How likely are you to recommend Dr. Yatooma?
Incredibly kind, sensitive doctor. And for emergency room doctor? I was dumbstruck! He's really that nice. And he's an excellent clinician, to boot. I met I'm through the er at La mesa Sharp, where I was for admitted for about 2 weeks (I was pretty I'll), and I've never been so impressed with a doctor, under any circumstances.
