Robert F Yerrington, MD

This is a terrible doctor. Do not go see him. His office staff is beyond rude and he is an uniformed provider who runs up to an hour late. Awful.

This was hands down the worst doctors experience I’ve ever had. I will not be returning to Dr. Yerrington, ever. After having an appt scheduled at 2:20 I wasn’t seen until 4:00, the office was not busy. I went in complaining of chills, coughing, body aches, a fever of 102, and a sore throat, all of which had been going on for about 48 hours. When I was finally seen the doctor only spent 5 minutes with me. As he was reading from his laptop, barely looking at me once, he was reading the wrong symptoms. He ruled out strep after a quick test but wanted to check for mono. His staff wasn’t able to draw a simple blood sample so I was sent to a separate lab and since by this point it was almost 5:00 I had to wait until the next day to have that work done. Aside from being incompetent, his staff was rude and not helpful at all. The results from the blood work took 48 hours and I never received a call from the doctor with the results. Instead we had to call to inquire, only to be told the doctor was on vacation and my test results didn’t reveal anything so I should just «ride it out»…
I had used the recommended email portal to try to get my results and to send the doctor an email. I never received a response from that. In my email I let the doctor know I was also experiencing some swelling and discharge in my eye and asked if this could be part of whatever I had. The nurse we later spoke with said Dr. Yerrington recommended I see an ophthalmologist… really!!! I can’t believe he wanted to send me to a specialist vs. thinking it had something to do with the fever and congestion.
I still have a horrible cough but everything else is fine. I’m just not happy with the level of service I received and not having received a diagnosis. I’ve read other reviews for Dr. Yerrington and his staff on other sites and I agree with the consensus that this practice is more concerned with being a business than helping patients.

Nobody likes waiting at the Doctors office however, this location plays an informational DVD that is on repeat about health tips, eating habits and new exercises. This alone helps eliminate the wait time by distracting you. Dr, Yerrington is funny, up best and educated. Maribel and Maria are great personalities and really the reason I’m a repeat patient.
