Dr. Yee is a great doctor. He is kind and very generous with his time. My family was very worried but he explained everything so clearly that we were all at ease the day of surgery. His expert care saved my life from cancer.

Dr Yee is a very kind and patient surgeon. Dr McGuire also saw me on the weekend and she was also very kind. Thank you to the VGH thoracic team.

Dr. Yee is, most definitely, a gifted surgeon but he is also a tremendously compassionate and attentive person. As someone rated previously, he is absolutely a gift from God to his patients and their families.

To Whom It May Concern,

Today I turn 60.

Because Dr Yee LISTENED to my story of a 16 year struggle with severe reflux disease, horrible abdominal pain every single time I ate, acid aspirations 3-4 x/week, loss of 100 pounds in just over a year because it hurt too much to eat and the most daunting being told by 8 doctors both GP and Specialists that "my case was hopeless, go home, cope, accept that you are going to die an early death, you are disabled."

All my teeth broke off or fell out from the severe acid reflux always in my mouth, I was afraid to go anywhere except the grocery store as I never knew if I opened my mouth to speak there would be acid or stomach contents shooting out my mouth onto the floor which it did many times.

I even had to quite often flush food particles out of my sinuses as the acid would exit my nose and ears too.

For 16 years I put up with this nightmare.

I had a large hiatus hernia, my esophagus had burn scars and was no longer swallowing normally, plus the valve that separates the esophagus from the stomach acid was scarred wide open so I had acid fluid up in my esophagus 24/7 which really burned.

My stomach had a twist at the top of it and at the bottom plus an avulsion at the small bowel junction.

Dr. Yee did a 5 hour surgery to repair all the above and give me the first sleep that lasted longer than 2 hours at night without a single drip of acid reflux in 16 years.

I am so VERY grateful to this great surgeon.

I recommend him to anybody that has a difficult "hopeless" case.

Signed
D Brown, Kamloops, BC

I almost don't believe him to be a regular human being as he works so hard, has long hours, gets very little sleep and is still so comforting and reassuring to his clients and their families. They're are not enough doctors out there like this and we were truly blessed he fell upon our family

Dr. Yee has more compassion than any surgeon I have ever encountered. He treats people like people not conditions and I will always be grateful he saved my Mom's life. Thank you Dr. Yee. You are a wonderful doctor and person!
