It was amazing! I wish more health professionals were like Dr. York. She listened to me, heard what I was saying, asked excellent questions, took me seriously, was understanding about all of my concerns (including about health insurance costs), and did a thorough exam. She also included me in my health care plan, and made sure to explain everything to me in a way I understood. It was fantastic, and a refreshing change from the way providers usually treat me (in short, I've had some horrible, traumatic experiences with health care providers in the Boston area, and this was the opposite). Thanks for restoring a bit of my faith in the health care system by showing that you genuinely care about my wellbeing!
2026-01-15

Yeah, my provider, Dr. Yorks, is one of the best providers I could have hoped for in dealing with my ongoing situation. I have cervical spinal stenosis and I'm coming out of a frozen shoulder situation and was basically in a lot of physical trouble. And her guidance, her practical knowledge, her bedside manner, her advice and counsel were invaluable in getting me to a point where I was able to surmount some of the greater difficulties and continue a healing process. While I do have a chronic condition with my cervical spinal stenosis, I am grateful that Dr. Yorks and I have a partnership where I am able to get her evaluations and feedback and advice on a regular basis. She's a treasure and Spaulding should appreciate her because she's ?

Yes, I had a great appointment with Dr. Yorks. She spent a lot of time with me. We went through everything thoroughly. She went through my MRI with me. I had seen two other doctors before her and no one had discussed the MRI with me or shown it to me. I only had read the radiologist report. So I was very pleased and look forward to finding the solutions, or actually she has already set up for me to find those solutions to get me back to where I want to be. Thank you.
