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 Yates diagnosed me with multiple myeloma after 9 other Drs misdiagnosed me and just gave me medicine that didn't help. Dr Yates told me the day we met that he knew what was wrong with me and that he would help me to have a better quality of life. He treated me with my first infusions that day and worked to get the terrible pain I was in under control. He further assisted in getting me lined up for 2 transplants to slow the progression of my disease. That was 6 yrs ago. Dr Yates is no longer my Dr but he is friend and cared for his patients like I have never seen . I miss him everyday. My Dr, my friend and my brother in Christ. You are loved and missed.

Dr. Yates took the time to explain my options for my treatment. He not only explained but also made sure that I understood what he had said. Many doctors will tell you what’s wrong, but don’t make sure you fully comprehend all facets of your condition and treatment. Dr. Yates is extremely engaging and doesn’t talk down to his patients.

Dr. Yates took over my sister's cancer case when her present oncologist moved away. I found Dr. Yates to be very professional in his knowledge and skills and interactions with my sister and me since I was made her healthcare power of attorney. My sister's condition had already reached stage IV when she started oncology treatment. Dr. Yates has a great command of memory and compassion for his patients and I found him to be great to work with since I am a professional too. I really thank him.
