I highly recommend Dr Yakes. She has been my provider over the last 4 years and she is amazing! She is very pleasant, listens, shows concern about me and family, remembers little details from conversations during previous visits, and includes me in the decision making process. She follows up promptly to discuss any outstanding lab results. I always look forward to my annual visits with her.
