Walked to the exam room, immediately questioned by nurse & then told the Dr would be in in about 15 minutes. He arrived within 10 minutes. Dr Yocom has always taken time to address all my concerns & discuss a plan of care. I could not be more pleased with his care & consider myself lucky to have been referred to him for back surgery. Would definitely recommend him to family & friends.
