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.

She was a hour and half late, with no apology. Do not use her, she will prescribed and scary you into tests. My daughter lost her innocents by going to the Hospital. Sad, we went to and got a second opinion and I'm glad. He said, she didn't have to do these tests for a small cyst. Shame on you.

Very condescending and rude. She has no disregard for other people's schedules. If things are not done her way they are, in her mind, wrong and she will laugh in your face if she doesn't agree.

Been visiting Dr. Yates for more than two years and until recently she scheduled me for appointments every month. When scheduling, she was always careful to make Medicare acceptance a priority which on the one hand benefits me... and likely benefits her as well. On my last visit I waited a full 1 1/2 hours to be seen. Unacceptable. Most of the time I have to wait in excess of 1/2 hour.
