I actually did not see Dr Yakoob but had a pulmonary Function Test and blood work for a visit with Dr Yakoob next week. The tech who did the PFT was awesome and the tech who drew the blood was good.

Dr. Yakoob is the best, he is caring, kind and professional. What I love the most is there is a partnership between Dr and patient. He recommends, lets you research and make a decision. Never forcing, only makes you aware what is available.

At my last visit I felt like I was scolded for what sounded to me that I was abusing my pain medications. This being after my apnea got worse. I didn't even get an opportunity to discuss.

What a wonderful doctor he is! Best in class he listens. He’s concerned he talks with you instead of at you. A really really appreciate this doctor. I can’t thank him enough for taking care of me.
