I absolutely love the care Dr. Yocom gives me. I am so my Rheumatologist referred me to him! He is very intelligible, answers all your questions, and takes his time during your visit.

Dr Yocom was very thorough, reviewed the MRI with me, put my mind at ease about my herniated thoracic disc & discussed surgical options for my Lumbar disc problems. He sent me for additional Xrays which were done immediately following the appointment.
