Dr. Nathan Yokel is a native of the Maryland Metro DC area but moved to Philadelphia to complete medical school at the University of Pennsylvania where he augmented his medical training with a Masters degrees in Public Health and Business Administration at Johns Hopkins University.

During his residency training in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation with a focus on diagnostic and interventional ultrasound and sports medicine at the Georgetown University Hospital/National Rehabilitation Hospital in Washington DC, Dr. Yokel served as Chief Resident and developed a research protocol for assessing the accuracy of ultrasound guided injections. Following residency he trained in interventional spinal procedures, regenerative procedures, pain and occupational medicine.

Today, Dr. Yokel uses his expertise on sports medicine and regenerative treatments and pairs it with traditional procedures and rehabilitation to help patients get back to the activities they enjoy most. He believes in an …integrated approach that begins with a careful review of the injury’s history and incorporates traditional physical examination and real time ultrasound to find the source of each patient’s pain or impaired function.

Outside of work, Dr. Yokel is an avid sports fan and enjoys rooting for the University of Maryland athletic teams and the Washington Redskins. When not rooting for local teams, Dr. Yokel enjoys time with his family, crabbing on the Chesapeake Bay, traveling, and grilling out in his backyard on a nice day.

I'm reviewing after my second visit and Dr Yokel provided a very reliable diagnosis for my leg issue and the treatment seemed to be working. I'll need to go in again for a follow-up but so far, his services were worth it. His staff were also polite and professional.

Dr. Yokel is such a joy to see even when I’m in pain. That’s because I know he is going to listen to me, document everything, and come up with a plan that works for me. He is intelligent, funny, flexible, and understanding. He doesn’t mince words. He speaks to you like someone he cares about. Dr. Yokel continues to impress me. I have a complicated back, shoulder, hip case and he’s been very aware of explaining treatments for one, or all of the areas. He knows it’s a lot to process and he always spends time with me. Upon hearing that my husband was nervous for me to have the plasma treatment, Dr. Yokel suggested a virtual visit to calm my husband’s fears. I have never had to wait and all the people there have treated me with only kindness. I hesitate to share ROSM and Dr. Yokel with others, but I do so to help those who are living in pain. I trust Dr. Yokel completely.

I had a great experience with Dr. Yokel and would definitely recommend him. He took the necessary time to accurately diagnose the injury and assess the potential root cause of the pain using musculoskeletal ultrasound. We discussed a treatment plan and started prolotherapy the same day.

Dr.Yokel is a superlative physician. He is knowledgeable, thoughtful, interactive and helpful. His PRP treatments and prescribed therapy have given me my life back. I would recommend Dr. Yokel and his team to anyone who wishes to regain full function following debilitating injury.
