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.

Total Knee Replacement
My experience with Dr. Yarbrough and his staff has been excellent. They responded quickly to any inquiries that I had. They were always positive and I felt well cared for. I especially appreciated their approach leading up to and post surgery. Cautious and conservative concerning various alternatives to treatment plans. I never felt as if I was ushered into a particular procedure or treatment without first evaluating outcomes and risk. Special call out to Karri who has been prompt with any questions providing easy to understand and specific answers. Dr. Yarbrough is a caring individual who takes pride in providing first class service. From a patient standpoint, I never felt rushed during the initial consultation nor did I during followup appointments. If asked if I would do it all over again with Dr. Yarbrough I would unequivocally say yes.

Would give 10 starts if I could
First, I was treated like family from the reception staff through to the surgical staff. The entire experience was focused on my comfort, both mentally and physically!

Dr. Yarbrough listens to his patients first, makes you feel like you are the most important “item” on his agenda at that time. Also he is very knowledgeable and is prepared to help immediately. Highly recommend. All the staff in his office are AAA. I have been his knee patient for more than 5 years

Wonderful surgeon!
Dr. Yarbrough was my surgeon for a total hip replacement. His anterior approach resulted in a speedy recovery ! He is thoughtful and attentive towards the patient and his staff are equally as competent. They are very responsive to patient questions and concerns. I would highly recommend him for your surgical needs.

My experience with Dr. Yarbrough was excellent. Before surgery, Dr. Yarbrough explained in great detail what would happen during and after surgery. His detailed explanation was on point, enabling me to carry on through the initial recovery with confidence and success. The follow-up visit was thorough and he answered all my questions and more. Following his guidance after surgery has helped to thorough the post-op recuperation. Now that a month has passed, I am now beginning to return to pre-surgery activities without pain or discomfort. I feel fortunate to have Dr. Yarbrough as my physician throughout this process.
