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.
She seemed nice in the beginning but has problem with follow through with blood work and x-ray results as someone else mentioned. I had to call numerous times and left countless voicemails just to get my results. I'll continue looking for a compassionate doc in the area.

Dr Younkers is simply an compassionate, incredible, highly intelligent doctor. She pays great attention to every detail and aspect of assessing your condition. My entire family uses Dr Younker and we could not be more happier to be a member of her family of patients. Dr Younkers has treated us from cancer to heart conditions and never guided us in the wrong direction. Absolutely adore her!

Dr. Younker was my doctor when she was located in Florida. She always took time to listen to me whenever I came in to see her and utilizes technological advances available in medicine such as messaging through patient portals to continue to improve a patient's access to care. She also understood the importance to setting a baseline for my health and did not disregard my health concerns because I am younger that the majority of patients that are normally served here. She is greatly missed.

After my regular doctor retired, it took time to find someone with whom I felt comfortable as well as a doctor who accepted my insurance. I found both with Dr. Younker on my first visit and then some. She is so friendly and positive and makes me feel at ease in her office. I am so happy that she is now my doctor!

I had the privilege of working with Dr. Younker through her residency program. When she found herself at Hilmoor Heart and Family location I was fortunate enough to become a new patient of hers. I have had a couple of regular sick visits with Dr. Younker and one emergency where she was able to squeeze me in that day. Her bedside manner is unhurried and her genuine concern for my well-being is what makes me trust her the most.

Dr. Younker is one of the most proficient, courtesy, and knowledgeable physicians I have met with in decades. Her presence exudes a sense of trust and confidence. When she enters the exam room, she enters with a smile and a handshake. She never seems rushed, will carry on a conversation with you and never look at her watch. She has the unique quality of listening to you when you are describing symptoms or a problem. Dr.Younker has the bedside manner of the "real" doctors of the past.
