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.

Very Responsive, Common Sense Approach
Dr. Yager has been very helpful and responsive in helping me with a major orthopedic issue. He’s talked me “off the ledge” in terms of dealing with the issue, understanding the surgical vs non_ surgical options, and overall support. I like his common sense approach to medical issues. It’s now one year with the practice and I remain very pleased.

Dr Yager is very thorough, professional and takes his time answering all questions. Of the times I texted Dr Yager, he responded immediately (!!!) with a phone call regardless of the urgency. I've always found his staff to be friendly, bloodwork drawn effortlessly and without even feeling a pinch. I appreciate Dr Yager tends to be conservative with his patients-- not pushing unnecessary testing or meds. Yes, I would highly recommend Dr Yager.
