5.0 star star star star starDr. Yavitz is an excellent physician who takes the time to discuss my health issues with me. His treatment plans are thoughtful; he doesn’t hesitate to get consults when necessary. Quite remarkably he takes the time to explain why he prescribes a particular test and explains it’s findings. If he prescribes a particular medication or treatment, he explains what it is and how to maximize its effectiveness.

5.0 star star star star starThis doctor is absolutely wonderful! He was well prepared for our first visit as it was obvious he took the time to study my medical history prior to our appointment. I’m going through a very tough time in my medical journey right now and he offered caring assurances and treated me like a person not just a patient or a number. Super thorough and knowledgeable. I wish all doctors could be this way.

5.0 star star star star starHe was a good listener, very thorough, explained things well and offered options for better management. Also made a point of telling me to use My Chart with any questions or problems. Not in a hurry.

5.0 star star star star starDr. Yavitz is my elderly mother’s pulmonologist & is currently monitoring her lung disease. He is the perfect combination of knowledge & compassion. Knowledge: he showed us comparison lung cat scans & clearly & patiently explained any changes between time periods. He listened carefully & answered our numerous questions re: treatment options and side effects. Compassion: He shared his knowledge of the disease with kindness & understanding of how difficult the decision to treat or not can be for the elderly. Ultimately, it is our decision. However, we could not be armed with better information than from Dr. Yavitz who we feel truly cares for my mother.
