As a new patient I was nervous but his office (like a step-back-in-time) staff was so nice and Dr Yeckley put me at ease immediately. He was very professional and diagnosed my issues quickly. Gave me a referral of someone he said was a good, decent, not showy dermatologist.

He got me through shingles, quickly and as comfortably as possible.

Dr. Yeckley is awesome. Prompt, doesn't overbook patients, staff couldn't be nicer. He has a casual bedside manner, which some might not like, but I love. Not only put me at ease, but made me laugh out loud. More importantly, he's highly competent and honest. This shows itself in his avoiding unnecessary procedures and refusing to overbook patients. Definitely recommended.

Dr Yeckley is a good doctor in my opinion. He listened to my concerns and discussed with me the best approach and treatment. He was very polite and was easy to talk to. He also seemed to have a good sense of humor, which did help to ease my anxiety about the minor surgical procedure I had to have. The office is a bit outdated, but what counts is the quality medical care you get.
