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.

2019 I had a heart attack. Dr. Yarkoni placed a Stent in LAD artery. He was very thorough in explaining everything. Super friendly. I never feel rushed during appointments. He takes time to listen and come up with a treatment plan. I feel very fortunate to have Dr. Yarkoni as my Cardiologist.

I have great confidence in Dr Yarconi. All my experience before, during and since my TAVR have been positive. He is efficient ,highly competent and a man of few words. During the process he and his staff delivered high quality care. Stu

While my cardio problem has incapacitated me and a diagnosis is 4 years now elusive, Dr Yarkoni: brushed off my questions, talked over me, provided extremely poor patient rapport, declined viewing independent data I gathered, failed to give me an Updated ECG during my appointment (previous one 3 months ago, and I mentioned my condition has deteriorated), FAILED to discuss previous testing results showing ongoing relevant ECG aberrations, and repeated “I’m sorry” many times in my presence instead of asking questions regarding how I felt, what was new, was I deteriorating, would I be interested in different additional testing and essentially showed zero interest from start to finish of our meeting in trying to pursue different avenues in helping me solve a complex problem. If I could give him no star, I would. My ‘heart issue’ has virtually confined me to my house, yet Dr Yarkoni could not end our visit fast enough. He lacks imagination, empathy, and sincere interest patients welfare.

I am extremely unhappy with Dr. Yarkoni. Frankly, I found him beyond terrible. I had an appointment with him on 02/12/2021. I needed advice on how to get weaned off of a medication that an endocrinologist put me on. I changed doctors and unfortunately the new endocrinologist had no clue how to do that. The new endocrinologist said "see a cardiologist". I do not have any heart problems. Dr. Yarkoni's communication skills were severely lacking. He had absolutely no interest in whatever I attempted to say. When I did try to make a comment or ask a question, his feedback to me was ALWAYS very negative. He spent ninety percent of the appointment with his face glued to his laptop. I felt like nothing more than a number. I was scheduled for a Transthoracic Echo test. The test was done on 03/01/2021. The test results were normal, I do not have ANY heart problems! But, I already knew that. At seventy-three I am still "fit as a fiddle". I felt totally disrespected by Dr. Yarkoni.

very helpful. people need to understand that these doctors are busy people and they don’t have 800 hours to spend with one patient. I work in a non-related health field and reading reviews about doctors not having enough time with patients is frustrating. to me the proof is in the OR and when your loved one comes home feeling better. And looking better. thank you dr Yarkoni.

He was nice. My Father needed a cauterization. We were not sure what that meant. Doc explained everything to us clearly. Also changed our medicines that were prescribed from another doctor because they were not the most up to date on diabetes and high blood pressure. Over all our health much better. Thank you.

He was very attentive, listened to all of my concerns and addressed each of them. I did not feel rushed, I felt cared for. Dr. Yarkoni made eye contact with me when listening to me and when speaking to me and always let me finish speaking before responding. Explained everything clearly and gave me options. Highly recommend him!

DL in NY – Jan 01, 2019

Went for yearly follow up. He looked right at me and asked why I was there? They did an EKG in office but did not discuss that everything was okay. Why was I on Ezitimbe? Because he prescribed it! Why was that? Initial Statin drug elevated liver levels. He checked off all the boxes like he had looked into my eyes, looked at the conjunctiva (whites), never happened. He might be a great surgeon, I do not know, I do not need one. He turfed me off to a nurse practitioner for next year, $25 copay.

My mother was referred to Dr. Yarkoni for her valve condition. While everyone else said there is nothing to do, Dr. Yarkoni took the time to explain her condition and reviewed all our options. He was caring thoughtful and thorough. My mother is doing so much better now that her valve problem is all fixed. Nice office and friendly staff, would recommend to others

I have overweight health concerns and I went in to see Dr. Yarkoni because my primary doctor told me to check in with a cardiologist. Dr. Yarkoni suggested a lifestyle change in terms of how I eat and exercise which was too much or not enough. He suggested small, simple changes which would help me have more energy and feel better. I am thankful for his guidance and encouraging words. I lost 18 pounds so far my diabetes is more manageable and my heart doesn't feel that painful sharp pressure. Kim

I went in to see Dr. Yarkoni, from a referral from our general cardiologist,with my mother who was complaining of chest pain. Dr. Yarkoni took the time to explain everything that was going on with my mother, including her medications which needed to be readjusted. He changed her medication and arranged a catherization for her for 3 months later. My mom is feeling much better and doing great. Thank You Dr. Yarkoni. Excellent service & outcome. Very patient and understanding and thorough.

I was highly dissatisfied with Dr. Yarkoni. I had only seen him once, so he was't really familiar with my medical history. My reson for going was to get medical clearance for a hip surgery the following Mnday. I had an irregular EKG and he immediately stated I had a heart attack at one point. He sent me for an Echo Cardiogram and made no other comments. I had the Echo done that same day and then went to my appointment with my orthopedic surgeon. He asked if i picked up the Beta Blocker
