Dr Yeske is one of those old fashioned doctors that knows a lot about different areas of medicine. He was my parents' doctor and now he ia my doctor. He gets an A+ from me! read more

This is a small family run office. I have come here for over 15 yrs. I come when I want to see a doctor but can't get in to see my primary. I get my tb tests here also. It's my alternative to urgent care. My dad loves the shots they have when he is having breathing issues. My mom had a scary cut on her leg that he took care of. Very clean office with a huge parking lot. I pay cash for a visit. It is $85 for a routine visit. read more

I came in today as a new patient and can say I left this place feeling awkward, sad? and empty. The staff nurse are extremely friendly and Dr. Yeske works really efficiently and can finish your diagnosis within minutes; but when it came to having a confidential medical conversation, it converted to Dr. Yeske sharing his "life" advice which destroyed my feelings. I am however thankful that he was later able to understand how I felt and remedy the situation after seeing my tears and frustration. read more

Dr. Yeske is the only reason I will go to a Dr. I had lost faith in the medical profession as it seems all they want to do is pump you with meds. He is the exact opposite. Like one of the other reviews I had been getting sick on and off and couldn't seem to get better; I ended up in the ER and that is how I met Dr. Yeske. He was so sweet and said we will get to the bottom of this and he did! He even went to the library at USC on a Saturday to get more information on the virus I had. He mapped out a natural route for me to take and I got better and the virus has not come back. I highly recommend Dr Yeske. Personally I like when he shares his family stories. My family knows when I am going to see Dr. Yeske I will probably be a while because I get carried away talking read more

So far I've just started going to this physician, and although the man himself is very thorough and really tries to figure out the core of your problems, the receptionists are rude. Nobody has greeted me with a welcoming face or a smile. It's fine if they aren't having a good day, but Jesus Christ, just make the clients seem welcome. read more

The guy is friendly however every friend or mine who saw him were told they had the same virus. "Epstein baar" is his excuse for why you feel anything ! Though it may be true, I did not see any willingness to look outside of his go to diagnosis and try to find the true issue to why I was feeling. While on the phone with him I asked him to send me blood work or any document that proved Those virus', he got defensive and he HUNG UP ON ME! I used that as my sign that it was time to find someone new . Bummed me out . read more

I broke down and paid Dr. Yeske a visit when I couldn't stop getting sick. Life without health insurance sucks so it has to be pretty serious for me to see a professional. I was able to get a last minute appointment which was convenient. The visit was $65 and my vitamin B12 and magnesium shot cost $20. I really like Dr. Yeske because he takes the time to sit down and talk with you. And he actually listens to what you have to say. One thing to note - he doesn't take credit cards so make sure you either have cash or you throw your dusty checkbook in your bag before you pay him a visit. read more

Reginald W Yeske, MD - Dr. Yeske's Office - Family Practice Near Me - Long Beach, California

I like Dr. Yeske. He's professional. He has a great bedside manner. His office is functional. He's timely, yet he takes time out so you don't feel rushed. He goes the extra mile. read more

Long overdue review. I came here 3 years ago after going to the ER and 4 different doctors. I was being prescribed with a bunch of antibiotics, steroids, cough syrup, high dosage of tylenol, and a bunch more. Not only was I taking a bunch of meds but I was also paying a bunch for meds and office visits before I came here. He took the time to hear me out with all my symptoms, medications, and emotional concerns. I was so angry with the whole medical system because I wasnt feeling better. After I saw him, i have never felt better. We found a virus in my blood that caused me to feel fatigue very very often and flares up more when stressed. Ive taken so many blood tests before and not one doctor or ER could figure out what was wrong with me. Also he found out im allergic to gluten and many other foods. I was in so much pain before. He basically saved my life. Why I felt the need to write this review is because I moved to norcal and I'm having the same issues with this virus again and not all doctors understand or go out of their way to understand. Dr Yeske is very wise, knowledgable, and is an experienced doctor. I really hate seeing the bad reviews of him because not only does that damage his reputation, they ate inaccurate accusations of him. Thank you Dr Yeske for everything! You are so appreciated. read more

Dr. Reg was really nice and attentive. I am a total baby when it comes to visiting the doctor and he made me feel very comfortable. The nurse and receptionist were also very kind. I was able to make an appointment on the same day, so if you need help asap, call them. I have gone to Kaiser before, and yeah, they have alot of cool new medical instruments and flat screen TVs, but there is something about getting on one of those old scales where you have to move the weights. It felt like the doctors office i would go to as kid. I didn't have to wait long either. Try Dr. Yeske, if you are anything like me- you will not regret it. read more

