About Me
As a retinal specialist and surgeon, I have experience treating diabetic eye diseases, retinal vascular disorders, macular diseases, retinal detachments, complex diabetic retinal detachments and traumatic retinal detachments. My passion for eye care comes from the tremendous role vision has in our lives. I continue to study the latest and most innovative techniques for treating eye diseases in order to provide the highest quality care to my patients.
I believe the best way to care for patients is to understand their unique needs and to tailor the care to according to those needs. I approach each patient as if he or she was a member of my own family and I strive to give the kind of high quality individualized medicine I would want for my family.
Ohio State is a large institution with immense resources and cutting edge technologies. I wanted to be in an environment that fosters continuing education and learning, and the Department of Ophthalmology is just the right setting. With a large residency program and fellowship programs in multiple subspecialties, I have the opportunity to help train future generations of ophthalmologists.

Professional
Excellent
She always remembers the plan and updates me. Great manner
Very professional
No bad
Good help for care
Doctor should tell the patient what she is about to do before doing it. At one point she asked for a cotton swab but did not tell me what the purpose of her using this tool was going to be which caused some anxiety. When I asked what she was going to do with the cotton swab her answer was not the most empathetic.
She was very good at explaining
Dr Yanoga is, simply, the best, nicest, most professional doctor I've encountered in a long time.
Very detailed

Good
Very nice
Some of the exam was a little bit more extreme than I expected, and the times I could not understand her directions
She was great. But it was impossible to tell if she was talking to me or her assistant during the tests. And she was talking in code without explaining anything, but my chin was pressed against the examining device so I couldn't ask any questions. A better way to conduct the exam would be to explain that she would be giving coded results to the assistant and could explain them after the exam.
Always a good experience
Seemed to care

I first saw Dr. Barb Mahilik and she recognized I have a serious problem and she got me in to see Dr. Yanoga after a very short wait. Dr. Yanoga was very thorough, carefull, and lovingly supportive in giving me some progably bad news about my vision, pending further testing aned review of pictures of my eye from another provideer before my eye became so bad to try to determine what happened to my retina. Perfection in a doctor.
I was treated very good.

Excellent care

Excellent explanation and advice given by provider.
Dr. Yanoga is efficient, very knowledgeable and friendly
I had been referred to Dr Yanago by Dr Zhang but she did not appear to have read my case/file prior to entering room. With an extremely blas? attitude about my vision loss and super short exam, she dismissed me. To her it was not a retina issue, so why was I there to see her basically. Then she passed me off to a glaucoma specialist like a shot in the dark. One of the most upsetting visits, I've had ever with a dr. I waited a month to be dismissed and an afternoon off work and an hr drive from home. While I did arrive early out of concern for the weather, it was over 1.5 hrs from testing to seeing the dr with no concern from anyone when I stepped out of the room to make sure I hadn't been forgotten.
Friendly, courteous, caring, professional, listened, offered instruction

She's a good person a good family a good doctor. She's care of me I really appreciate her services.
I've been seeing Dr. Yanoga since 2019. Over time, visits have become increasingly stressful for me. It appeared as though she just did not like me. I don't know if there was a particular reason, but no matter how I tried to mitigate and/or improve the situation, she became increasingly cold toward me. For example, I could overhear her interacting with other patients & she was very friendly, but would come into my exam & barely greet me. On my last visit with her, she did not perform an exam of my eyes as she had on EVERY PREVIOUS VISIT. I asked, "No exam today?" and she just said "NO". I felt like I could not ask why and she did not offer any further. Also on my last visit, when she gave me my injection, she stood directly in front of me & approached me in a direct way - this was unusual, as in the past, she stood to the side & approached so that I did not see the needle. In summary, she became very cool and unapproachable over time, almost as if she intended to discourage me form continuing under her care. I ended up asking my endo for a recommendation for another doctor. I never had any issue with Dr. Panoga that I could pinpoint, so I'm not sure why this happened, but I will say it became very stressful to see her. Importantly, I had no issue with her treatment decisions and believed she was very competent at her job, but when you have to see a provider so often, it's important to me that I don't have to deal with situations like this one has been.
Very professional and explains things in a way that is easily understood.
I have a great deal of admiration for Dr. Yanoga. I noticed and appreciate how she treats everyone with respect. She is extremely intelligent and her compassion shines through her exceptional gifts & talent!
Okay
All good.
Provider is great. Shows empathy and is kind.
