Well things don't always go right but I appreciate Dr Yorek and his staff tremendously.

06/19/2025

Dr. Yorek is a very good doctor. He listens very well. He's very welcoming. He, as you can tell, he's a very good person. Not only a good doctor. Y'all are glad to have that doctor there. The staff is always, always nice.

06/20/2025

Almost no waiting, yay! Dr. listened and ordered the tests I was concerned about.

06/19/2025

I wanted to see my doctor that day due to some experiences I had with balance. My doctor saw me the same day and explained my balance problem and made arangnements to see a PT person. I appreciated the quick response to my concerns. Thank You.

06/17/2025

Excellent experience

06/17/2025

The nurses and staff up there is are amazing Doctor Yorek is the best

06/11/2025

I did not understand why we took all the blood tests that we did. Minor question. That's it.

06/11/2025

Great experience!

06/09/2025

Excellent experience with all the staff I interacted with

05/20/2025

I just want to say that my experience and continue experience and past experience has been great. Dr. YOREK is the best doctor that I have ever seen and his staff is awesome. Hands down, I don't want to go see anybody else. They make me comfortable, they listen, they are helpful. Hands down the greatest staff and one of the greatest doctors.

05/21/2025

My doctor is very knowledgeable about my health and well being.

05/19/2025

Dr. Yorek and his team do a wonderful job assisting me each time I am in the office and or needing assistance over the phone.

05/20/2025

I have serious "White Coat A Phobia" but Dr. Yorek makes going to the doctor a comfortable and stress free experience. He's the Best !

05/20/2025

Efficient and professional

05/15/2025

Always very professional and personable.

05/14/2025

Dr. Yorek is top notch!

05/13/2025

There was a huge mistake on the labs part which in turn made me sit for hours before being seen. This was nothing to do with Dr part. The lab technicians need to follow policies they took my labs before I even seen my Dr.

05/13/2025

I love Dr. Yorek as my Physician and his staff is always supportive and attentive.

05/13/2025

This visit I'll never forget the staff was very attentive and very timely. I have been here with several love ones and experienced some things I just can't relive right now.

05/06/2025

For my first visit there at that office, it was excellent. I enjoyed the visit. The doctor was great. Everybody else was great. I haven't been but one time to this office, so I would have to let you know later on what goes on. But thank you very much.

05/02/2025

Dr. Yorek and his team are the best!!

05/01/2025

Love this Dr and office

04/23/2025

Yes, Dr. Yorek and his staff always take tremendous care of me and they take care of all my needs. He's the best. Thank you.

04/23/2025

Dr. Yorek is caring, knowledgable and outstanding physician. His staff members are also very good.

04/23/2025

Everything went well with the exception of the blood draw for a test. I had to come back because they did not draw the correct amount the first time.

04/22/2025

Everything went smoothly. Friendly staff and great doctor!

04/22/2025

I waited over a half hour to do the lab work as it was not submitted and I had to inquire about being seen

04/23/2025

Dr. Yorek is very knowledgeable and very caring! I am very thankful for him and his staff!

04/10/2025

The staff was kind and courteous throughout my entire stay

04/14/2025

Dr. Yorek was very patient, understanding and knowledgeable of my medical history. I was impressed when I realized that he reviewed my medical history the day before my appointment. He exhibited the willingness to get to the systemic cause of what was creating my discomfort. He prescribed medication that did exactly what he said it would do. My symptoms decreased and for the first time in 12 days I was able to feel some relief. He made me feel secure about my prognosis after explaining in detail what was going on with my body and how it should respond to the treatment he was providing vs. what had been done previously by other healthcare providers. His willingness to bring me in his office and thoroughly showing me his plan of care was something that from a health professional, I was not accustomed to. He came highly recommended and I was not disappointed. I left the office highly impressed and feeling assured that he would be able to help me get my medical, physical, emotional and mental limitations to a level where I can began to live a healthier, functional lifestyle again. He displayed both sympathy and empathy and exudes what a health care professional is supposed to demonstrate to their patients. His yearning desire to help me feel better, started by just listening and answering all of my worst and best case scenarios. He put me at ease by reiterating that we both have an invested interest in my health. The goal is to get better but we have to treat my current symptoms from the inside out first before we can address the other concerns. We now have a road map and we have to carefully navigate each stop until we reach our destination. Referrals were done without delay. There weren't false promises, a play on words or my insecurities just hard truths and the willingness to make me feel comfortable that we were on the right track and no stone will be overlooked. I now have a sense of hope that I have found a doctor that has a vested interest in actually wanting to make sure that I'm comfortable and that we can work together to achieve maximum outcome with my overwhelming health challenges. I must add, I was very hesitant about returning to the clinic because my previous experience with the office gave me pause because of the distain and treatment I received many years prior. I'm so glad that I didn't allow my experience to overshadow my desire to address my stat health needs and to seek emergency medical clarity. I'm feeling confident and have high expectations that I've found a healthcare facility to address my complicated health challenges. Time will tell but I think I'm on the right path.

04/15/2025

Lab. service took longer that the 15 minutes on you sign.

04/07/2025

Dr Yorek is the best! I'm proud to have him as my primary Dr. The staff is wonderful and accommodating. I have already recommended them to other individuals and will continue to do so.

04/04/2025

Check in was very timely. Was called by nurse within 15 minutes. Seen by doctor after vitals was taken in 10 minutes. Doctor greeted me when he entered the room. He listened to what I said. All responses were favorable. Very good to see him, always very caring to me as a patient.

04/01/2025

Great doctor

03/31/2025

Dr. Yorek and his staff are kind, compassionate, efficient, and totally trustworthy. He is the best!

03/31/2025

Only issue I had was the wait time to get my lab work completed. One three occasions I had other people who came into the lab waiting area get called before me. Per the sign in the waiting area, after 15 minutes I notified my doctor's nursing station who said they would check into it. After returning to the waiting area, I waited approximately another 10 minutes where another person who was seated after my return to the waiting area was called by the lab technician before me. Don't know where the ball was dropped but waiting almost a half-hour for lab work is unacceptable.

03/25/2025

Parking was horrible. Had to walk a far distance on uneven rocky road.

03/25/2025

Dr. Yorek is completely thorough and informative.

03/13/2025

Yes, I have been a patient of Dr. Yorek's for at least 10 years or more and I always appreciate his level of professionalism and courtesy and genuine overall care regarding my health, any numbers that he may be concerned about. I truly appreciate it. Not many provide that level of attention to detail or care and I've recommended Dr. Yorek to many other friends for their medical checkups, physicals.

03/13/2025

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

07/11/2024

07/03/2024

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.

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.

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

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.
