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.

Great communicator, pays attention to results and changes course when needed.

Dr. Yasenchak explains the results of my tests very clearly, asks me all the symptoms related to my condition in addition to asking if I have any other types of problems. He also answers any questions in as much detail as I want. He has genuine concern for me and his patients and I trust his judgements concerning my treatment schedule and needs.

Caring

Dr Yasenchak is a truly caring person. I missed going with my wife to her appointments and Dr, Yasenchak asked why, as I had been at every appointment for the last eleven years. My wife explained the medical issues I was having and what was being done. Dr Yasenchack called and talked with me in regards to what was my current treatment plan . After our conversation, Dr Yasenchak ordered blood work and called me as soon as he received the results. He stressed the importance of me going to hospital immediately for more extensive tests. If it had not been for Dr, Yasenchak's concern I most likely would not have survived. Thank you for a doctor that truly cares.

First-rate medical treatment for leukemia
Dr. Yasenchak became my oncologist while I was at Peace Health Hospital in Eugene, OR being treated for a life-threatening increase in my potassium level due to an apparent bone marrow malfunction. He diagnosed the problem as a form of leukemia and developed a therapy-plan to reduce bone marrow malfunction and to move my platelet-levels back into the normal range. The plan was successful but required close follow-up to insure that the bone marrow functioning would stabilize in the normal range. He scheduled frequent blood tests and consultations with me to explain the progress of the treatment in terms of achieving a normal level of bone marrow functioning. He has adjusted the level and scheduling of my medication in light of the frequent blood tests. The bone marrow functioning and my platelet levels have now moved to the normal range so that I have more energy and stamina than I did before this treatment. Dr. Yasenchak continues to monitor my progress & refine my medication level

I feel very safe in his care
Dr. Yasenchak listens to my concerns and respects them. He explains things in as much detail as I want, without condescension. I love that he makes me feel like we're on the same team, and he really cares about my health. I'm in the remission follow-up stage, so visits are straightforward, and typical of what I've experienced with other oncologists. I especially like that the lab work is drawn and analyzed just before I see him, so that all info. can be reviewed with me during my visit.
