Dr. Clyde Yancy’s care is the highest quality experienced at Northwestern Hospital. His care and treatment plans are patient centered, clear and motivating. He speaks from a place of scientific research and clinical expertise. I could not ask for a better experience, particularly given the severity of my life threatening cardiac journey, resulting from COVID 19. I resoundingly recommend Dr. Yancy and feel especially privileged to have him as my cardiologist, whom collaborated with and led the extraordinary cardiac team that saved my life.
