5.0 star star star star starBoth assisting Nurse Kasha, and Dr Yoo were friendly approachable, explained the steps and answered questions before the procedure. They were also engaging and our conversation during the procedure kept me distracted and entertained.

5.0 star star star star starMohs surgeries have been well-managed and efficient. Dr. Yoo explains the procedures and is direct and clear with his comments and recommendations. The nurse who assisted him in this surgery and one previous, first name begins with "K", is excellent during surgery and is detailed and thorough about post surgical wound care and follow-up.

5.0 star star star star starVisited for skin excision. Much more cognizant of cosmetic concerns than other Northwestern dermatologists. Good bedside manner, keeps conversation going during procedures to lighten the mood, and his assistant Veronica is the BEST, kindest, and most deserving medical staff member I have ever encountered. Give her a raise!

Disclosures
Simon S. Yoo, MD reported no external professional relationships for calendar year 2023.
External Professional Relationships
Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
