I have the upmost respect for Kathleen, I have several health issues, one being severe sinusitis. My immune system is quite compromised due to Lupus, asthma & severe allergies. Kathleen is very busy and often booked out at least a month, however she does block a few days in her schedule for patients like me. I very much appreciate her as a PA and feel fortunate to have been referred to her by my previous sinus specialist, Dr. Abelson.

Kathleen Yappel-Sinkko is an excellent APRN. She deserves a new white Cleveland Clinic lab coat with her name and credentials that fits properly with no unremoved stains.

Dr. Yappel-Sinnko is always so caring and making sure I know what's happening and what to do next. There was a tornado warning that popped up during my exam. She quickly finished the scope, and as we gathered our things she continued to inform me of what I need to do. I saw her in the stairwell and she confirmed what she had told me earlier to be sure I knew what was happening. She's so great!!!

She listened to my input and modified follow up treatment plan. Provided good explanations.

Kathy Yappel Sinko is exceptional. She listens, she communicates clearly, and she takes her time explaining diagnosis and next steps. I have been with this practice for several decades and she is my "go-to" provider.

When I booked I was told I was seeing a doctor but was treated by an NA. I drove 50 miles to see a doctor. Now I have to schedule another visit to see a DOcTOR .

Very happy to have her as my doctor.

That was probably the best experience in my 58 years of life with a doctor. He was so knowledgeable and I actually felt like he was listening to me. I didn't feel like I was just a number and that he was trying to just hurry up and get me through, that was definitely the most awesome doctor experience I've ever had
