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.

Caring, Compassionate, Extremely Skilled
On my first visit Dr. Yenchar knew my health history in detail. After running tests, he offered me options and information for medical treatment so that I could make an educated decision. His treatment has solved years of medical issues. He is professionally kind, caring, compassionate, and concerned about his patients. He makes you feel as if you are his only patient.

Dr Yenchar is an excellent doctor that thoroughly takes his time to explain the procedure you are going through. I was with him for at least 20 minutes for my pre op visit & asked him numerous questions. Not one time did I feel like I was being rushed or being hurried along. He answered every question I asked him. The day of surgery he met my wife & once again he explained the surgery & also asked my wife if she had any questions. Great doctor who really cares about his patients.

He has done 2 surgery's on me and he is the only doctor I have ever meet that really cares about his patients. Very professional. Very high bedside manners. I would suggest to anyone who has to have any surgery's in his field of work to let this doctor take care of the problem your having medically. Best doctor in the surrounding area.

Had a hiatal hernia repair which was causing acid reflux. Dr. Yenchar fully explained the issues, my specific problems and what would happen during the surgery. Surgery couldn't have gone any better and recovery has been fantastic. Just saw him today for the two-week follow up and can't believe I've done so well. He's been great with explaining everything and spending time to answer all questions I've had. Great doctor! What the medical profession should be like.

Went to ER for my gallstones. ER doc was going to let me leave but got Dr Yenchar for a consult and he insisted I get admitted and get it removed asap due to infection. I had put off this surgery for two yrs but I am so thankful Dr Yenchar was there when this happened. He took the time to come in my room sit down and visit with me before and after surgery and also fought extra time to get my swollen organ out laparoscopic l know many surgeons would have just cut me open. I really liked him
