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. Yost listened to me in a way that many doctors have not and I am so grateful for his time, care, and expertise. I would recommend him to anyone seeking rheumatological care.

Excellent Experience
I saw Dr Yost today after a long history of being invalidated and gaslit by providers. He took great time to explain everything to me, help me understand why this was happening and why I was in pain. He thoroughly reviewed my records. Dr Yost was the first doctor to look at me and my body like the interconnected network of systems that it is. Even though this pain isn't going anywhere- validation and a bit of time goes a LONG way and he's willing to make adjustments to meds to get this machine working the best it can. Grateful our paths have crossed.
