Review for Dr. Funk
Dr. Yell is professional, and soft-spoken, and she took the time to answer all my questions. I have seen her several times and plan to continue getting my care from her.

Review for Dr. Yell
Dr. Siegel completed a rotator cuff and bicep tear repair 4 months ago and I am nearly pain-free with full range of motion. Work through the pain according to his instructions and you will get your arm back! He knows what he is doing.
