Why Choose Dr. Yelverton?

  • Here’s what patients say:

  • Approaching my 1 year mark from having bariatric surgery and hiatal hernia repair surgery with Dr. Sam. What a success I have had! I feel so much more healthy, confident, and overall great since surgery. I am down 80 lbs since surgery. Dr. Sam is so patient with you and takes the time to explain everything. He prays with you before surgery and was given amazing talents by God. I did end up needing my gallbladder out this past January, which he also did. I will forever be grateful and blessed to have had him as my surgeon! - CR
