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.

I'VE BEEN A PATIENT OF DR. YATES FOR MANY YEARS. I WAS REFERRED TO HIM BY DR. VENTURINI. WHO WAS ANOTHER FANTASTIC DR. DR. YATES IS VERY COMPASSIONATE AND ALWAYS CONCERNED ABOUT MY SINUS PROBLEMS.

He misdiagnosed my 2 year old daughter. Also, I was extremely uncomfortable when sitting with my daughter in the exam chair as he positioned his body against mine in a very unprofessional and uncomfortable manner!

Worst ear nose and throat doctor in Modesto. He misdiagnoses people and wants to be paid for it. He also rushes in and out of the patients appointment! Please go to a different doctor or else you will be stuck with a headache dealing with this doctor and shutter health is a horrible company as well. They do not care about the people they serve nor they listen about the bad doctors they represent!
