  • Patient Testimonials
    • Kristin Bellevue, WA 09.18.23

      Dr. Yandow is an amazing doctor who has provided our son with the best care through multiple surgeries over the years. She has always taken the time to make sure that we get all of our questions answered about the complex issues and options of care we have for our son. I cannot say enough about her attention to detail and professionalism. We always have felt very confident in the care that she provides our son. Highly recommend her.

    • Karen Port Orchard 07.19.20

      Dr. Yandow is very friendly and takes time to listen to patient and family concerns. She was very gentle when removing surgical bandages and eased my son's anxiety surrounding all the changes to his body after his tendon lengthening surgery and bone grafts. She even took time to make sure his knees and heels are properly positioned and the exercises he should be doing..We highly recommend her.

    • Sean Edmonds, WA 05.22.18

      Dr. Yandow has been incredible through my son's entire surgery process. She makes sure to explain things in ways that are easy to understand and has made sure that we are comfortable every time we go in. She makes sure you know that she will take care of your child. I could not recommend her more, absolutely fantastic!