Don't know what the other reviewers are talking about who are giving this fine doctor bad reviews. As a senior, I have never had a thorough physical exam in my life till I saw Dr. Yeske and I didn't even know it. I am a former patient of that big provider in Long Beach. That place was a joke with their appointments 6 months out and packed waiting rooms. Very happy I took a chance and called the number on the door of this doctors office which happened to be located near my home in East LB. If you want an experienced seasoned medical professional to look after you, go here. Yes, he's old school and its refreshing. He cares and takes the time to cover your entire health profile. His staff is great too. read more

I wanna give my highest marks to Dr. Yeske. This true and dedicated professional really cares and takes his time with all his patients. His great staff has a warm and friendly feel and makes the office nice and comfortable. My family and I have been with them for more than 2 decades and in those many years, Dr. Yeske, his personable son Steve, Charmie and Lyn have treated us with the utmost Respect, kindness and professionalism, Kudos and top shelf performance--Thanx to you Doctor read more

I wish there were a million stars to give him!!! He deserves them all. He truly is the best doctor I have ever had and really really cares about his patients. Dr. Yeske is interested in getting to the root of your ailments as opposed to just giving you some pharmaceutical drug that will only mask the problem and can eventually lead to more problems. He is so awesome, I started bringing our 4 year old to him and she loves him, too! Hands down, the best doctor we have ever had! Thank you, Dr. Yeske! read more

My family saw Dr. Yeske for many years (about 10 I think) when we lived full-time in CA. Since we still have a business in Long Beach and are there from time-to-time and occasionally need a doctor while there, we still see Dr. Yeske for those needs. I would say - hands down - that he is one of the best I have ever seen when it comes to shooting straight with his patients. He has helped us in so many ways over the years. I appreciate the caring accommodation we have always received from Dr. Yeske and would feel completely secure and comfortable in recommending anyone to him - in fact, we have recommended many people to him over the years. Drs. are people, capable (and fully justified) of being imperfect. I personally find Yelp an inappropriate forum for comments on healthcare professionals (good or bad) because most are being written by - AT BEST - laypeople who really don't have the education, expertise, or right (frankly) to be making such an assessment of a doctor. At worst, it's generally complainers who don't want to pay their bill, a disgruntled employee who really isn't a past patient at all, or a competitor who, cowardly, uses a fake profile to damage another's business in favor of his own. But since Yelp seemingly can't be stopped from publishing clearly defamatory comments about businesspeople by allowing ignorant novices who have an incomplete understanding of that about which they are commenting, I am at least going to defend good professionals like Dr. Yeske who could and should sue people for saying he "violates HIPAA" and infers he is not a "good" doctor - inflammatory, baseless comments by someone who is likely not a HIPAA expert and certainly not a certified evaluator of healthcare professionals. You don't like his way of practicing - great, go to someone else, but why do you feel the need to go on social media and attempt to damage the doctor's reputation in the community? No one crowned you the keeper of the good doctor list in Long Beach. There, I feel so much better! :) read more

For the last 10 years Dr. Yeske has been my PCP and I visit his office one a month for necessary blood work. He is caring, very knowledgeable and takes time to answer patiently any questions you may have. He is the kind of old school doctor that you just don't see anymore. In my book he is the BEST. read more

I went in to see Dr. Yeske for my yearly physical. He is very professional and easy to talk to, and he will sit there and answer any questions that you pose. read more

Dr. Yeske has been my family doctor for years. I always knew he was a great doctor. I had a work related incident in January and Dr. Yeske really helped me out. The doctor's staff knew I needed help the morning I called in and they were able to get me in to see the doctor within one hour or so of me needing an appointment. Dr. Yeske sat and listened to my every word and I feel that he really cares about his patients. Dr. Yeske has a very busy office and I was blown away that he sat there and took in all that I had to say. After I had gone on and on, he gave me his medical advice and tried to calm me down and work through all of the issues. There is no doctor quite like him. I can't thank him enough for what he did that January morning. He's a wonderful doctor!!! read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Yeske's for 8 years. I don't remember how I found him but I'm so glad I did. Dr. Yeske always takes his time with you. He never rushes you in and out and takes the time to really listen to you. The wait is never long and his staff really works with you to get you in asap. He brings back the true meaning of being a caring family doctor. At this point he's not only my doctor, he is a part of my life. The other day I was having trouble figuring not my insurance so I call his office and left a message. He called me back within and hour and helped me figure it out. Now that is going above and beyond!!!! Thank you Dr. Yeske and staff for always being there with a smile!! read more

