Alice Yun, MD

I love Dr. Yun she delivered both of my two children. When I was pregnant with my first child the pregnancy and delivery went pretty smoothly. However when I was pregnant with my second child my iron became dangerously low. Dr. Yun sent me to an Iron Specialist over at City of Hope to get iron injections, but my iron wasn’t going up to where it needed to be for delivery. So we scheduled a caesarean and the day of delivery I received 4 blood and 4 platelet transfusions. I wasn’t able to get an epidural for the caesarean because the anesthesiologist felt that my platelet levels were still too low to do it safely. I was then put under during the caesarean (with my poor husband having to wait in the hallway). I feel that Dr. Yun did everything she could possibly think of to get me safely through the delivery (thankfully my daughter was never in any danger) I think she and the staff over at USC Verdugo Hills Hospital did a very remarkable and extraordinary job and I would recommend her in a heart beat. Thank you Dr. Yun for everything you’re the best!

I’ve never put any comments on any business or physician office, but I had to put my opinions about this office. First, the physician only works two days a week and because of that she is over booked for those days that she works. If you go for your appointment you are definitely waiting for more then 2 hours long in order to see her for your appointment. When you do see her for your appointment it is short and you felt that it was rushed and incomplete visit. Second, her office staff I think they are new and not experienced. Since I would be waiting to see the doctor I would hear the receptionist gives patients results over the phone. I would think it would be against patients confidentiality that receptionist would be giving results in front of other patients that can hear them. The person who rooms the patients her name is Ilane… I think is the only one who is pleasant, sweet, and always tries to help as much as she can. When I had pelvic pain they scheduled me to see just the ultrasound tech for next day. I ask to see how long the wait time to do the ultrasound was and was told it was not to long, but guess what! I was on time and the ultrasound tech was not! She was late for the first patient that was ahead me about 15 minutes and that pushed my scheduled time to see her back and that made me upset. While I was getting ready for my ultrasound I can hear the ultrasound tech speaking to the doctor about the first patients results. That was still unprofessional and not confidential at all. In general going to a doctor or do any ultrasound you are nervous already. I was accepting to have a nice and gentle ultrasound tech, but I did not get that from her. Overall my experience at this office was unpleasant and uncomfortable. I’m definitely not going back to this office! I will be searching for an office and physician who is going to respect patient time, who has a staff that is understanding, respect patients confidentiality, and a staff with knowledge and experience.

I can’t write enough about Dr. Yun. She has been my OBGYN for about 5 years now. When my insurance changed and she was no longer covered, I still saved cash to go to her (thankfully now, I’m back on insurance that covers her).
On two occasions now she has caught different things that could have been pretty bad for me if they had gone undetected.
To top it off, she’s smart and funny and really easy to talk to.

I was referred to Dr Yun by a friend as I was looking for a new OB. Right off the back I felt very comfortable with her! Then over a year later she delivered my first child. I loved having her as my doctor! She was so patient enthusiastic at all of my pre natal appointments! She made even hubs feel comfortable enough to ask all kinds of questions and always took time to answer any questions we had making sure we are satisfied with the answers. There were times that I had to email her with questions and she always responded by the end of the day. She’s also very honest and upfront which you won’t find in many doctors nowadays. Her staff is very nice too so I had nothing but great experience with at her office. I recommended her already to my sister and two other friends.

Dr. Yun is amazing! I’ve been going to her for the past couple of years and absolutely love her. She delivered my baby last year and was amazing. Thank you Dr. Yun!

Dr. Yun delivered my first baby and she is amazing. From the first time my husband and I met her she was warm, easy to talk to, patient and always seemed to be calm and relaxed (which I know can’t really be the case as she has a fully time practice and three kids herself.) She never rushed us. She was always available to answer our questions, including on email even when, looking back, I realize they were somewhat anal. I didn’t have the most amazing delivery– not because of Dr. Yun, and had to have an emergency C-​section. But I trusted her completely and looking back I’m so glad that she was the one calling the shots.
I met Dr. Tamayo, the other doctor in the practice, a couple of times and she seemed just as amazing– warm, caring, relaxed and patient. You could not do better than these two doctors. I am beyond sad that since I have moved out of the area Dr. Yun will not be able to deliver my second baby.

I would’ve given them at least 4 stars but I’m giving them 3 for ONE REASON. It’s the RUDE, LOUD billing lady that calls you to ask you for your insurance info after you’ve given it to them at least 3 times… after months of her calling – not to mention the last call she raised her LOUD voice and doesn’t bother to listen to you explaining the situation (no wonder she hasn’t received payment) We found out that SHE FORGOT TO BILL the insurance company…
So with that being said, I like Dr Yun and the other staff members are super nice and helpful – I’d avoid this «billing lady» like the plague.
She should know better not to yell at a pregnant lady about money she hasn’t received when she’s the one that forgot to bill them.
Glad I don’t have to deal with her anymore,

Dr. Yun delivered our first baby a couple years ago. She was very friendly and professional. She made us feel comfortable throughout the entire process and took her time to answer all of our questions. We really wanted to go back to Dr. Yun for baby #2 but couldn’t for insurance reasons.

