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.

He’s an excellent and thorough doctor.
Dr. Yakubov takes great care of his patients and is a great listener and wonderful communicator too. He thoroughly checks me and be sure I’m up to date w all my shots too.

I COULD BE DEAD!
I had an appt with Dr. Yakubov in February. I had a scheduled appt. The doctor was running 2 hours behind with 6 people in the waiting area. I decided to reschedule my appt for another day. Prior to my next appt, I started experiencing some issues related to High glucose level. I left several messages on My Chart and also called the office and spoke with the assistant. That was roughly 4 weeks ago. I NEVER received a call back from anyone. I had to take matters into my own hands and locate another PCP. My former PCP (Dr. Thomas Moore) retired. He was an amazing doctor. I will NEVER return to this practice. The staff is rude wait ridiculous. This practice should be shut down and re-opened with a competent staff.

Bad
Doesn’t answer messages, doesn’t do telehealth appointments even though he takes them and then cancels. Constantly cancels appointments, I have had mine cancelled everytime for the past 2 years! It’s not just happening to me, it is happening to my friend. Doesn’t put in bloodwork when requested. Will make you come into the office to read you your vitamin results! When that can simply be done over the phone, then said it was sensitive. I have had more sensitive results over the phone, so that also felt like a lie. It just seems like he needs an office visit for anything you ask, makes me feel like it’s just to charge the insurance.

Competent but fast
Dr. Yakubov will do the job, but to me it seemed like a rather prickly personality. It all felt a bit like an assembly line, and I get that that's more so the fault of the administration scheduling things tightly than the doctor themself. Overall a perfectly serviceable professional. If you want a no nonsense doctor that's in and out in no time fast Dr. Yakubov is the one. For me it didn't feel right.

Quick and thorough -- checks everything. No bedside manner, but totally unnecessary. Efficient -- Makes sure that you are totally checked out.

On the three occasions I have seen Dr. Yakubov he has been thorough and thoughtful. He listens carefully to my concerns and goes to great lengths to elicit from me all necessary information in order to provide the best possible care. He at once puts me at ease and he has a wonderful “bedside manner.”

I found this doctor a bit cold and quick on the trigger. The worst part was that I just didn't feel heard. It's been a long time since I felt a doctor was already so in his head that he wasn't listening. I tried to refocus him on my health priorities but he was already thinking about tests he wanted to order. I tried one last time to communicate with him but that isn't his strong suit it seems. He just moved way too fast. How can a doctor do a good job if he's awful at listening?

Went to see him a year ago. Essentially Googled a medication that I asked about before he prescribed it. He also did not run the required tests that should be done prior to taking said medication. Was billed for a physical (which the office knew wasn't covered by my insurance) and an office visit, but didn't receive the bill until 6 months later, quickly followed by a letter from a debt collector after having been told it had been taken care of. Do not recommend visiting him.
