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 chroShow morenic 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.
For a two-week follow-up appointment after PRP knee treatment, I was given a full evaluation including ultra-sound and thorough conversation re residual symptoms, future expectations, goal setting for the six-week follow-up, my quShow moreestions/concerns, best practices for me at home, more. I met the PT team member to review PT do's/dont's for this stage of healing and to assure correct knee brace fit. The appointment was informative/reassuring. I highly recommend.

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
On time appointment with very thorough exam. All my questions and concerns were addressed. We decided on treatment options.
Very good results so far perfect . Highly Recommend both knees. Thank you kindly, Robert Freeman.

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.

Great Dr real help with knee pain
The staff was friendly and helpful. Dr. Yeargan stayed on top of my issue and helped me with receiving the best possible care for my knee pain.
Great dr. very helpful.
Always a great and caring visit. Very pleased with Dr. Yeargan's expertise and how he is so helpful and explains what is going on with my health issues!!! Had a stem cell procedure done on my knee 7 years and very successful. Avoided having to have a knee replacement. Minimal recuperation time and was able to drive in 2 days. Just had shoulder stem cell on both shoulders approximately 3 weeks ago and progressing very nicely.
We're lucky to have Dr. Yeargan in Wilmington North Carolina! He is a combination of brilliant scientists and everyday All-American kid next door. His research and life's work in ortho and regenerative sports medicine are cutting a path and paving a new road for how we look at and treat joint, tendon and ligament injuries. If you're dealing with joint pain, don't feel like it's something you have to live with. He can fix you! He fixed me twice and the recovery is exponentially shorter than surgery.
Very professional, extremely knowledgeable.
He listens. Gives options!
I have been a patient for years and Dr. Yeargan is very professional and intelligent. I have found that Dr. Yeargan is able to explain medical problems/treatments in a way that makes it easy to understand.
Dr Yeargan spent considerable time reviewing my options for arthritic conditions I felt there was a genuine concern to help.
So far so good. Thanks dr Yeargan for all your positive reinforcement.
