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.

I have been a patient of hers since 2008. I have followed her to different areas just to keep seeing her. Dr Yost has always been straight up with me and answers my questions so I understand better. When I was in treatment and had an issue she took care of it in in a decent time. Thoughtful,caring,and understanding.

Kathleen Yost treated my wife for 1 1/2 years. Her incompetence and lack of follow up testing killed my wife.

We waited at her office in Greenville for over two hours. She raised her voice twice during my fathers appointment when we asked questions. She knew nothing about his results or what was going on since being in the hospital. We asked why keep masking his pain with meds and she stated "sometimes that's what you have to do". She was rude the entire time. When she walked out of room she stated to the front desk "that should have been a new patient appointment", mind you she had seen my father prior

I didn't want to have to drive to Grand Rapids for my appointments, and Dr. Yost works in Greenville one day a week. During our first meeting she sat with me for a long time, going over all of my options and explaining the process to me. The staff at SH United Cancer Center has been amazing about scheduling my tests and appointments, and following up to make sure I have everything I need. I feel like DR. Yost is doing everything for me that she possibly can. I highly recommend her.

Wait time was one hour, spent 15 minutes maybe 20 at the most with me. I was concerned about swelling and she told me it was most likely normal, never did do a exam to see if it was normal.
