Dr. Michael Yankowitz's Online Review Report Card

I have been to Dr Yankowitz office at least 4 times. Professional staff, Dr is attentive to the needs of his patients, shows compassion and empathy in the care he gives. My feet, especially my left foot, was in pain, I wasn’t walking properly and Dr Yankowitz treated me. I had foot surgery from another Dr a few years ago in Poplar Bluff Mo., my foot did not heal correctly. Dr Yankowitz fitted me with orthodox inserts and sent me to a store to measure me with these. I am walking pain free now thanks to this wonderful Doctor and his A1 staff. He also helped me find a hip specialist for my husband who had been suffering 1 1/2 years. We called, told them he sent us, less than a month later, his hip was replaced! Thank you Dr Yankowitz for being a top notch doctor, I am planning on sending anyone with foot problems to you. You are the best!!

Terrible RUDE Staff. I would not suggest this dr at all. While sitting in waiting room for the first visit we experienced the office staff actually becoming argumentative with a patient. A seemingly innocent elderly person asking questions, all of a sudden becomes a big issue. They spoke down to the patient and while we sat there and watched the interactions with their patients i leaned over and said this doctor Better really impress me or we will never come back. We will we definitively not be returning.

We love Dr. Yankowitz! My husband had a MRI of his ankle/foot in August which was very clear what was wrong, he was referred to Washington University Orthopedic in Chesterfield for an appointment, long story short, after two casts and a boot, four appointments and 4 months latter, and the pain / problem still existed, we decided to see Dr. Yankowtiz at the high recommendation from a chief of medicine at a local hospital, and before we left the first appointment my husband's foot / ankle was feeling better and after the second appointment the problem was resolved. Come to find out by requesting medical records from Wash U ortho, and looking at the billing record and speaking with Dr. Yankowitz, it was a no wonder the problem was not getting better and never resolved because they misdiagnosed the problem and were subsequently not treating it properly.

Love the doctor. Office manager one of the rudest people I have talked to. She refused to check with my ins as I did, so she could see they covered 100%. for orthotics. She told me no they didn't. Then told me she couldn't file the claim with medicare so they could deny and my ins would full pay. I offered to pay the $500 and wait for reimbursement and she would not let me do that either. I will go to another doctor for the orthotics. Hope to find a way to let this doctor know why I left.

Horrible. After an hour long wait, I finally saw this doctor, who spent more pushing his politics than doing the job I was paying him for. The exam resulted in being told that his MA would have to check with my insurance, but I asked these questions from his office before I even made my appointment. I was told they would get back to me in a couple of days, but it has been 2weeks with no reply. After 25 years of wearing boots in the Air Force my feet hurt and this guy did nothing. Waste of my time and money.

Excellent!!!!

In a world of "healthcare professionals" that have too many patients to even "care" let alone provide health. Dr Yankowitz and staff were terrific! The staff is friendly and helpful. And Dr Yankowitz got me in and took care of my toe right away! I feel like a new man. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I recommend them highly!

My husband went to this doctor for 3 visits in about a 1 1/2 month timespan. On my husbands second visit, he attempted to pay his $50 copay with the doctors MA. She refused it and even checked with the doctor to confirm that it wasn't needed because it was a "follow up". Of course, we were later billed. When I questioned it, they claimed the doctor would NEVER say not to pay a copay. Clearly his staff was poorly trained and rather than admit the error, they basically called my husband a liar.

Ordered and was fitted for a $500 set of orthotics that were 100% covered by insurance, with a $50 co-pay. When I went to pick them up (had to schedule apt), they charged me ANOTHER $50 (oh, it's not us, it's the insurance company since you needed another appt.) I said I would take them and leave, which of course they told me I couldn't do. Dr. had to *fit* them which consisted of him holding each one up to my heel for about 3 seconds and telling me to put them in my shoes to see how they felt

Don't go to him. He is impersonal and over bills insurance provider and expects patient to cover cost.