Alice Yun is a breath of fresh air. She cares, she calls her patients, she answers her phones and she is very patient to talk to you and walk you through whatever you’re going through. I had a miscarriage and it was painful physically but more, emotionally. If I was not in Dr. Yun’s care, I would not have been able to get through it sane and able to move on like I am now. I will not have the clarity of mind to write this. So THANK YOU Dr. Yun. Being a mother herself of 3 kids, she has her hands full but I never felt at any moment, that she didn’t have time for me. She is amazing!

Dr. Yun delivered our baby #2 in July 2012! Once again she was fabulous, supportive, professional, and just awesome. I also cannot say enough about the wonderful staff, from the people at the front desk, to the nurses, to the ultrasound tech, Shelly. I also have seen Dr. Tamayo a couple of times and had a great experience.

Loved dr. Yun
She delivered my first child. She was always at my appointments except once when I saw dr, tamayo (who is also so nice and comfortable and great and you’re supposed to meet the other dr. s anyways,)
She always made me feel comfortable
None of that judging some doctors do. And if youre seeing her bc you are pregnant, she has kids! they all do, i haye seeng pediatricians without kids or obgyns when youre pregnant that dont have mids, just a personal preference, but its nice to know theyve also been through it and understand.
Wonderful delivery. Like really. I mean I had a great anesthesiologist, great nurses (at verdugo hills in 2010) and it was so comfortable and great. Also want to say the receptionist, nurses, etc. person who weighed me, the same woman each time, the office staff was exceptional. Yes, sometimes the wait for my appt was a few minutes longer but people like them, so it’s totally worth it, I wish I was still local to the area so I cold go back.
Also clean, clean bathrooms, and lots of magazines to read.

Dr. Yun:
I saw YOU on, Monday, October 25, 2010, we discussed my pregnancy and I voiced my concern that I had been bleeding during the weekend. YOU, personally, told me that bleeding during early pregnancy was perfectly «NORMAL,» and that I had nothing to worry about. In fact, you were quite dismissive of my concern regarding the bleeding. When I asked if you were going to perform an ultrasound, you told me that it was too early for that.
In fact, I did not go to work on this particular Monday because of the (weekend) bleeding. Instead, I went to see you. However, believing that I had «nothing to worry about» I went back to work on Tuesday, and had a miscarriage.
You seemed hurried during our appointment, and clearly had a more urgent matter to attend to during your lunch hour. This is why, I suspect, you did not order an ultrasound.
The «EMERGENCY NEW PATIENT» appointment you speak of was for TUESDAY, October 26, 2010, the day that I called your office, after having a miscarriage at work. And yes, your receptionist did make a same-​day appointment for me, but since I had just had a miscarriage (at work), I was running late and was unable to keep the appointment.
Regarding your office’s charting practices: I find it alarming and disconcerting that I was PERSONALLY seen by YOU, and yet there was no chart for me. In fact, your medical assistant gave me a urine test to confirm the pregnancy. Furthermore, my insurance was BILLED for an appointment with YOU on Monday, October 25, 2010. Clearly, your «practice management» needs to be overhauled.
In the future, I only hope that when a pregnant patient tells you that she has been bleeding, you don’t dismiss her concerns.

I love Dr. Yun and her office staff. She delivered my youngest daughter, and that was the best of my three births by far.
My previous OB was very experienced and came highly recommended by friends, but he was so popular that every appointment included a two to four hour wait, and he had no time or patience for my silly preferences, like not wanting to induce early, or not wanting an epidural. Oh man, when I was in labor I saw the scary side of him that I’d heard in hospital horror stories.
Needless to say, Dr. Yun has been nothing like my last OB. She is professional, calm and experienced, and she has great «bedside manner.» I totally trust her. She was willing to work with me and my preferences for the birth. I recommend her to all my friends. Her office staff is also very friendly and helpful, Leigh and Maggie in particular.
I recently had a miscarriage (my first), and Dr. Yun has been very kind and accommodating in this process. I wouldn’t go to anyone else.

Dr. Yun… I think I love you. After a horrid, horrid experience with my PCP who would not give/​fill my birth control prescription, I was sent to Dr. Yun. She listed to my story of horror, she listened to my crazy fears, she laughed, and she took the time to explain the difference between a PPO and an HMO! Seriously. What a gift. I wanted to make my Facebook status, I love my (insert v-​word) doctor. I didn’t do it, but it was a close one. I also would like to compliment the staff who answered two frantic lost phone calls and were so kind and explained everything to me. After such terrible care, I am relieved to have found a wonderful gem.

