Patient Reviews
Jul 16, 2023
I was in the hospital for an angiogram when it was discovered that I had a blocked artery. Dr. Yankey was called in and operated within a few hours of the discovery. He performed a double bypass with NO complications. I have improved steadily since the surgery and have returned to my old self. I believe him to be a gifted and skilled surgeon and I consider myself to be fortunate that he performed the surgery.
