What colleagues are saying…
“While living during these modern times, nearly one out of two of us will develop a chronic disorder. For some, there are illnesses that can be quickly sorted out at a local minute clinic, an over the counter remedy or supplement, or their ailment fades over time. But for many, it may be vague complaints, such as fatigue, a pain syndrome, headache disorders or gastrointestinal upset. That is when you will need not a provider, but a doctor or practitioner who takes the time to know your health history, your habits, and your personality. With this information, your doctor will then provide expert guidance, translating her medical knowledge and experience to ask the right questions, obtain and interpret up-to-date testing and work with you, to decide on the best treatment plan. I have had the distinct pleasure of Dr. Pam Yee over the years. We have collaborated in the care of patients who have fallen through the healthcare net, and few practitioners are as skilled and dedicated as Dr. Yee, by empowering patients with the tools to tackle often debilitating illness and build a path back to wellness. If you are not believed by your current medical providers or not getting any answers, then allow Dr. Yee to be your point person, to help guide you back to better health.”

“Integrative medicine (IM) physicians are the most particular of doctors. They are very specific about who they will send their patients to. They are meticulous about who they themselves and family members see. Pam Yee is an IM physician’s physician. Sought out by patients with an array of illnesses. She serves as a consultant for many different practitioners. If you’re stuck – bring in Pam!
She is certainly well trained – she has spent time learning from some of the finest practitioners in her chosen areas of concentration. That she knows her stuff goes without question. She is undoubtedly brilliant. Her way of looking at disease is well honed, approached with curiosity and open-mindedness. Infused with many years of experience. And her own special perspective. She is a sleuth – persistent in turning over every stone until all the clues are revealed. Never short cuts or neglects to go through the history herself. Researches her approach and brings new eyes to any clinical situation. She is a problem solver. Pam is the one that everyone brings their difficult patients to. She is innovative – willing to take her patients through new ways of approaching their diseases. Even in cases that seem to be hopeless, she brings encouragement, palliation, support.
I would trust and have trusted her with my own care and that of my loved ones. I am proud to call Dr. Pam Yee my colleague and friend.”

As she peels back the layers of complex medical issues, she skillfully incorporates cutting-edge nutrition, herbs, and lifestyle factors with medicine. She is careful, thoughtful, and confident in designing strategic approaches to healing. She is brilliant with a wonderful touch of tenderness. Dr. Yee is the salt of the earth.”

Integrative and Functional Nutritionist
“Dr. Pamela Yee and I have known each other for many years. Pamela Yee is a great functional medicine doctor educated far beyond what most doctors have experienced in their education. She has trained with some of the best integrative people in the country and is now part of this elite group.
Because of her extensive training in all things immune, she gets some very complicated patients and makes them better. Her time spent researching each patient's particular issues and needs, places her far above anyone I have ever met. She finds studies for different issues and then applies her research to the patient's care. Thinking outside the box and connecting the "dots" makes her an exceptional practitioner. Besides being a great physician and healer, she is a wonderful and compassionate person loved by all that meet her.”

“I have had the pleasure of knowing Dr. Yee for more than twenty years, when she was early in her career as a physician in what was then known as “integrative medicine.” Dr. Yee impressed me then, as she does today, with not just her medical knowledge and thorough approach, but with her attention to the whole person, the whole patient, and the context in which that person lives. Dr. Yee exhibits a curiosity that is rare today in medicine. She is never done learning and growing, despite her many years of experience. Curiosity is one of the most important traits in a medical practitioner, and Dr. Yee exhibits that quality at the highest level. In addition, she is a highly intuitive person and practitioner, and uses her sensitivity and ability to be tuned in to each and every patient in order to ensure the right diagnosis and treatment. Dr. Yee is an exceptionally skilled physician and I am pleased and honored to be her colleague.”

“It is very fortunate that I am able to refer to Dr. Yee my acupuncture patients with complex multiple-system conditions that cannot be adequately addressed in their primary care. My collaboration with Dr. Yee goes back to 2004 and I always find her willing to spend all the time needed to speak with the patient, research the condition, and offer solutions that are cutting-edge. My patients find it reassuring that Dr. Yee and I can collaborate to incorporate biomedical care with East Asian medicine.”