WOMEN BEWARE!! It was my first time seeing this Dr. for a check up and for the first time in my life I left the office in UNCONTROLLABLE TEARS. I have had back pain for a while since I was 21 and all of a sudden he had me hop on the table and chat. I didn't even have a medical gown on but I had a short dress and without warning he slid his hand under my Mini dress and started touching my lower back and upper butt. Where is the MEDICAL GOWN?? WHERE IS THE WARNING?? I was shocked and frozen. Also, I had gained weight after Covid and he commented on my weight saying I should be around 119 , and he could tell I was about 10 lbs overweight. I never even asked for this!!!!! Then we get to my age. I'm 35 and he questioned " why aren't you having children now" What if I don't want kids or CANT have them! Finally at the end, he mentioned I had a big white mole in between my eyes and that's ALL he can look at when he sees me:( What the heck ... he then says I can come back and he can shave it right off. I'm sure he was trying to sell his services. I've been to hundreds of doctors in my life and this is the first one I will be reporting. He needs to learn how to speak to his patients with empathy especially women and at least ask when he sticks his hands all over us. Also suspicious why he doesn't accept credit card only cash and just moved locations. read more

My first contact with Dr. Yeske was a few years ago when my father was dying and Dr. Y was the physician on call. My father had had one of those medical club memberships (but that doctor (ascudo) who had been paid in advance did nothing to care for my father, didn't even come to the hospital) and Dr. Yeske gave him really great care. He was very attentive and gave my dad a lot of personal attention. He answered all our questions in detail and never seemed to mind how many questions we asked. Since then my husband and I both have started using Dr. Y as our primary care physican. As before, he is very attentive, he actually knows us - instead of seeing a different doctor or talking to the same doctor who doesn't seem to know your case, your name or your face he knows us and follows up on what we had talked about last time we had been in to see him etc. He is like a doctor who cares. We think he is a real find. Jim and Jayme read more

I was referred to Dr. Yeske by a caregiver for a friend. I was looking for a local GP and I hit the jackpot. The doctor listens and ponders and gives his prognosis. He takes the time with you. I'm very happy with his style of medicine. His nurse and staff get high kudos, too. read more

Dr. Yeske is an excellent g.p. and primary care physician. His profesional skill, judgment and technical expertise are simply outstanding. I like how he sits and really takes the time to not only diagnose my medical needs, but to listen to whatever is bothering me at the time. That type of care is unfortunately rather rare in these days of managed care. His evaluations have helped me in dealing with nasty insurance claims and his referrals are top notch. I give my highest commendation to this caring and trusted professional. My family and I have entrusted him with all our medical needs for decades. read more

Yes, he indeed is an old school doctor who takes the time to sit with you and listen. I cannot wait to change my insurance now that is open enrollment. I called him so i can get back on his books. No one compares to him. He is also open to holistic ideas rather than running into drugs. He is patient and kind and truly a blessing. read more

Dr. Yeske is an outstanding Doctor. I consider his "Family Style Practice" priceless and impossible to find today. He always listens and will always give you enough one on one time. I feel very lucky to have him as my Doctor. His staff are always there for each and every one of us. They are the best! It is refreshing to say the least. He has given my Father incredible care for the last 20+ years and now, as he says; it is my turn. Larry T read more

this old scholl doctor has helped me and my family for over 30 years-he will not tell you what you want to hear but he will sit and talk to you until your questions are answered read more

The best doctor in California! I have been to loads of Doctors because of a health issue (that none, but Dr Yeske) could figure out! He uses old world knowledge along with modern medicine. This is an approach that 99% of the doctors don't do! A majority of doctors need to use either operate or drugs to fix any health issue, instead of finding out the root cause of a health issue and either fixing it or managing it. He is patient, kind, methodical and spends time with you on every visit to get to know you and your specific situation. He doesn't overbook, make you wait in the waiting room for hours, then shuttle you out as fast as you entered to get to the next patient. Sure his office isn't the most modern, with a brand new hospital look but that is why he isn't overbooking to rake in the money. If you want a whole body health type of doctor, not just a pill pusher this is the doctor for you! read more

yes, everything the others said about him being an old school doctor is true. the experience was more like how i remember from my past rather than the weird offices and doctors i've seen over the past decade plus. i would highly recommend dr. yeske if your looking for a doctor. i know i'm going back! read more

My family have been going to Dr Yeske for my entire life. I remember leaving school mid day at St Josephs in the late 80's and my Dad taking me to Dr Yeske. My kids now go to Dr Yeske. Generally I would never "review" a medical professional as I feel I am no where near qualified to make such a statement like the gentlemen from Texas said. After reading the reviews though I had to tell you how great Dr Yeske is. I have never once had him agree with what I read on google; he was always right. I have also never had him agree with some random thing my buddy said; he was always right. He will sit and talk with you even about random sporting events or current events because he knows once put on the spot you might not remember all those important questions you had. After a few minutes of talking I always feel relief and peace of mind. Dr Yeske is a great doctor. Hands down. I always recomend people to Dr Yeske. He is what I guess people describe as an old school dr but in my opinion thats really just what the definition of a real doctor is. read more

