This was my first time visiting this office and Doctor and he did more in one day than I've seen some office get done in a month. He was very patience, understanding, he listen and what I found to be awesome he made sure all my shots was updated because of my age and my job type, and by me neglecting myself not keeping or seeing my female Dr's he gave me a list of Dr's that works with and through out their office gave me the site name so i could go and make my choice after briefly recommending and giving me history on some of the lady Dr's because I requested a female. After that My Doctor Dr Yorek did all of my referrals that I had issues with the very same day and ive already got started on taking better care of myself. He's a good Dr because I definitely left his office feeling much better and confident that I was in the right hands and place to be cared for. I would and will recommend others to him. I THANK HIM and GOD BLESS him and his staff. His staff makes you very comfortable and see to you having everything that you need before leaving that office.

08/19/2024

Completely satisfied

08/14/2024

Everything went excellent and was very good except at the check-in. The lady at the check-in acted like she didn't want to be bothered. She talked in so low of a voice like you couldn't hardly understand what she said and just acted like it was a nuisance to even deal with you. Other than that, everything was great.

08/13/2024

Dr. Yorek prescribed a different medication for me that has completely eliminated the intense neuropathic pain I was experiencing in my feet. I'm able to fall asleep now without agonizing pain and get a decent night's sleep. I am very grateful.

08/13/2024

Keep up the good work. Thanks for your service

08/14/2024

Great facility. I have recommended them many times

07/11/2024

I called in need of a diagnosis and urgent treatment. Dr. Yorek, heard me, offered a same day appointment, but not being possible for me given circumstances I was involved, we agreed for an early morning office visit that was best for me. I was cared for promptly. I was very pleased.

07/03/2024

Dr. YOREK and his staff are always wonderful. I would recommend everyone to them.

07/03/2024

Nothing, everything went well.

07/01/2024

Don't ever lose Dr. Yorek!

06/21/2024

Dr yorek is soooooooo good

06/18/2024

The confirmations and attempts to makw sure I was still coming for my appointment were a bit excessive and overwhelming. Too many texts and emails redundantly doing the same thing.

06/19/2024

Impressed

06/19/2024

After surgery no one explained what really happened during the procedure. My wife was more concerned. No one called me to see how I am feeling.

06/17/2024

Very friendly and respectful! Listened to my concerns and explained everything well!

06/13/2024

I'm always satisfied after my appointments with the Baton Rouge Medical. Thank God for Dr. Yorek.

06/07/2024

Dr Yorek & his staff are always very nice and helpful.

06/07/2024

The medical tech was nice, efficient, and respectful but I was wondering why there was no nurse taking my vitals etc.

05/31/2024

Hey, Dr. Yorek, my experience there was phenomenal. He is a top-notch, compassionate provider. He spent time with me. He addressed each of my concerns. It's very evident that he enjoys his job and he cares for his patients. He also personally called me with my test results, so I really appreciate that and would 10 out of 10 recommend him.

05/28/2024

The staff was very professional.

05/31/2024

Billing issues should not be reported to collections. You need to collect during the patient visit

05/31/2024

05/14/2024

Dr. Yorek is always thorough, a great diagnostician, and comprehensive. I am proud to tell others that he is my Primary Doctor, and recommend Dr. Yorek as their Doctor.

05/14/2024

Great doctor!

05/10/2024

Yes, I'm a patient of Dr. Michael Yorek. I have nothing but good comments regarding the care I receive, the connection that he has with me and has gone on for about 10 years now. He's professional, he's kind, courteous, caring, and it's the kind of trait you hope to have in your primary care physician. So I think I've been with him for about 15 years and I've recommended him to many others. So that being said, my one comment would be staff, not staff but front staff, I know there's been a lot of turnover over the years but it would be nice if they would meet.

05/13/2024

Been using Dr. Yorek for A long time always listens to what I say and tell me how he can help me with my problems

05/09/2024

They let me know my insurance would pay in a couple of days and they would make me an appt for the following week. I appreciate them going the extra mile to let me know about this

05/08/2024

Was informative.

05/08/2024

The dr is very helpful and understanding He found a solution for me pretty fast after suffering from the problem for months

05/03/2024

The entire staff does an excellent job of listening. I felt personally cared for, not just a number.

05/02/2024

As always, an excellent experience.

05/02/2024

Dr. Yorek is an example of how a medical professional should be...he takes his time to listen, asked me about my overall state of being mentally and emotionally and is very positive and upbeat, sincere and caring..

05/02/2024

Dr Yorek nurses and staff are always kind asking how you are and really listening to what you have to say it makes you feel like they really care and I think they do that's why I go there for the last 10 years very happy with this doctor and his staff. Thank you.

05/02/2024

I waited for 30 minutes before I was able to submit my blood and urine. Apparently, the "system" has a glitch in it.

04/30/2024

I'm very pleased with my physician. To be totally honest to help improve service my only concern is that you cannot reach anyone by phone nor do they return your call. That's the only issue I have.

04/23/2024

A visit to Dr. Yorek's office is always a pleasure. Everyone is ready to take care of you in just the ways you need.

your provider was very kind and tried to help but the doctor spoke little explained nothing and just read the computter. I felt like just one of the chairs sitting there. I would like to know what is wrong with this old body of mine !

04/11/2024

Dr. Yorek is a fantastic doctor. He always makes time to hear what you have to say and what your problems are and he's never in a big rush and he's just a great guy.

04/11/2024

04/12/2024

Dr Yorek is an incredible doctor. Thorough, listens well, reviews medical records to determine best course of treatment.

04/10/2024

I really appreciated the time that the doctor downtown with me And I was presently surprised that I could be seen the same day. That wasn't my experience in the past, which is why I had been seeing walk-in clinics. I would much rather go to Dr. Yorek.

04/11/2024

Dr. Yorek is an excellent practitioner. He took the time to listen carefully to my concerns and he explained the care plan to me in a non-doctor language that I could understand. I didn't feel that he was rushing the visit at all. He showed empathy and compassion in his dealings with me. I highly recommend Dr. Yorek to anybody who is looking for a Primary Care Physician.
