Dr. York is very knowledgeable, professional and personable. He listens to me and answers my questions. He is a wonderful physician and I have known him since 2013 when I shattered my leg and ankle. He performed surgery and treated me during that time and my experience was 100% perfect. His quality of caring and care he provides are the same today, and I know that I can count on him as I continue to age. In fact he told me so. A very special human being and physician.
