Dr. Robert Allen Yancey, MD

Had a right hip replacement in 2010 and it still looks brand new in 2019. A life changer by a great doctor. PJ Carson

20 years ago I met Dr. Yancey during a very difficult time for me at 12 years old. A trusted doctor that I had had since my injury at 4 botched a simple spinal fusion. So bad that my rods ripped out of my back while I sat eating dinner . Yancey was called in to try and fix the issue . It took him 3 revisions to fix the awful work that had been done one me . Our relationship didn’t end there though. A few years later I ended up with osteomyelitis and was septic on life support. ICU doctors tried to take my entire leg, and Dr. Yancey fought tirelessly through all the political and bureaucratic mess to do emergency surgery in the ICU on me to save my life . In my entire life I’ve never had a doctor love me and fight for me and my life more then this man . He doesn’t just put you under the knife for no reason and he won’t give you an unnecessary surgery . He is intelligent and kind. He is honest and will not give you false expectations . This man gives months of his time to Doctors Without Borders and helps people throughout the world . This man is 1 in a million when it comes to surgeons and a doctor . He’s never left me in pain, and he has always fought for what’s best for me . I owe him my life . I wouldn’t even think twice about going to him. RUN to him . You won’t regret it . Kathryn N.

I will not go back to this doctor. He is a research dr and i didnt fit into his bell curve for pain. He would not give me enough medication to be able to sleep after my knee replacement therapy. I took my husband with me and we tried to explain my pain needs. he treated me as if i was an addict. I am a sixty five year old women who barely even drinks. He doesnt listen to his patients and what they need. If ever a person needs potent drugs it ia after a painful surgery. I have had several surgeries and get off my medications as quickly as i can. By the way, my knee has taken 2 years to heal

Dr. Yancey has performed two knee and two hip replacements for my husband in the last 2 years. His expertise in his field cannot be praised higher. He performed anterior surgeries on his hips which had him up walking with 3 hours. Cannot praise this doctor enough. Now I am facing shoulder surgery for muscle injuries and will look into Dr. Yancey to perform my surgery as well. I would feel much better knowing his qualifications and personal results... Hopefully it will not be a long to see

He has done 2 knee replacement surgeries and 1 hip replacement for me. Excellent Dr. Cares about his patients and the results of surgery are great.. I walk about 2 1/2 miles a day with no pain.

Wonderful care concerning the reconstruction of my Achilles tendon. Would strongly recommend Dr. Yancy for orthopedic surgery

Doc rebuilt a broken Knee for me.. I have gone 25 years without a hitch.. excellent Doctor

He did a hip replacement on me With great results!

I've had total knee replacement and shoulder repair surgeries - both accomplished with excellent success by Dr. Yancey. He is outstanding in every respect.

Amazing surgeon, takes time to explain detail in lame man terms. Has done surgery on many of my family members! would refer him to anyone

My overall experience was excellent. I had a knee replacement and felt the procedure went well and my recovery is improving. I received a follow up call after I left the hospital that evening from Dr. Yancey and asked how I was doing. I thought this gesture was beyond the call of duty. I think Dr. Yancey sincerely cares about his patients.

He told me that he did not treat ankle problems.Yet he curriculum vitae/resume and accomplishments boasts of Ankle surgery among other things. Things that make you go huuuuuummmmm!!!

You will never find a more competent individual who knows what he is doing....and is extremely intelligent in his field.

Excellent surgeon! Had others diagnose hip issue a number of years ago. Only after meeting Yancey was I convinced that I was ready and that I was not too young. I feel strongly that if he felt that I was not a good candidate for the proceedure that he would have told me so, up front. Takes time to answer questions and address concerns.

Another Orthopedic Dr. had told me there was nothing he could do for my knee pain because I was too young for a knee replacement. I have patellar femoral syndrome and couldn't kneel, had throbbing pain at night and whenever I tried to go up or down stairs or stand for too long. Dr. Yancey gave me synvisc injections that allowed me to almost be pain free and allow me to go up and down stairs and even exercise again.

Excellent doctor. Has replaced many of the bionic knees and hips in Gig Harbor.
