Dr. Georges Yacoub, MD

My spouse would have died in his 'care' at Kindred Hospital Dayton after a major stroke, after 62 days in a local ICU. Spouse would have succumbed to undiagnosed or treated sepsis, pneumonia, e coli, candida and UTI. In and out in 60 seconds, on days he showed up. Never came within 4 feet of my spouse at Kindred. Petulant and demeaning to nurses, staff, his PA, and myself. Had to be discharged to MVH Neuro ICU, they immediately diagnosed and cured infections in 9 days. Transferred spouse to a different LTACH in Columbus after MVH. After 7 months in many hospitals and rehab facilities, spouse miraculously came home in late June, is thriving and trying to walk again after 5 brain surgeries and surviving Dr. Yacoub. Kindred nurses, administration and staff were wonderful. Hundreds of doctors, nurses, etc. over 7 months in many facilities, never encountered anything remotely similar to this doctor. He should not be permitted to practice. He probably doesn't remember or care.

My Dr. was supposedly moved to another office. I was seeing a Dr. for my aortic implant aftercare. It has been about 10 years, and I'm doing ok. Not sure WHY they suddenly sent me to him. Anyway, I was in and out within about 5/10 minutes. I WAS asked if anything was bothering me. It was the QUICKEST Dr.s appt I have EVER had. Still not sure if it was a good or bad experience..... I did not really have anything to talk to him about. Guess I'll worry about that NEXT time. If I have any problems I need addressed, and they are not, I will DEFINITELY revise my review.

My breathing doctor, Dr Yacoub, is the absolute best! He and his staff are very kind and caring about each and every one of the patients they see every day. They treat me with respect and truly listen to what I have going on. I love this Dr and his nurse...without them I would not have survived all that I have been through.

Saved my life

He seemed more interested in getting us out of there than he was in listening to my mother and what her needs are. Bedside manner is awful. Seems to think COPD is a death sentence and make no real effort to increase quality of life. Rather it is almost as if he wants to punish the person for getting COPD in the first place.

Very quick appt. but he helped me get a new CPAP machine where it took others 3 appts. or more and got nothing done. He was very helpful. His staff out front were average.

I have always found Dr Yacoub to be very caring. If you have to wait did you ever consider he has more than one patient, he is through and doesn’t need a long time to diagnose most situations because he is so well versed and experienced, he is not there to make friends but to give you competent diagnosis, . I have found him to be very caring even through he doesn’t spend time making friends. His nurse ask questions and fills him in before he sees you. That’s sufficient enough for me.

Horrible!! He gives you 3 minutes and after the first minute he’s heading toward door. Wait time is at least an hour, different staff every time. Called his office 4 times and no answer. Office answering machine still states they are open Friday’s... they are not. Definitely ISO a new provider. They money you pay for a specialist and this is the best they have to offer?

Dr. Yacoub seems to be a pretty knowledgeable and nice guy but the office and nursing staff are a mess. They are very rude both in person and on the phone. What an awful experience.

If and when his totally incompetent, rude and uncaring nurse and staff get around to answering the phone, setting an appointment, or Checking on insurance- he appears to be a somewhat competent doctor. However- the chances of getting through his staff to get an appointment is slim and none. Horrible, awful, frustrating experience that extended for weeks.

I don’t respect a doctors office that doesn’t try their hardest to help a patient. Especially since the doctor himself told the patient they didn’t have to worry about Rx until they found another doctor in their area. The receptionist and nurse had no empathy. When told about the situation that probably didn’t even ask the doctor. So no I wouldn’t recommend this office, mainly do to front office staff and nurse.

I don't know if my experience is typical but it took a month to get any information back on my sleep study. Dr seems nice enough but this is the slowest doctor's office I have EVER been to. It seems like they schedule ten people for your same appt time. I waited for 45 or so minutes then I saw the doctor for about 1 minute so he could tell me I was fine. I'm not sure why I even had to come in for that.

He's very patient and caring. Very impressed. Was referred by a nurse friend of mine. Glad I came here.

I am very happy with the care that I have received from Dr. Yacoub. He is open straight forward and honest.

Fantastic Doctor, very caring, personal, compassionate, intelligent. Has been my doctor 10 years, I will not change doctors he is superb.
