    He knows his stuff but he's a little impersonal. Didn't address me by name in the virtual visit, gave me hard to hear news with a less than helpful tone, was pulling up my chart info at the last minute, has shown up late to the last two virtual visits. I expect the doctor to at least address me by name and remember a little bit about me before launching into the visit.

    Dr. Yenchek is a very good and skilled doctor. He knows the studies of the kidneys very well. He is personable and easy to communicate. He does not look at the time rushing a patient out so he can see the other patient. He takes time!
