Providence PatientI can't say enough good things about Dr. Yun. He's excellent in every sense of the word. The surgery went so well that I never had much pain afterwards. Just Tylenol and anti inflammatory medicine. My pain level was zero to one. It's been two months and my scar is almost healed. He's a brilliant, compassionate and a great communicator. I've already recommended him to 8 people. The nurses at Providence were also excellent and surprisingly the food was delicious. EVERYTHING WAS EXCELLENT!!
Providence PatientEveryone was very professional and courteous.
Providence PatientMy visit was my first time to see Dr Yun. I need total knee replacement and had seen another provider but after researching Dr Yun I decided to see him for a 2nd opinion before booking surgery. The consultation exceeded my expectations and I left feeling very confident in the procedure and in Dr Yun and his team. The amount of information provided to me was exceptional. I would 100% recommend him to friends and family
Providence PatientKnowledgeable doctor, felt I was taken care well. The surgeon gave me the confidence to proceed with the surgery! The entire team takes good care of the patient! I will recommend this surgeon to anyone with knee problems!

Providence PatientVisit was smooth and satisfying.
Providence PatientThere was a bit of wait time before each team came in to do the next step. Dr. Yun is great, though he spends very little time with patients.
Providence PatientIt's like Dr Yun said - "No one wants to have knee replacement surgery." I've avoided it for many years. But it's now time and everyone on Dr. Yun's team was respectful, knowledgeable, efficient, and kind. I've found that's a rare combination in healthcare these days. I'm hopeful for an excellent surgical outcome.

Providence PatientThe entire staff - from front desk to physician assistants, to scheduling, etc. - was not only pleasant but also so thorough that I felt by the time I saw Dr. Yun, he was fully up to speed on my situation. I was also impressed that he took the time to return later to respond to a question I'd forgotten to ask. I remember telling him that I believe a patient's psychological state is as important as their physical when it comes to a healing and a successful outcome to treatment and that he made me feel confident I was in good hands with him and his team.
Providence PatientEverything from reception, PA, x-rays, and doctor visit was excellent. Everyone was very nice and friendly.

Providence PatientDr. Yun and his team have replaced both of my hips in the last 8 years without complication. I saw him to evaluate my need for a knee replacement and to provide an overview of the procedure and recovery. Dr Yun and his PA did a thorough job in painting a word picture re what I should expect should I have the procedure.

Providence PatientGreat visit! Wish there was a way to directly reach office staff for follow up questions by phone.
Providence PatientI think the person at the front desk wasnt sure why I was there. Initially he gave me the wrong paperwork. The other person gave me the correct one. I am not sure my file was put in the pile because I waited over an hour while a lot of people who came in long after me went in first. It confused me. In the end I got seen and had a nice visit with the dr and his assistants
