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 Yeakley has no business working in the medical field. He is a terrible communicator and a ridiculous Doctor. He is so rude and I would NEVER want anyone to experience what we did. Because we asked to be discharged after we were greatly insulted - he added three more layers of Dr's and test so we could not get discharged due to AMA. Funny thing is - we sat and had all the tests ran and he never even gave us the results. Truly the worst Dr. I have ever encountered. If you see him in the ER - ask for a different DR immediately.....

I was seen by the doctor at St. Luke's Meridian ER for a brain injury. He explained the final results. He was kind, very intelligent, but adept at giving user-friendly, understandable information to his patients. The ER was busy that night, but he gave me a generous amount of time to answer all my questions. Great doctor! I am so thankful for his astute assessment and correct referrals for specialists for my brain injury rehabilitation. He absolutely put my needs first and genuinely cared about me.

Dr. Yeakley was the most caring ER doctor I have ever met!! He was knowledgeable and kind. He made our experience at the ER pleasant. I have lived in many big cities and have never received the kind of quality care as I have here. This job has got to be tough with the stress load and yet Dr. Yeakley made us feel he would give us all the time in the world. I would definitely go back to St. Luke's and specifically ask for him. I would absolutely recommend him to any of my friends or family members.

When I declined a procedure for my wife because I felt it was unnecessary, he said that I would need to sign a form indicating so and that I would be responsible if she were to die. He said this in a way I felt was unprofessional. As we prepared to leave I asked about medication for the fluid in her lungs (reason we were sent to the ER originally) and the nurse informed us the Dr. said she did not have pneumonia so no medicine is prescribed. Does not like having his med. opinion questioned.
