Walter Yury MD

Dr. Yury is the oldest doctor I know. He’s great! He’s especially an expert in bioidentical hormone replacement. He’s also seen every disease in his long career. He’s a no nonsense outstanding doctor.

Most people see Dr. Yury because of his hormone therapy. He understands hormones and hormone replacement. I have never needed this though. The main reason I have seen him in the past is because he has been willing to call in prescriptions for me when I am unavailable to come in and need something on an emergency basis, the office’s willingness to fit me in on a moment’s notice, and that when I am sick, he gives a shot of celeston to make me feel better instantly plus the antibiotic.
Well, his bedside manner, in a lack of better words, sucks. You go into his office and meet with him. He barely looks at you and is hardly congenial. You feel like you almost inconvenience him by being there.
He has a T-​shirt on the back of his door that says, «I’m not a gynecologist but would love to take a look.» Is that really appropriate?
He used to refill prescriptions without hassle, especially since he knew I wasn’t abusing them. My pharmacy called him up to request the refill extension and he denied it. He has said that he gives prescriptions to people he knows are drug addicts because it’s safer for him to write the prescription than to buy it on the streets. Are you kidding? Yet you deny my prescription?
If you need hormone treatment, then see Dr. Yury. Otherwise, go somewhere else.

Dr. Yury is a preventative medicine/​anti-​aging doctor who specializes in hormones, thyroid, etc. Completely agree with other reviewer. Dr. Yury is around 83(?) years old and the best we’ve found at what he does. Been seeing him for 3 years and he knows his stuff, is always attending continuing education seminars, etc. Doesn’t sugar coat his info. He doesn’t examine you — it’s done at his desk. Basically does history, blood test results, feedback as you progress on your plan. Actually takes insurance — yes! Have paid out of pocket for some other people just to see if they had more insights, etc., but didn’t provide anything more than what Dr. Yury had already said. He is quick to get you in and will do anything possible for you if you have an urgent need. He takes the time you need (sometimes really long and sometimes super quick) rather than a set amount to get to another patient. He has a direct line to the pharmacy and they will do whatever he says. Has his own blood draw lab in the office that also takes insurance so no need to wait in long Quest lines. Also has lots of supplements, vitamins, etc. Was leery at first that they wanted to sell me a bunch of stuff, but he’s only recommended items 2 – 3 times over 3 years and they don’t seem to really mind if you choose to get it elsewhere. Free parking, although get there 10 min early to get a spot and walk in. Highly recommend if you want an anti-​aging/​hormone MD (for men or women), particularly one who takes insurance.

Dr. Yury is great! Not difficult to get in. His bedside manner is a little abrasive but he actually cares about his patients. He is extremely knowledge about hormone therapy. He is a good doctor. I just hope he doesn’t retire soon.
