  • Last January I had fallen on the ice and had broken my knee cap. You performed surgery and stitched the bones back together. A year and a half later and I am currently taking taekwondo classes and my knee is doing excellent!

  • Dr Yanke and his staff are very kind, respectful, thoroughly explain test results and procedures and are super clear and informative.

  • Dr. Yanke is approachable, kind and gentle. Staff is courteous, reasonable wait time and overall, a positive experience!
