About Esmond K Yen

About The Provider

 Dr. Yen earned his medical degree and completed his residency at the University of Illinois-Chicago. He has been in practice for over 20 years, earning accolades from his patients and his colleagues, including scoring above the 95th percentile on patient satisfaction scores for more than the past three years. 

As his focus has been primary care for women and minimally invasive surgery, Dr. Yen has developed “really great, long-term relationships with many of my patients and their families.  This is probably the most rewarding part of my job and the part I enjoy the most.”  
Outside of his practice, Dr. Yen enjoys traveling and spending time with his family.

This provider is a member of Silver Cross Health Connection, a physician-hospital organization (PHO) made up of independent physicians who have been approved by some health plans to treat patients within the Silver Cross Health Connection network.* Silver Cross Health Connection is a network of approved providers that was created to make your provider selection process easier. 

 

Personal Interests

Prenatal care and high-risk pregnancy management, labor and delivery, infertility and reproductive endocrinology, menstrual disorders, menopause and hormone therapy, gynecologic surgery including minimally invasive techniques, contraception and family planning, cervical and breast cancer screening, pelvic pain and endometriosis, sexually transmitted infections, and preventive women’s health across the lifespan.

Philosophy Of Care

“I believe in treating the whole patient; not just the physical side, but also the emotional and spiritual side.  I believe that this results in the best care and satisfaction for the patient. If necessary, that means collaborating with doctors who practice in other specialties. The practice of medicine is so complex that no single specialty can adequately take care of the entire patient.”

    I had an amazing experience with my new OB Dr. Yen! From the moment I walked into the office, I felt welcomed and at ease. The staff was friendly and efficient, and the waiting area was comfortable. When I met the doctor, he was incredibly kind, attentive, and knowledgeable about my past medical health history. He took the time to listen to my concerns, answer all my questions thoroughly, and explain everything in a way that was easy to understand. I felt like he truly cared about my well-being. The examination was gentle and professional, and I left feeling confident and reassured. I highly recommend Dr. Yen to anyone seeking compassionate and expert care!

    Dr. Yen does a great job of explaining every step of the treatment from steps that occurred before my visit to during and after as well. He always answers my questions and does a good job of explaining the "why" behind each step. I will say, he does always come into the room a little frantically and can talk quickly sometimes which can make it hard to digest information.
