Richard A. Yonker's Online Review Report Card

I had been a patient of Dr. Yonker at Sarasota Arthritis Center for over 10 years. I moved to away for a few years and when I returned I started to see Dr. Yonker again. He had suggested I become part of his Concierge program for $1800 a year then he could see me as my PCP and my Rheumatologist. I joined the program at the great cost not knowing that he was charging me specialist prices to be my PCP. I paid $1800 for the Concierge Program ran the visit through my insurance and still was had to pay $280 for a PCP visit I felt this wasnt right so I withdrew from the Concierge Program only to be released from their practice even though I did nothing wrong. They are the largest group in this city so now Im blacklisted from seeing any of their doctors I guess they dont like when you dont want to be taken advantage of. Sad way to practice medicine when youre main concern is getting prestige pricingVery disappointed with the practice and particularly Dr. Yonker.

Dr Yonker has treated me for over 20 years through the ups and downs of this little understood disease. Ive been fortunate that with his treatment and the grace of God I have been able to continue to work and have a reasonably normal existence.

Saw dr tinker for a little over a year. I really had a good experience with him and the staff and would have recommended them until I found out that he did some blood work and left out the fact that I have lupus That blood work was done in 2016 and I just found out from my primary doctor about the lupus yesterday while she was going through all my tests. Very disappointed and now I have to try to find a new doctor. It’s so disheartening.

Terrific experience from prior paperwork professionally greeted detailed review of symptoms up to Dr. Yonker himself. He went over my past surgeries with me made recommendations on each of my issues. His manner is very compassionate his knowledge is exceptional. Thanks very much to the entire staff. Highly recommend.

I have been going to Dr Yonkers for a number of years now. I have suffered much pain before I went to Dr Yonkers . I have 13 joints of ra he has been able to find the right remedy for me many many times He has been the best for me .And also I have recommended to many people and friends And they are also very happy as well A big thumbs up for my Dr Richard Yonkers D O Eugene Lussier

This office told me that I had to be discharged in order to see another doctor out of this group. My insurance had changed and was not accepted by this group. This was back in 2004 or so. Just recently my insurance changed again and I thought I would be able to come back but was told once you are discharged you can never come back. Im very disappointed and will never recommend anyone from this group ever again.

I consider Richard A Yonker DO to be an excellent doctor. He exhibits a very high ability during his diagnosis and following care for his patients problems.
