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.

Dr Yeilding saved the life of my adopted son(grandson). His appendix had ruptured when Dr. Yeilding stepped in! Did I mention this was 3 am! Not only is she a very knowledgeable physician but a laid back conversationalist. She is the best. I hope I never need her services, but if I do…. She’s my go to!!

Love Dr. Yielding. She goes over and beyond for her patients. She has helped me in so many ways with issues that weren’t even related to what I was seeing her for. Not only does she go over and beyond but she explains everything so you understand it and has never rushed through an appointment. I love her !!! Her staff is just as friendly and helpful!!

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Yeilding; she is warm, comforting, caring and with a good sense of humor and easy to talk to style! She has a wonderful bedside manner, actually truly listens to everything you say and never makes you feel rushed; explains everything in detail and also always asks if there is anything else you want to ask her. She is an amazing physician/surgeon/person; and I had complete confidence/faith in her from the first moments I met her.
