself.

I've seen several rheumatologists in the area and none of the experiences compared with the one I've experienced with Dr. Yao. He is very friendly and most importantly he cares about his patients! He was very thorough with the examination and answered all the questions I had. I highly recommend Dr. Yao.

Didn't bother to review all the symptoms, nor did he even look at the scans that were brought. Didn't look at the whole person and wanted to brag himself up of writing his published articles and his research . This was not reassuring and said most Dr's wouod give you a different diagnoses

Dr Yao is by far the best doctor I have ever gone to see. I am 35 with an odd traveling arthritis like disease. We are still in the process of diagnosing my ailment, but his follow up and time spent with me is just unmatched. That's what you get when you go to a top ranked hospital. After 6 different doctors treating me like just another idiot, I found Dr Yao who immediately ruled out other misdiagnosed scary diseases. I live 4 hours away, but have moved all of my care to the Cleveland Clinic. You will not be sorry if you do the same.

Dr. Yao is not a doctor that I feel the most comfortable with. He comes up with something and he changes his mind before the visit is over. He does not seem sure of his diagnosis or plan of treatment.
