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 Yertha is so kind and explains like he truly ca
His kindness and explains everything so you can understand. Very helpful and honest

A caring professional
When Dr Yertha walked in the room he had already reviewed my history and was up to date on all my recent health issues.. he evaluated my condition with compassion and expertise.. really listening to all I had to say… and came up with a treatment plan that was tailored to my needs! I would definitely recommend him.

Dr. Yertha is very experienced in his field.
Dr. Yertha is a kind, caring pulmonologist who listens and answers all of my questions. I have utmost confidence in him and his nurses. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone needing a doctor with his specialty and especially with his experience. The wait time from checking in until actually seeing the doctor is minimal. If ever a patient needs to get in touch with him, his nurses are only a phone call away and his response is quite prompt.

Great Doctor
He went over my medical history and said he could see that I had a problem, he explained everything in a way that a lay person could understand, he said he wanted to do some testing to pinpoint the problem that I’m having. Very knowledgeable.

my appointment with Dr. Yertha
During my appointment with Dr. Yertha, he gave me his reading on breathing test that I had taken. The results were good. He explained them completely to me. He was down to earth and explained things that I had no problem understanding. I will keep Dr. Tertha as my Pulmonary Specialist. PS- the nurse and office personnel were great too.
