Comments
Wouldn't trade her at all. Fantastic doctor.
Dr. Yasmeen is wonderful!!
Always a great experience. Even when diagnosed 2-3 years ago.
Dr. Yasmeen is a great doctor and she took the time to explain everything I needed to know regarding diabetes. She also explained my medication and test that I will need in the future due to being a new heart transplant patient. I met her after my heart surgery and it's been a great experience having her on the team.
My doctor is the best I like her.
Very good.
Great such a good caring doctor.
Very good. No complaints.
always nice and helpful when needed
Dr. Yasmeen made me feel comfortable and she truly seemed like she cared and wants to help me feel better. Although she was great; I was slightly uncomfortable with her aide that came in the room to take notes for her.
The experience was good and informative. We discussed my condition and a plan to continue my progress.
My experience has always be good with is Provider. I feel comfortable talking with the provider, and our discussions about my condition and my future health plans.
A Very pleasant and thoughtful Doctor.
good visit
Good
I feel confidence in Dr. Yasmeen and her staff. She understands that I am not perfect but am trying to follow healthy habits for eating and exercise.
Dr Yasmeen is a great Dr. I have seen her for many years. she takes her time and asks questions of me.
my experiences have usually been positive. there have been times when I've had to call, and there seemed to be a breakdown in communication, as a didn't receive a call back or any answer to a question I had raised.
She listened to everything I researched.
She is very friendly and encouraging she gives you all the facts and leave nothing out. I love her as a doctor.
the wait time is always long but Dr. Yasmeen is an endocrinologist and sees a lot of people especially in my area.
good
the doctor is not my regular dr but she treated me as if i was her regular patient and she was well verse on my condition.
she has always been very professional, and she is a very good doctor!
Always a good experience with Dr. Yasmeen.
very good
this was the first time I visited this doctor,and the first visit at this facility.I had an comfortable and pleasant experience.
Very good.
Very friendly service and staff.
it was very good.
good visit, helping me get a medication approvedthru my insurance
I'm always pleased with my follow-up visits with Dr. Yasmin. She;s very thorough and patient.
This was the 2nd visit where I waited a half hour for the doctor. She thanks me for waiting, but what choice do I have?
I had a very good visit

My visited with Dr. Yasmeen are always outstanding.
Dr. Yasmeen is very professional, thorough, kind and concerned. My annual visits with her are always good.
Dr. Yasmeen has helped me stabilize my thyroid for years which is why I only have had to see her annually for the past several years.

Good comment very comfortable and feel better after visit.
My regular doctor is out on maternity leave and this doctor was seeing her patients. She was well verse on my medical condition. I was very comfortable with her.
Never have seen me before I felt it was a good experience because she was very knowledgeable about my health history.
Dr. Tahira Yasmeen is the best.
Always the best.
very nice.
The wait time was really long, this was the second time that I waited over 50 min to see my provider. I had to take time off from work to ensure I'm there on time. My suggestion is to call patients if the provider is running really far behind.
I always have a good visit with Dr. Yasmeen. we go over my log, and give me good information about my diet and sugar levels.
Dr Yasmeen always talk to me like she cares; consider my opinion.
She always listens and answers any questions I may have.
Excellent experience
I had 8:30 am appt, Dr came in room 9:15. my time is valuable also , I had to go to work.i like others do not like to sit and wait .Doctors need to decrease amount of visits they schedule or maybe start decreasing office visits if later than 15 min..
everything was great
dr listen to me and pointed me in the right direction. She gave me the impression she cared about my wellbeing.
Excellent on all visits
She greets me like a friend
Dr.Yasmeen is amazing and professional. I just recently became ill within the past year and she explained everything thoroughly and listened to all my concerns. I feel extremely lucky to have found such a very very smart Endocrinologist!!
the wait time was too long for the short duration of the time that I had with my doctor.
I see Dr. Yasmeen every 3-4 months and I like her but the wait time is too long. I almost would rather schedule a virtual visit with her since there is really no need for me to go to the office that often.
I enjoy Dr Yasmeen!
Dr. Yasmeen is my diabetes doctor, she is always concerned with my health condition and calls me when I do good. Dr Yasmeen went over my condition, gave me an exam and we went over my prescriptions.
Dr. Yasmeen is excellent

great experience
Dr. Yasmeen and her staff are wonderful. When I need to call the office, I always ask for X, her certified diabetes educator. He calls back in a timely manner and is very personable and knowledgeable (sp?). Dr. Yasmeen always recalls things that have happened to me and is always attentive to what I say.
