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.

disappointed
i saw dr yunkin throughout my whole pregnancy. addressed issues i was having with migraine after delivery. he told me he would try a medicine if it didn't help he would see if it was a spinal leak then fix it, also was told they'd refer me to a neurologist and order a CT scan on head. never did either of them. i called almost every day for 2 months and they NEVER got back to me. later confirmed by 3 other doctors it was a spinal fluid leak. saw a new obgyn with SIU told him about my experience and then randomly got a call from younkins office 6 months later... i've never felt so awful and so alone in my life. completed ghosted and left to battle the health problems by myself. 4 gynos, a neurologist, and my primary doctor later i finally found people that will listen to me.

Dr Younkin has been my Doctor since 1989. He always listens to my concerns and will do whatever it takes to address any issue I may have. He is very thorough and takes his time during my visits, so I can talk to him without feeling rushed. I recommend him to everyone as a trusted physician.

I’ve worked with doctors for 25 years- Dr Younkin is absolutely one of the best. He not only knows his profession as a practicing ob-gyn and as a teacher to residents, but just as important he listens to his patients, he genuinely cares, he took my concerns into consideration and went the extra distance to accommodate my needs and preferences. Here’s all you need to know: He gives you his personal cell phone number and RESPONDS when you text with a question or concern!! Amazing and unheard of!!