Professional, knowledgeable, skilled, and CARING. In an insurance matter that I was dealing with, he went way above and beyond what I would expect from a physician. I totally trust this man. He is a fine doctor with a lot of integrity. read more

Dr. Reginald Yeske is a very good doctor because he takes the time to talk to you about your medical history before making a diagnosis. He treats causes rather than symptoms. He does not over-medicate. He is like the family doctor of olden times. I recommend him highly to help you take care of your health over the long run. read more

We went to this clinic as it was referred by our close family friend. We didnt set an appointment as we were informed that they accept walk-ins. By the moment we reached the front desk, the two asian ladies seems to be uncertain if they will accommodate us or not. They were not friendly at all. They were like pinpointing each other if my son can be accommodated. They did accepted our request as walk-in patient and had presented our insurance. What we only need is my son's blood pressure and pulse rate result. After the nurse (which doesnt look like one) had taken my son's pulse rate and bp, we were referred to the Dr. Yeske. After the doctor had taken my son's bp, he approached me and told me he cannot help my son with what he need. Words of discouragement came out from this doctor which intimidated my son atrociously. All we need from him is just a written note that his bp and pulse rate results were normal which they were. He doesnt want do the the interval of 15 minutes per test, for 2 consecutive days. Waste of time! I was even thinking of bringing my whole family and clan to this doctor but had changed my mind. read more

my doctor retired , and since i have an hmo, my insurance company assigned me to dr. yeske... i was kind of skeptical. i called his office to inquire about his hours. and sumee (receptionist ) informed me that dr. yeske even was in the office 9-12 am on saturdays.. each appointment i have had, dr. yeske has made me feel like i was a real human being.. doesn't talk down to you (as many drs. do ) after examining you , he actually takes the time to explain to you the reason for his treatment for u. not just here take this perscription and i'll see u in 2 weeks.. very compassionate.. understanding, patient, doctor. he's no #1 in my book !!! and, no this is not a paid advertisement.. read more

I saw Dr. yeske for about a year after leaving Kaiser, and I am now moving on to another Primary Care Physician. Dr. Yeske failed ro refer me for a an abnormal pap smear, and I didn't understand the seriousness of this oversight until it was pointed out to me by a gynecologist months later. I saw her because of abnormal postmenopausal bleeding and cramping, on my own. In general, I feel Dr. Yeske fails to refer patients when indicated. He told me he thinks family physicians are able to handle many situations without referring to specialists, and Medicare likes him for this. However, this has been a dangerous attitude for my health. The uterine biopsy is next week and I hope not too late. Regardless, two gynecologists have told me that not referring a patient to a gynecologist after an abnormal pap smear is a serious problem. In addition, I had to ask Dr. Yeske for a referral to a hematologist last summer on the advice of a physician friend. Dr. Yeske had been dealing with his own theories about some abnormal blood teats for several months with no results. The hematologist ordered the test to diagnose my leukemia and treated it. At the time I thought "any physician can miss a diagnosis" but now I see this as part of a pattern of not referring patients so he can do it all himself. Currently, my back is hurting and the xray shows problems. It feels like it's gettig worse. Dr. Yeske,s advice, when antiinflammatories did not solve the problem in one month was to take them for another month, even though I asked a referral to a specialist. I will be asking my new doctor for that referral when I first see him, this coming week. read more

I found Dr. Yeske (or should I say he found me) when I was in the emergency room at Community Hospital with a badly broken ankle. He consulted with the ER doctor, followed through after my surgery and saw me every day I was in the hospital sometimes more than once. When it came time to be discharged the hospital wanted to send me to a nursing home because I'm single, live upstairs and don't have anyone living with me. Dr. Yeske listened to me and plead my case allowing me to go home and be taken care of by my father. Without Dr. Yeske I would have been in a for profit nursing home for at least six weeks receiving about the same level of care I received in my own home. During the six weeks I was home I continued to get follow up calls from Dr. Yeske just checking in on me. I can honestly say that's the first time a doctor has called me at home to check on me in my life. He's now my GP and I am really pleased with my decision. He is a great listener and has been spot on with my diagnosis. I never wait in his waiting room and rarely wait more than 5 minutes in the exam room. My only regret is I didn't find him sooner. read more
