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.

Very impresssed
We have been very impressed with Dr Yacabucci and his office staff. Matt his PA is wonderful and takes all the time needed to answer questions and explain next steps. We have been treated with respect on every visit. His office staff is friendly and great at answering our multiple questions. My husbands surgery came off without a hitch and his postop recovery has been flawless. We would recommend Dr Yacabucci without question.

Highly Experienced AND Exudes Confidence
After a Banner orthopedic (hip) surgeon recommended two different surgeons for addressing my shoulder injury, I did some investigating and didn't like the reviews for these guys. So after some study on my part, I came across Dr. Yaccobucci and it sure paid off. If it's your shoulder, this is the man you want to see! And if you're one of those few people that take a true, in-depth interest in your condition (instead of just getting it fixed and leaving it at that), be sure to ask him detailed questions - he's more than happy to get technical with you. He fixed both my supraspinatus and long head bicep tendons that had torn from the bone and after 4 months I'm well on my way to recovery. I won't ever have the same range of motion I once did, but that comes with snipping-off the ragged ends of torn shoulder tendons. Trust me, you won't be sorry with Dr. Yaccobicci's care and expertise.

Dr Yacobucci gave me my life back. I was an avid hiker, and devastated by an ACL injury. I was able to get back to my sport in record time post surgery. His compassion was equally amazing

I am a retired surgical device sales rep, so I have the means to identify the best surgeons in Phoenix to address my knee osteoarthritis. I chose Dr. Yaccobucci. He is a very competent physician with outstanding interpersonal skills. He always recommends a conservative approach and never pushes surgery as a rat option. I would highly recommend him.
