I came across this review and was simply horrified that anyone would be take to social media over a bill for services and then accuse the doctor of negligence and or nasty insulting reviews!!!!
My husband and I have been with Dr. Yatrakis for 24 years. On a Saturday visit to his office in 1997 my husband went to Dr. Yatrakis for a "hardened testicle" Dr. Yatrikis got on the phone with a urologist and he immediately saw him that day. I was home hosting my daughters 2nd birthday and had a 9 month old boy as well. My father had accompanied him to the visit just to get out of the house. As they drove to the appointment at Overlook hospital, they discussed that Dr. Yatrakis told him, "Tom, I think this is testicular cancer and I want you to be seen today and have this taken out immediately" The urologist concurred and the surgery was scheduled for that Monday. It was in fact a malignant growth. Thankfully it was encapsulated and after several rounds of radiation he recovered without any re-occurence.
Over the years we moved in and out of the state as we were corporately relocated for my husband's job. Every time we came back to NJ we went back to Dr. Yatrakis as our primary as well as other physicians who are a part of the SMG network.
I work in healthcare and understand the value in seeing doctors who are a part of a network. This enables all of your doctors to see what is going on with their patients regardless of whether or not it is their specialty. That helps to manage your healthcare and overall well being.
I pray that Dr. Yatrakis is not thinking of retiring because I will miss having a doctor who knows my history, and me as a person.
I do not like YELP reviews for medical professions because it is really geared more toward for the food industry. People today want the ease of going to a doctor and getting what they "want" not what they "need" and when there are issues there is no one else to blame.
In this climate of "kindness and respect of one another" please look in the mirror and ask yourself if your reviews are constructive or destructive. read more
