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.

Best doctor ever
He is the only doctor to listen to my issues. He read over tests that Carle failed to communicate and had me on a path to better health after the first visit! I won’t see anyone else now. After my primary said “you’re wasting gastros time but I’ll get you a referral.” I was in fact not wasting their time.

Listens to me
Dr Yarbrough is patient and takes time with me. I never feel rushed and he has helped me and several of my family members feel so much better. He is the ONLY reason I still go to Franciscan Health.

AWESOME This is probably one of the best GI doctors in Chicago. I have been to large medical centers, and they just don't really tell you what is happening. At times they can make you feel like you are crazy, but you are not. You just have not seen Dr. Yarbrough. He brings in the sunshine. He answers questions, he is reassuring,conforting and overall one intelligent physician. I have had few issues afterward a scope, but when I call, there is never a problem with him recommending something to make it better. God bless you Dr. Yarbrough, you are a shining star.

Dr. Yarbrough is a professional, honest doctor who is determined to finding the root cause of your ailment. If he cannot or needs specific guidance outside of a GI related issue, he has no troubles referring you to one of his trusted colleagues who typically specialize in a specific medical area. However, it is extremely unfortunate that his office staff is the opposite. There are particular staff members that can be unprofessional and sadly quite rude, both via phone communication and in person
