My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...
My goal as a primary care physician is to form close partnerships with my patients. I refuse to allow the wedge of assembly-line medicine to impact my practice.
In my new personalized healthcare practice, similar to a concierge medicine practice, but more comprehensive, my patients experience unparalleled attention to their unique needs and goals, which is of paramount importance to helping them be well and stay well. Due to my smaller practice size, my patients and I have time to get to know one another and gain mutual respect, trust and open communication. As a private doctor, I also have time to focus on prevention and wellness through advanced diagnostics, thorough exams and customized action plans.
The doctor-patient relationships nurtured in my practice support a return to the proper values of healthcare. This is a goal for which I have always passionately strived, a goal that my patients and family know is deep in my heart and a goal that we are now able to collectively attain!
Although I practice family medicine, I have interests in hyperlipidemia, hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular health and diagnostics. I am affiliated with St. Vincent Health Center Hospital, part of the Allegheny Health Network. My practice is located in Erie, Pennsylvania and serves the communities of Mill Creek, Fairview, Girard, Waterford, Corry, Edinboro, Harbor Creek and Ripley, New York.

I feel so fortunate to have found Dr. Yakish in the MDVIP network after making a move from FL to PA. The home office was so helpful in finding him.
Dr. Yakish is so thorough, approachable, kind and respectful.
He has a wonderful staff in Maryellen and Mandy, who complete the positive picture in the office.
,So, thank you......!

I have gotten personal one on one care like never before, I personally feel as if Dr Yakash truly is interested in my current and future health. I'm also impressed with the amount of time they spend with me each time I'm there. It's also very easy to get in and out in an efficient manner.

I have had a rough couple of years and no matter what Dr. Yakish is always there for me. He always tells me he is always up to a challenge, and I think I have given him a few! He is always so patient and understanding even when I just want to give up. Thank you so much for always being in my corner and helping me keep the faith!

I was having a medical issue that Dr. Yakish diagnosed as a neurological condition. He made arrangements to get me in with John Hopkins Neurology.
I had to have surgery at John Hopkins and Dr. Yakish was with me all the way.
I am so great full for the continuing care of Dr. Yakish and his staff. I do not believe I would have gotten the correct treatment/diagnosis with out Dr.… See more

I knew Dr. Yakish because I taught pediatric nursing for twenty years at St. Vincent Hospital and knew his strengths as a physician. I have a complicated medical history but he agreed to take me on. Recently I have been dealing with an allergic reaction which took months to get to the source. Afterward because my eosinophil count continued to increase I had chest CT. The contrast resulted in… See more

I was amazed at all of the health information that he was able to provide me, which allows me to work with Dr. Yakish in monitoring my health. It is comforting to know that he is always… See more

Thanks, Dr. Jack, for keeping my ship on an even keel! If you like your doctor, you stick with him -- but life brings changes, like it or not, and when I lost the PCP I had for over 15 years, I felt like a shipwreck. I chose to join Dr. Jack's practice and have never looked back. Great doctor, great communication, great staff. Thank you, everyone, for your outstanding care!

Why I like Dr. Jack Yakish:
He listens to everything we have to say, he shows that every problem we have is important and tries hard to fix all our ills.
He is an excellent doctor but also acts like a regular guy. The only one out of many who tried to cure my acute hypertension.
