Dr. Yarbrough is one of the nicest physicians I've ever been to. I received excellent care during my hip replacement surgery and afterwards. I would highly recommend him.

Robert Yarbrough has successfully performed 4 orthopedic surgeries on me in the last 14 years. The first operation was in 2011 when my right knee was crushed when the car rolled down a steep embankment and hit a tree. After recuperation, the new knee has never given me any pain or discomfort. Since that time, he has replaced 2 hips and on Sept.. 24, 2025, he replaced a worn out and defective left knee. He is very understanding and kind in his bedside manner. His professional expertise knowledge is unsurpassed. I highly recommend him as an orthopedic physician.

Wonderful front desk team that were extremely pleasant and helpful. Dr. Yarbrough was absolutely awesome. He educated me on the situation. We discussed treatment and came up with a plan together. I couldn't be more pleased with the entire experience.