I have been a patient of Dr. Yun’s for more than 2 years. She is terrific. She has very up to date information about reproductive issues. I appreciated her sound guidance about birth control. When I had a scary Pap smear result, she was very supportive. I also appreciate how firm she is about making me get my mammograms and pap smears. Its easy to feel you are too busy for these tests, but she keeps making me look at the importance of proactive health care. Great bedside manner.

Alice Yun is an incredibly skilled professional. I had the pleasure to be her patient for a year and she was very explanatory regarding the services she was providing and why she ordered particular tests.
The reason why I will not go to her office anymore is because the office relies on a particular vendor (FOUNDATION LABORATORY) that has shady invoicing practices and her staff does not advise you upfront of possible future expenses, especially knowing that you do not have insurance.
I feel like you should be advised if any additional services have an extra charge.
Every time I go to the office and get a PAP smear I pay for it, and I am pretty sure I also pay the person working for the LAB. Then after a couple of months, I receive a bill with outrageous amounts (65.00 for a pap test, on top of the doctor fee. What:?!). This has happened two times and I paid, even after complaining to both the office and the vendor.
Now, what really pissed me off, is receiving a bill which was allegedly more than 120 days out and it was dated back to a year ago, November 2011! !! ! I had never received the bill before, I had paid at the time of the visit both the lab and the doctor. AFTER A YEAR, seriously Foundation Laboratory??? Not good.
Because I was getting more and more frustrated with this practice, the last time I visited I made sure I paid both the doctor and the lab fees. I asked for a receipt just in case. What really puzzled me at the time, however, was that the nurse working for the doctor asked me: «So Dr. Yun ordered blood tests since you are pregnant» and I was like… excuse me? I don’t know what you are talking about I am not pregnant!
She had mistaken me with another patient! So it might be very possible that every time I paid my fees, they allocated that fee to god knows what patient that now is probably enjoying free treatment. LOL!
Personally, I don’t have medical insurance so I pay everything out of pocket.
And this is not working for me.
Sorry Dr. Yun!

Dr. Yun is the best OBGYN I have ever been to. She is professional and easy to talk to… which is a huge compliment coming from me because I hate talking about personal stuff like my health! The office is quiet, clean, comfortable, and well staffed. Dr. Yun has my highest recommendation!

Dr. Yun isn’t my main OBGYN, but she works at the same office and covers Dr. Tamayo if she can’t deliver your baby. However, I saw Dr. Yun twice during my pregnancy. The first time was because Dr. Tamayo was delivering another baby during my appointment and Dr. Yun was kind enough to cover as many of Dr. T’s patients as possible. That’s amazing teamwork in that office. The second time was a preliminary meet and check up, as a just in case. This is so that we know Dr. Yun if Dr. T can’t deliver our baby for any reason and Dr. Yun has to.
I can’t understand how anyone could give Dr. Tamayo or Dr. Yun a negative review. I found Dr. Tamayo on a Unilocal search when I found out that I was pregnant. I’m super lucky that I found her.
Dr. Yun: The first time I saw Dr. Yun was because Dr. Tamayo was delivering another baby during my appointment and Dr. Yun was kind enough to cover as many of her patients as possible. That’s amazing teamwork in that office. The second time was a preliminary meet and check up, as a just in case. This is so that we know her in case our doctor can’t deliver our baby for any reason.
Dr. Yun is FANTASTIC! She gave me great advice about being induced and answered all my questions. I felt completely comfortable with her and never ever rushed.
The Staff: I happen to love the staff. They were always friendly and remembered me when I went in for my prenatal appointments. Always organized, I never waited more than 10 minutes for my appointment and that was usually when I was early. I can, however, see how people are turned off by the front desk receptionist. She isn’t overly friendly, but she also isn’t mean either. She just kind of is how she is. Doesn’t bother me.
The Ultrasound tech: Here is where my husband and I were kind of «eh». She was nice and all, but it seems like she isn’t excited about her job. I felt like she always fake-​smiled when we got excited about seeing the baby on ultrasound. We didn’t hate her, but it just kinda bummed our experience a little.
Overall, if I wasn’t already with Dr. Tamayo, I’d choose Dr. Yun. These two are amazing OBGYN’s that you would be lucky to have.

I saw Dr. Yun today for a routine Pap exam and I was so pleasantly surprised by not only how nice and up to date the office/​rooms were but also by how kind and helpful the staff was.
Going to the ‘lady doctor’ I know isn’t the most enjoyable thing out there, but after the warm welcome I received from Doctor Yun I am already excited to have her as our future doctor when we plan to have our second child. She took her time to get to know me and hear my concerns and made me feel very comfortable and valued.
Highly recommend it!

Love Dr. Yun! She’s very friendly and professional and walks you through the whole process. She’s very informative and makes you feel so comfortable.
The office is really nice and new too (although the building isn’t). The staff is very friendly especially the medical assistants inside and phlebotomist!
