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. Yimer is kind, very knowledgable, never is in a hurry, and answers questions with patience. he is an excellent clinician.

A Time for Heroes
From the first visit Dr Yimer instilled me with confidence and hope. He was candid but caring and I felt he viewed me as a person and not just a patient. He was patient and obviously extremely knowledgeable and took time to ask my questions and answered in an understandable and meaningful manner. I view him as a gift at a time I sorely needed one and still do. In my opinion, you couldn’t do better.
