Dr.Yushak is great. She's smart. She always has a thorough understanding of my current test results and always has recommendations If the scans reveal something noteworthy. She answers my questions. When I asked her where I could find more information about a particular issue, she made reference to a medical journal. She explained how to search for articles in that journal and that article in particular. She's the best. She listens quite well and she's smart as a whip! Few doctors exhibit both qualities as well as Dr. Yushak! |

Doctor's question was if I had reviewed my test results on My Chart. I had and thought results looked good. Think better approach would have been for her to explain to me results then ask if I had any questions. Felt I was responsible for diagnosis. |
