Reviews
Dr Yeargan was very professional and informative. Discussed all available treatment options and recommended what was best for my situation, which for me was surgery rather than PRP. I will be using his services later this year for another problem
Dr Yeargan and staff are wonderful !!! A month after my rotator cuff PRP, so far it seems to be healing nicely
Dr Yeargan and his staff were very processional explainning the procedure.

Great Experience
Dr Yeargan is very personable and knew precisely what my issue was and the options to treat it. I would highly recommend him!
Dr yeargan is nice and knowledgeable. He is open to questions, ideas, and it seems like he really wants to help his patients. He explains stuff to you. He is UNLIKE some other doctors who don't listen to you, want to hurry you, and want to push you to surgery. I am glad I did my research and found him.
I always look forward to seeing Dr. Yeargan. He is so knowledgeable, down to earth, and professional at the same time.
Dr. Yeargan is so good. He's really concerned about his patients. He takes time to explain and discuss your issues. He's awesome. I highly recommend him. His entire staff is wonderful!
Dr. Yeargan always gives advice that is best for me, my health and my sport. I trust his diagnosis and opinion more than any doctor I have ever had. I would recommend him with complete assurance you would get the very best care. Diane Harding

The appointment started in a timely manner. Dr. Yeargan was upfront with the diagnosis and explained the possible procedures that could be an option as well as being upfront with out-of-pocket expenses for the procedures. He is personable and professional as well as extremely knowledgeable in his field.
Staff was incredible and I was able to be worked in immediately. Dr Yeargan was extremely knowledgeable and very helpful with my questions and concerns. He spent lot of time with me and did not rush me in order to meet a patient seen quota. Would highly recommend
Dr.Yeargan took time to listen to my problems with my knees
Dr. Yeargan is professional, thorough, patient-centered, welcoming, and kind. The entire team goes the extra mile to meet patient needs, including patient concerns and questions. I needed an evaluation and treatment plan for extreme knee pain and got this in a way that was informative and reassuring. Highly recommend.
Dr. Yeargan is much more than a typical doctor, as he is concerned for your personal condition all-around. Dr. Yeargan has given me hope where other doctors didn't....to be able to continue making a living, as well as hope to get back to my love, surfing. I look forward to being his long-term patient, and appreciate his desire to see me whole again.
Dr. Yeargan is amazing. You might not know by his humble attitude and laid back nature, but he is one of the most knowledgeable regenerative surgeons in the country. When I was doing extensive research for a doctor to help my chronic knee pain, he was referred by people far and wide. Not only that but I was shocked when Doctors at the world-famous Steadman Clinic in Vail Colorado were singing his praises. They literally said that he would be the first person the recommend. As it turns out, he trained at the Steadman Clinic and still confers with the team there regularly. I originally went to him for a stem cell treatment on both knees. He was extremely knowledgeable and took great care to explain everything about the procedure. The day of procedure went very well and the results were amazing. I literally had zero pain for 4 years. I have gone back to Dr. Yeargan for touch up procedures and have even had my 16 year old son drive 4 hours to get a procedure on his torn patella tendon injury from soccer. I would give my highest recommendation and urge anyone thinking about regenerative medicine to call him immediately. He is a class act human and an incredible doctor.
Dr Yeargan has been fantastic! He takes all the time to address any problems you may have & gives the Best treatment & Help. He is absolutely The Best, I Highly recommend him! Glenn Neighbour

He is a great doctor. He listens to your concerns and above all he does not rush you in and out. He takes the time needed to meet you situation. He is very easy to talk to.
Prompt appointment time, very easy to talk to, very knowledgeable, he explained things in terms I could understand, and mapped out a noninvasive treatment plan, and I anticipate good results.
