“Worst doctor ever!!!!”

Dr. Melissa Yadao is by far the most unprofessional doctor I've had the displeasure of seeing. I hurt my knee and was referred to her by my primary doctor. She didn’t even exam my leg and sent me for a x-ray on my back; there was nothing wrong with my back. Dr. Yado has a horrendous bed side manner, she is rude and uncaring. After spending over 45 minutes waiting to see her, she spent less than 5 minutes with me. I asked my primary doctor for another referral to a different doctor.

“I will not see any other doctor....”

I will not see any other doctor. My primary doctor referred me to Dr. Yadao in 2019 for my right knee. Since then, my daughter has been a patient, as well as me.

I sincerely wish excellent was a choice Dr. Yadao has been my doctor/surgeon since 2023. I have never received anything but EXCELLENT care. She is extremely skilled, personable, listens carefully and goes over all options (benefits/risks) in a conversation. She has always involved me in my care plans I would recommend her to anyone with no reservations.

“worst bedside manner”

Dr. Melissa Yadao is by far the most unprofessional doctor I've had the displeasure of seeing. Injured severely in an accident, waited no less than 35min for each of my 10+ appointments. horrendous bed side manner, rude, uncaring. 10 day wait for her to fill out forms and paperwork. once forms are complete they are sloppy and halfway filled out. never under any circumstances would i recommend her to friends or family. reader beware.Original review on DoctorsDig.com
