I know it's long, but I feel people should know who people are behind the closed door. And show their despicable behavior for others to see who they are "trusting."
I had been a patient of Dr. Yunk's for abit over a year. I am disabled, but have personal private insurance(primary) as well as ssdi benefits. Dr. Yunk's office as well as himself have always had this information. I went for my scheduled exam and was told that because I receive medical benefits through social security they will no longer provide medical services/or appointments to me. This is even though I have primary insurance through a private company that I have always had and this doctors office has never had an issue with. This complication arose when I mentioned being disabled to the reception staff. I was then notified they would no longer see me as a patient. Yet still tried to bill me for the visit. I was then asked to come back into a hallway to talk(under the guise of being seen) with Lisa the "nurse in charge" according to her. She then proceeded to tell me to leave and the doctor would just refill my prescriptions without even seeing me. I told Lisa it was crucial I see Dr. Yunk today as I just received the results of a brain MRI that showed several lesions on my brain along with other serious red flags and needed some questions answered and direction. She coldly told me it isn't their problem because they will no longer see me. I requested to know what was going on, why this all the sudden change and who's responsible for such disregard for human beings. I was told that "they told her(Lisa) that that's the way it is." I asked if I could speak with "them." I was told by Lisa they weren't there, [she] just spoke with them." I asked who they" were. She replied "The Doctor." *wait, the doctor isn't there?* so I asked said question. Lisa's response "Yes, he is. But he won't see you!" With a condescension that inferred I was beneath them. Then she added, "besides he won't talk to a patient about billing." Guess what! If he is making the billing rules, he needs to step up and back them and not be a coward! I asked for Lisa's name and my medical file. I was refused both. I asked three times and then she told me to wait in the waiting room because it would take time to get together. I told her forget the file then and just provide me with your name. She said it would be a minute and disappeared. I obtained her name through other means.
So, to recap: Because I am disabled this doctor sees fit to be discriminatory in his practice by being prejudice against disabled persons and refusing to see them(I could understand turning away a new patient that was solely on Medicare if you don't accept it. But an existing patient with private insurance?). Because as long as your are disabled, declared by the government, you can't be seen here. Because of, who knows what(insurance isn't the issue here because I have private insurance as my primary insurance). And I was lied to by staff repeatedly, then was denied my own information(medical file), I was also denied to speak with the doctor or billing or whoever is making these decisions. Then was told they weren't there, then told it was the doctors decision and he refused to see me to stand behind his discriminatory practice.
Just stay away! Although Dr. Yunk does seem very knowledgeable and does admittedly have good literal "bedside manner," I strongly discourage others from being a patient. Unless you want to be in the middle of treatment and dropped like you mean nothing. Doctor Yunk acts genuine to your face but he isn't genuine. He rushes. Want attention and to slow him down in your visit? Talk sports, then he will actually give you some time and act interested. His website touts being new to Celebration and he cares. Nah. Especially for being in a higher end neighborhood with a higher age group of residency, to turn away someone who is disabled or retired? Get this guy outta here! read more
