“Dr. Yoo is fantastic. After going to seven (yes, SEVEN) different derms in the city, Dr. Yoo is the first to actually address my skin issues directly and provide straightforward and clear solutions. After dealing with cystic acne for years, Dr. Yoo is the first Dr. that has shown me a path to improvement. I’m finally seeing tangible results. Not only that, but she’s incredibly patient with all of my questions and concerns. Highly recommend.”
“I spent years with psoriasis and misdiagnosed multiple times. Dr. Yoo did a biopsy, figured it out, and now I can start with the correct treatment. Wait time was quick. Bedside manner was amazing. The best dermatologist I’ve been to.”
