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.

Thorough & helpful.

Excellent 1st Visit
Dr. Yager is professional snd compassionate. His referral to a specialist in another city was not unexpected and supports my assessment that he was committed to the best care possible. THANKS.

Shoulder pain
Discussed an old surgery injury, different surgeon, and he immediately gave injection. It has helped after day one. MRI will follow.

Trusted Expert
Sadly this will be my second knee repair with Dr. Yager. First time ACL repair on right knee with excellent results. Now the left has suffered damage through accident. Nobody else I would trust in for the repairs. Dr. Yager is excellent, a true professional with a great rapport with this patient. A plus surgeon.

Visit for knee pain and arthritis
Dr Yager was extremely understanding of my condition and treatment options. His recommendation for treatment has been fantastic and the results are better than I expected. His assistant Kristin was also very knowledgeable, explaining the procedure and what to expect from the treatment. I highly recommend this team to anyone suffering from knee pain.

Very happy!
Dr. Yager has been wonderful! He performed the necessary surgery to repair my torn ACL several months ago. The procedure was smooth and I have been fortunate to have an easy recovery! He did a fantastic job and has been great to work with throughout the entire recovery process, as well. He is very knowledgeable, sincere, honest and patient, taking the time to answer all of my silly questions and always ensuring my progress is on track! I highly recommend him as a surgeon.

Great
Excellent. Thorough diagnosis and at explaining all options. Great personal staff (assistant). The only complaint is with the general practice where nobody ever answers the phone and has everything left as voicemail. This can slow things down like the process of getting an MRI

Excellent Doctor
This is the second visit I had with Dr. Yager about something totally different. I previously had shoulder surgery by Dr. Yager. He did a great job and explained everything in detail that he did. Now, I come to him about my clavicle. He's taking the first steps to find out why my clavicle is like it is. I really like Dr. Yager as he goes in depth to find out what's going on with you.

My injury was misdiagnosed from another facility leaving me with doubt of proper diagnosis. Dr Yager identified the injury quickly which put me to ease.

I went to see Dr. Yager about my knee. He listened to my concerns and throughly examined my knee to find the cause of the problem. He told me his thoughts and then I scheduled an MRI to confirm. From there we will talk about next steps.I appreciate how Dr. Yager took the time to listen and let me know what happens next.

Met Dr Yager @ Olathe Med on 2/8 when he kindly fixed my broken tibia and fibula. Then on 4/9 to fix my elbow, that was part of my fall. He is kind, adorable and has great bedside manors. Highly recommend ??
