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. Yorek has been my fathers primary care physician for at least a decade. My father had to be admitted to the hospital 24 hours after an appointment with doctor yorek. When asked he couldn’t be bothered to walk 2 min in the hospital he is already in and just check on him. That’s unbelievable

Dr. Yorek is very kind. He seems very knowledgeable. You can always feel comfortable telling him what’s wrong even if it’s embarrassing because he just wants to fix the problem, no judgements. He is very comfortable allowing you to have input. If you have read about what’s wrong and have questions or wonder why things aren’t being done a certain way, he’s very open to discussing things with you. These have been my experiences with him. I would recommend him to anyone.

Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Yorek?
Dr. Yorek is a great doctor as always but I would like to take the time to acknowledge his nurse Brandi. She is always eager to help with anything she can and always takes the time to ask how my family is doing and is such a pleasure to deal with. I was pretty sick and even after Brandi had all ready called and gave me my test results and treatment plan , she called 2 weeks later to tell me she was thinking about me and just wanted to see how I was feeling. WOW what a great nurse he has !

I have been seeing dr. yorek for about 6 years. There has not been one time that he has not given me his full attention, an listened with compassion. He helped me get thru one of the most difficult situations in my life. I have recommended him to so many an they all have gone an felt the same way. He has treated me medically, physically, an that's worked, but his listening ear, an compassion has been the one thing I needed!

Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Yorek?
Dr. Yorek is very nice, and I feel like he genuinely cares. However, some of the office staff are not nearly as great. The front desk staff are often confused, and Dr. Yorek's nurse is extremely rude. Also sometimes difficult to get an appointment.

He is the best doctor I've ever met!! But his nurse Brandy is one of the best nurses I've ever come in contact with. Not only as a nurse but as a person. She communicates well and relates on a level that can not be faked. I would change doctors if she left. Dr. Yorek could never replace her
