Dr. Yavitz genuinely is amazing. The other doctors I've seen over my issue were very dismissive and did not provide any good information or treatment advice. Dr. Yavitz listened to all my concerns, at no point did I feel rushed and he genuinely seemed to care about me and that meant a lot. Other doctors have treated me like I'm a scumbag for smoking and are a waste of their time, I didn't feel like that here at all. He acknowledged we are humans and make mistakes, let's work on the now. He ordered the test that would ease my mind and helped me get a different prescription that'll hopefully provide some relief. Even if it doesn't I'm glad he listened and is trying. Thank you so much.
