I had an appointment with Dr. Baris Yildirim on 10/14/24, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. From the moment I walked in, Dr. Yildirim and his team were warm, welcoming, and highly professional. Dr. Yon took the time to thoroughly explain my condition and treatment options, answering all my questions with patience and clarity. His expertise and genuine care put me at ease immediately. I highly recommend Dr. Yoder to anyone seeking an orthopedic specialist. His knowledge, professionalism, and compassionate approach, make him stand out as an exceptional doctor.

Dr. Yildirim could not have been more insightful and professional. I brought in my 82-year-old mother with a shoulder injury and he was kind informative and understanding. It's been some time that I've run into incredibly caring Doctor who really listens and understands the needs of his patients. This was incredibly wonderful experience. I highly recommend Dr. Yildirim.
