Overview of patient comments

Summary created using AI

Patients appreciate

Dr. Shahram "Shawn" Yari receives overwhelmingly positive feedback from patients, with the vast majority of reviews awarding 5-star (or near 5-star) ratings. Patients consistently praise his knowledge and clinical skill, particularly in treating hand, wrist, and elbow conditions, as well as his gentle technique with injections and successful surgical outcomes. Many reviewers highlight his communication style, noting that he explains diagnoses and treatment options clearly, answers questions thoroughly, and never makes patients feel rushed. A recurring theme is his conservative approach to care—numerous patients specifically appreciated that he offers less invasive options and does not push surgery unless necessary, allowing them to make informed choices about their treatment. His bedside manner is frequently described as warm, kind, caring, and personable, and several reviewers mentioned they have referred friends and family to him. The office staff and overall clinic experience, including efficient check-in and short wait times, were also commonly praised.

Patients also share

A smaller number of reviews pointed to areas for improvement. Several patients mentioned longer-than-expected wait times, with one reviewer noting they waited over an hour and another citing a wait time as their only complaint. One review felt the visit was rushed and wished for more detailed discussion of X-rays and next steps. One patient noted a lack of personal connection with the doctor despite an otherwise fine visit, and another mentioned that a receptionist's behavior (talking or singing) was distracting. A couple of reviewers also noted that pain from an injection was more intense than expected, or that a prescription follow-up was delayed. These concerns appear to be isolated incidents rather than widespread patterns.

Patient comments are gathered from our Press Ganey Patient Satisfaction Survey and are displayed in their entirety. Patients are de-identified for confidentiality and patient privacy.
