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.

Awesome doctor
Dr. Yakish replaced my knee and my hip. I’m scheduled for the other hip in November. I’m so satisfied with my recovery. He’s an amazing doctor who truly cares about patients. I would recommend anyone who is having knee or hip replacement to visit him.

I had my hip replaced with the anterior approach by Dr Yakish. He explained everything fully and did an amazing job. I was walking without any devices in 2 weeks. My care was excellent from beginning to end. I highly recommend him!

Excellent Surgeon and Joint Replacement Program
Dr. Yakish replaced my knee 3 weeks ago. He is a kind, compassionate, dedicated professional. The joint replacement program that he and his colleagues have created is outstanding from planning, education, day of surgery to post-op recovery. I knew what to expect at every phase. My experience has been outstanding.

Excellent orthopedic surgeon
Dr Yakish replaced my hip 2 weeks ago. From the first visit to my post op appointment, the entire process was a very positive experience! His knowledge and kindness is so appreciated and the ease of having any of my questions or concerns answered by his Physician’s assistant immediately was an added bonus. I would recommend him to anyone in need of a hip or knee replacement!
