Patient Reviews
Aug 02, 2022
Dr Yates just performed my colonoscopy at Memorial North Park. I was so impressed by his personable, professional approach and the friendly, competent health care services provided by his and Memorial’s staff—from the intake specialist, to the anesthesiologist and nurse anesthetist, nurses, techs, transporters, and volunteers. It was a thoroughly competent and comforting experience. And thanks to the Chaplain for the 9 am broadcast prayer. Everything about Dr Yates and his team at Memorial confirms to me the high quality healthcare services Memorial North Park provides. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Thanks again Dr Yates! 10/10!
