I had been dubious about going to immediate care for my concern because I didn't think they could do much to help me. But after waiting 6 weeks to see the doctor only to find out she was now out of network, I had to try something to resolve the endless pain I was in. James Yanke listened to me and was compassionate and empathetic. I didn't feel like I was wasting his time. He was thorough and thoughtful in his care plan, took the time to explain everything completely and then provided not only a referral to orthopedics but a solution to the incessant pain I'd been experiencing since the beginning of December. Last night was the first time I slept without waking up every 2 hours due to the pain! I am thrilled to be able to do something as simple as walk my dog without grimacing at every step. I'm confident I will be able to get back to my regular life even as I wait to see the specialist. And that is due to Jim's excellent care.

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care.
