Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Yepes communicates openly and professionally!
During my visit, Dr Yepes explained all tests he recommended after reviewing my CT scan and hearing my patient history! In order to diagnose and treat my pulmonary issues, he promptly requested immediate scheduling of a list of procedures! Also, He gave me another list of homework to retrieve all necessary medical records from past treatments to help now. Altogether, Dr Yepes was very thorough, which was reassuring to me as a patient! I am very impressed with Dr Yepes and his friendly staff to take my health concerns seriously and begin immediate action to solve and treat! And, I highly recommend him and his entire staff to new patients! Sincerely, Patsy Day

Doctor Yepes is trying his very best to give me information on how to improve my lung function . I listen to him and do the things he says might help . He mentioned the Zepher valves instead of lung reduction surgery . He is giving me hope that something might help my condition . I sure hope that UMC buys the equipment for this procedure . Because it sure sounds like this new procedure can help a lot of people
