Dr. Yanik is absolutely amazing, not once but twice now has he been an answer to my prayers
Dr Yanik is amazing! I’m so grateful to have him as my doctor. So bright, so articulate, so inviting, comforting! Made my choices clear and easy to make! It’s a blessing to break your wrist if you can be in his care. Kathi
Patient. Compassionate. Attentive. Informative. Doesn't rush you but makes effective use of appointment time. Excellent customer service. I'm not sure if Josh is his normal assistant but Josh was also amazing as well. Highly recommend.
Dr Yanik helped my elderly husband heal from a fractured elbow. He knew exactly what type of care was needed at every step. He is compassionate and brilliant. We’re very fortunate and grateful to be in his care.

Excellent Doctor and His medical assistant is awesome as well.
Excellent physician, great first appointment at this office.
Had apologized to me about being late to my appointment. Had an emergency at the building below but told him he didn't have to apologize as emergencies are important. My hand is already feeling much better. Thanks Dr. Yanik
