Dr. Yosha was wonderful, as always. He is careful to listen and fully understand before proceeding with his suggestions. He is never pushy and willing to work together with me to come up with a care plan that I am comfortable with.

Dr. Yosha and I have a good working relationship regarding my health. I appreciate that he is direct, clear, and takes a holistic approach to everything that's going on including mental health. He also takes my personal preferences into account regarding medications (he knows I don't like to take drugs if not really needed). He listens well and we work together. I appreciate him very much.

Dr. Yosha is phenomenal. He goes the extra step in making sure I understand things when I ask questions, makes me feel like a valuable part of my care team, and I do recommend him and this practice to my friends and family members. Generally, as a larger woman, I've had less than good experiences with doctors, and Dr. Yosha has always treated me with respect and believed me when I've shared important medical and life information with him - he's an asset to the URMC brand.

Mar 09, 2022
Dr. Yosha is very professional. He actively listens and provides compassionate care.
Mar 03, 2022
Dr. Yosha Is not personable. And instead of going through my health history and addressing my concerns /symptoms he automatically became condescending towards me. Physicians should not try to make patients feel as though they are being neglectful especially with things we have experienced numerous times. This provider has dismissed my concerns prior due to other health issues which in turn was quite detrimental to me. Patients are not numbers. We are not cookie cut outs we all have unique backgrounds, health issues etc. Care providers like him In nature need to be more open with conversation and becoming knowledgeable of the patients they see especially when doing telemed appts. ** while covid is very serious, it is not the cause for all things that patients endure*** Lets get back to proper practices
Feb 18, 2022
Dr. Yosha is always so knowledgeable and kind and compassionate . He takes the time to listen and thinks out side of the box . He is a great physician . Nurse Irina is always so helpful and kind . She makes sure that the kids get taken care of . She has wonderful patient care skills .
Feb 17, 2022
Dr. Yosha has an exceptional way of discussing my concerns, and I appreciated that he asked if I wanted advice about a topic before giving it.
