Wow, just wow! I can honestly say I have never left a doctor’s appointment feeling more frustrated, confused, gaslit or angry than I did yesterday. My pre-op appointment was spent debating with the doctor whether or not I needed a hysterectomy. My PREOP appointment! That feels like a conversation that should have already happened. Dr. York has absolutely zero bedside manner and his arrogance is astounding. He clearly hadn’t looked at my file prior to entering the room with me. He then proceeded to listen while providing a rebuttal for every one of my symptoms. Despite me having already been offered a hysterectomy from another doctor 3 years prior and meeting with one of his own nurse practitioners just a few weeks ago who also agreed that a hysterectomy could alleviate some of my concerns. Then he did a pelvic exam. Upon returning to the room it was as if someone flipped a switch and he was onboard with surgery. He started asking me if I wanted my ovaries taken out and when I said I wasn’t sure if that was needed, as his NP said it wouldn’t be because I’m post menopausal. He said that he “wouldn’t trust her advice. After all, she’s young and has only been in his practice for a year”. When I probed further about additional healing time or possible incisions, he said there wouldn’t be any, that “in fact I wouldn’t even know if he had removed them without my knowledge.” But that he “wouldn't do that, because that would be unethical.” When I told him I wasn’t sure what would solve my issues (endometriosis, cysts on ovaries, growing uterus, lower abdominal pain, bleeding post-menopause, prolapse, frequent urination, lower back pain) but that a urologist I recently visited, a prior OBGYN doctor and his own nurse practitioner had all agreed that removing my tilted uterus might help, he apparently had a change of heart or at least no longer felt it was unnecessary. Upon questioning him further regarding his change in opinion, he stated that he didn’t have adequate notes at the beginning of the meeting, but now felt after speaking with me that perhaps a hysterectomy might help. But despite his resistance in the beginning and my admission that I wasn’t sure what the best solution might be, he gave no other suggestion just proceeded with filling out the consent for surgery form. Then he went on to say that I better come back 3 weeks after the surgery and tell him it’s the best thing that ever happened to me. Even if it wasn’t, I “better fake it”. I knew then, that this was not a doctor I wanted to allow any opportunity to handle something this significant. I canceled my surgery today. And when I called, the front deck person was like “ok, we got that canceled. bye”. No inquiry as to why. When I asked when I would receive a refund for pre-payment of the surgery she said someone else would call me on Monday. All of the reviews are true, the front desk staff is quite rude. My advice would be to find someone who cares a little more about the women they are meant to be providing solutions for.
Dr York is the Best! He is friendly, personable, easy to talk to, and kind. I have known him since 2006. Thank you!
First appointment with Dr York, as my previous GYN retired, who I saw for my GYN appointments for 30 years. Dr York bed-side manner isn’t good! He was more concerned about how he was going to get paid by Medicare. I never had a problem with Medicare paying my old GYN. He didn’t ask me if I had any concerns. He automatically assumed things that may not be true about my health. He treated me like a set of numbers. He didn’t want to hear what I thought. He also made me feel like I was old and put me in a box. I will not be going back to him or his office.
Professional, and listened intently, providing a plan that I felt comfortable implementing.
I like Dr York. He is very friendly and listened to me.
I highly recommend Dr. York. Highly professional, knowledgeable and a good listener. The office staff are helpful and the offices are very clean and comfortable.

Dr. York is wonderful! He takes time to listen and hear your concerns. He makes you feel comfortable and is very honest and transparent about concerns or issues. He is the most trusted doctor for OB services. I would not go to anyone else.
I wanna say that my experience yesterday with Dr. York was not a pleasant one. I waited on Dr. York roughly 35 minutes after my scheduled appointment time. I was OK with that, but it appeared to me that something must have bothered him prior to entering into my room. When we begin our conversation, every question I asked was met with a rebuttal. I begin to explain to him my previous experience with HRT. I asked him questions about Weight Loss and if hormone diminishing would cause a problem with weight gain. He said no and the resolution to the issues I was experienced was just due begin a1200 cal diet daily. I ask some questions about an ultrasound for my breast exam instead of a mammogram. His response to Me was very derogatory. I decided to just wait until next year to get the mammogram. I didn’t want any additional services from him. I asked him maybe about six questions and every question that I ask was met with a defense. I felt like his bedside manner was very poor. He had a new nurse practitioner that was being trained by him at the present time. I could see the expression on her face and she could see that the visit wasn’t going well. She stood by & just smiled. I hope her Experience will be better than mine. If anyone knows of another gynecologist in Colorado Springs, please let me know. I waited six months for this appointment because my gynecologist retired. He was absolutely amazing and I wish he was still practicing. The only good thing that came out of my visit yesterday is that I was prescribed my testosterone once again. I had to wait for this visit in order to get a new prescription. Hopefully this medication helps me until I’m able to find a new doctor. He wasn’t nice at all. Sign sincerely disappointed.
The people are great here!
Friendly and compassionate. Dr. York always makes me feel comfortable and heard. He takes his time to listen and answer all my questions even though he has other patients waiting . I never feel rushed or like am am just another patient. Well worth the 30 minute drive!
Dr. York was very friendly. He took his time with me and answered all my questions and concerns . I would highly recommend him.
Everyone was very lovely
Great Doctor. Great place and staff.
We love Dr. York! He is very personal and makes you feel seen and makes you feel like family every appointment.
Very understanding, listens to your concerns and makes sure you are satisfied with your care before you leave the office. I would highly recommend Dr York.
Dr. York took his time to explain things. He was not in a hurry and that is much appreciated in any medical setting, especially this one. Thank you Dr. York
Dr York is a great GYN Dr. He is kind and takes the time to ask and answer questions. He never acts like he's in a hurry, and I appreciate his years of experience.
Can’t even explain how amazing Dr. York is…. was very nervous for my IUD and he did it in like 2 minutes and I didn’t even realize he had put it in… Had an amazing experience and am so glad that is over!
Dr York is so kind and professional. He seems to genuinely care the patient’s needs. Very easy to talk to! Answered all my questions and concerns
Excellent patient care and Dr York listened and answered all my questions!
Dr. York is the ONLY provider I have that I truly trust! He listens, asks questions, and treats me with dignity & respect. Dr. York is interested in my total health, not just his specialty. He also treated my prolapse a year ago and I have had no issues and healed well. Women of a “certain age” tend to dismiss their gyn health after menopause. I recommend Dr. York for women of all ages.
Excellent physician with excellent staff. Highly recommended. Beautiful facility, clean, comfortable, easy to find, close parking.
He’s able to effectively communicate and answer questions. I like him.
Very understanding. Very helpful. Made me fill comfortable. Explained situation very well. Thank you.
Dr York listened to my concerns and was sensitive to my problem. Although we have not determined the cause of my issue, I felt that he was knowledgeable and had good suspicions of what the problem could be. He Recommended tests and possible solutions. I felt confident that Dr York would help me and provide me with proper care.
I feel comfortable and confident for surgery after speaking to Dr. York.
Very respectful doctor. Dr York listened and respected my wishes. When he saw me tearing up, he got me to laugh instead, with remaining professional.
This was my first time trying a new gyno, and I couldn’t recommend Dr.York enough! He made me feel so comfortable and he is such a good listener. He took everything I said serious!
Excellent service and staff. Highly recommend this GYN
