Dr. Melissa Yadao MD

Outstanding! Dr. Melissa Yadao is very knowledgeable about knee issues and she communicates to the patient in a manner that is easily understood and unintimidating. Dr. Yadao encouraged me to ask questions and she took the time to answer each one.

Dr. Yadao was thorough and kind with my daughter. The office staff was very professional. Would definitely recommend!

Excellent! She was very good!

She was very nice, informative, and I left feeling my problem was being solved. It was also great that I could get my x-rays done there at my appointment.

She was very nice, and professional. She explained my fracture better than the previous doctor and made sure I knew what was going on with my body. She was running a little late to the office (which for the area we live in you can never guess traffic) but I was informed of her delay and it was brief and not an issue. She also gave me information on a doctor she recommends for another issue I was having.

Thorough - with recommendations for at home procedures along with exercise; given options for treatment; updated my medical history; given a realistic time period for recovery.

Melissa Yadao is one of the most thorough doctors I have been to. She is also extremely nice and really cares about the quality of care she provides. I would highly recommend her!

This was my first visit to Dr. Yadao. I have a sports related injury that has not healed in 4 months. I was trapped in a local HMO, which I probably shouldn't name. The HMO philosophy seemed to be time healls all wounds. I found Dr. Yadao's approach both refreshing and professional. She gave me quite a few options of how to go forward and answered all my questions with appropriate depth. I would highly recommend Dr. Yadao!

Very professional and addressed my concerns and problems with the best care and treatment plan.

great!

Dr. Yadao was fantastic but unfortunately her reception staff was not. They were preoccupied with personal conversations and generally unhelpful. However, it was worth it to speak with Dr. Yadao, who I absolutely recommend. Maybe you can catch the staff on a better day.

All phases of my visit were professional and caring: receptionists, nurse and doctor. Dr. Yadao found that my injured knee had been broken, but would require no surgery and was healing. The RX was a knee brace and exercises. Hooray! I'm so relieved.

She is very professional and apologized for the delay. Other times there was no wait and everything went smoothly.

My initial consult with Dr. Yadao was great. She was very pleasurable to speak to and understanding about my knee issues. After my surgery was completed and my follow-up appointments began, her professionalism went out the door. She was hasty in everything that she discussed with me and would not allow me to ask my questions which made me feel intimidated and less of a person. The staff at the Mt. Vernon clinic seemed overwhelmed and dysfunctional. Dr. Yadao yelled at several staff workers in front of me which I thought was very unprofessional. Dr. Yadao is a very intelligent and smart surgeon, but her bedside manner during my follow-up visits were dismal in comparison. I would not recommend arthroscopic patients to go to Dr. Yadao for the reasons above.

She was very thorough and we felt like we had excellent care. It was worth the extra wait time.

Very professional and thorough.

This is the second time I have taken my son to Dr. Yadao for a sports injury. She explained the problem in terms we both could understand, answered all of our questions, explained what he could do to prevent a reoccurance, and quickly set his mind at ease.

Very professional and knows her profession. Was able to provide me with information I was looking for.

The visit was very pleasant.

I was very comfortable with Dr. Yadao's professionalism, knowledge and treatment. I would recommend her to anyone seeking orthopaedic treatment.

All went well, the Dr. was very attentive..

Dr. Yadao was very professional and encouraging to me. She is an asset to the medical community. I will come back to see her again.

Very professional, friendly and courteous. Bedside manner very good. Would recommend her to anyone needing that type of doctor.

The office is really busy but they seem to have enough support staff to handle it. Front desk staff, Dr.'s nurse and x-ray tech were very nice, friendly and knowledgable. Overall a friendly vibe there. I do plan to continue care there and recommend Dr. Yadao to friends/family.

This dr. is a true professional in every sense of the word. The office had everything I needed to be treated on site. I would highly recommend this dr. and office to anyone.

Dr. Yadao was very professional and thorough. She took the time to go over treatment options with me and respected my concerns. I was delighted with the visit.

Visit was rushed. Not enough time give to addressing medical concerns.

She was approachable and amenable. Answered questions with care and concern and very versed in sports injuries.

I have been seeing Dr. Yadao off and on for the past three years or so. She was recommended by my family physician and also my daughter, who is also a patient. She is the best!! She has a great bedside manner, takes her time and does not rush to see the next waiting patient. I would definitely recommend Dr. Yadao.
