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.

He is a wonderful Dr and explains things to where I can understand, very personable and I would highly recommend

Highly Skilled, Professional & Caring Surgeon
Follow up visit, new issue on left hand and positive comments about Dr. Daniel R. Yanicko, Jr. & staff Dr. Yanicko is such an excellent surgeon who always provides exceptional care and puts his patients first. He listens to my problems and treats me with professional courtesy. He is very knowledgeable and does whatever it takes to help his patients needs. I had a proximal humerus fracture, he operated on me and words cannot describe how greatful I am with him. Dr. Yanicko is a highly skilled Surgeon; he did an amazing job with my surgery. He has gifted hands.My latest visit was a follow up visit to find out how my right shoulder was doing but he also treated me for a new problem on my left hand. I am also very pleased with the team of professionals who work at Lake Cumberland Orthopedics.

We were impressed with with Dr. Yanick's knowledge and plan of treatment. It was obvious that he had read my health records because he had recommendations addressing other issue. I feel confident that he will be able to help me.

Good doctor
I like his straight forward talk. Most doctors are not honest, we want them to be .Do they think we cann't handle bad news. Not knowing is bad also. This is what I like about this doctor. If something is wrong he will say so. Not beat around the bush.

I would recommend him to all my friends and family
Visit was great. Wait time was quite long, but Dr. Yanicko spends time with his patients. I’d much rather be part of that than to worry about the wait. He explains everything and is very pleasant to talk with. I really appreciate him AND his staff.
