I never even got to see this Dr. as his office staff shredded my referral because it was in French. When I hadn't heard about an appt. I called them directly, I was told it was okay, and booked me an appt. when I came down from Ottawa for my appt. they told me they had shredded the referral as they could not translate it.

Brutal. When I went in the operation room and was lying on the operation table, I looked over to the corner and there he is on the internet looking at Globe Fund checking out his stock portfolio! Then on my follow up appointment he spend no more than 2 minuites with me. Told me to bend my leg and said I was fine. I basically hand his hand on the door knob the whole time. Absolutly a brutal Dr.

Horrible Horrible doctor, was very rude and pushy, follow up care was horrible, I had fallen on my foot the night before the fracture clinic after having bone drilled out 6 days before, and he told me I shouldn't be in that much pain! Ya right, let me drill a hole in your foot and drop 135 lbs on it 6 days later jerk off! Plus he told my family doc things I had told him in confidence, and I do have the proof thanks to her staff. I would never EVER recommend this doctor!

Explained what was wrong with me my knee and left the choice of surgery up to me without me feeling like I was being pushed into anything. Once I made the choice he spelled out the details. Surgery and post op care were excellent. Very down to earth and speaks laymans english.

Dr. Yovanovich is a very good orthopedic surgeon, and I would want him as my doctor again if I should need his expertise.
