I've been seeing Dr Yonan for debilitating back pain, he's been great, not one to dispense just a drug and send you on the way but to control my problem achieving better health and mobility. I've received steroid injections, therapy and maintenance medication has greatly helped my situation n I'm able to walk and move having greater mobility Dr Yonan has been sincere in getting me back to a normal life

I just moved to this area and was referred to Dr. Yonan I waited 2 hours in the waiting room and 1 hour in a room. This Doctors refused to help me the minute I told him I did not have insurance. I am currently on pain medication and asked for his help he stated He didn't know how things were done in the south (I lived by Columbus Oh) but it wasn't the same here?????My Husband just passed and the Doctor had the nerve to ask I'd he took pain medication. I was discriminated against!

He doesn't spend much time to listen ,he is in and out. I've been a patient since 2012 and with chronic back pain . There's time he ask what is wrong and forgets what hes treating and says I won't get any better with pain,but wants to cut back on meds rather than try an alternative course of care. Not very sympathetic.

I was referred to Dr. Yonan for pain management after weeks of PT for sciatic pain did little to ease the pain. Finally, a doctor who used models and drew pictures to thoroughly explain the reason for my pain! Dr. Yonan administered two shots in my back and suggested a regimen of exercise to strengthen my core . Prior to seeing him, an hour in the car was agonizing, but following his recommendations, I was able to take a 1600 mile road trip pain free. I highly recommend Dr. Yonan.

Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Yonan?
I was appalled at the way that I was treated by this man, not doctor, man. The condition that I have is very rare. He said he had never heard of it. After telling my neurologist about this he said that all doctors have a certain book that they generally keep handy which they can use to look up any and all conditions. He never even bothered, he could have even just googled it. He would ask me questions then cut me off in the middle of answers. I would not recommend him even to treat a dog.

He spends time with you and likes if the spouse or a family member comes in. He looks into options that are best for you other than medication. From experience medication is not the answer for pain when there is other options. He helped get that option and it's going well. He's caring.

Terrible place to go for treatment of any kind. This guy is rude and dismissive of patients and can be heard embarrassing other patients throughout the office. Big mistake to see this guy.

I have never had such a comprehensive background taken as I did here. Not only that, but Dr. Yonan actually referred to it as we discussed my pain, goals, and needs. He spent over an hour and a half with me devising a plan to best address the multiple symptoms of my fibro and bursitis. He was professional, caring, and in tune to the psychological effects of the pain I have been suffering. I feel I now have a plan I can stick to for the best results.

I began to see Dr YONAN by recommendation from my PCP. I was in so much pain that I had begun to lose hope. Dr YONAN listened carefully to my concerns and assured me that there was help available. And that together, we would find workable solutions. He found many and I will be forever grateful. I'm not cured... But I can function. I would recommend him and have .... Many times over. My husband now sees him also, Although he was sent somewhere else originally. Thank You Dr Yonan
