I feel like a whole new person compared to the last year and I have the amazing Dr Yero to thank for that. He has been so very supportive and every part caring, and without him I don’t know if I’d be in the position I am now. I have learned so much about myself and feel far more in control of myself and my life.
I was referred to Dr Yero for a second opinion. I had been diagnosed and under treatment for over two years with minimum improvement. My condition was not a rare one, but apparently it is commonly misdiagnosed. It took Dr Yero just one consultation to properly diagnose me and prescribe the treatment that has literally changed my life. I have no words to describe how thankful I am of being his patient. Thank you Dr Yero!
Dr Yero is the best psychiatrist, I know what I’m saying, I was in a very dark place and with him I could be me again, many years ago and it’s still the best, thank you doctor
I’ve been seeing Dr. Yero for the past two years for lots of different issues that I had to work on. And two years later my quality of life has changed for the better tremendously. Never before had I ever looked forward to see a doctor, but with Dr. Yero, I can’t wait until my appointment. Truly, he is one of the best Doctor and a human being that cares about you. He is truly the “BEST” I hope to continue to work with him for as long as I can.
