TESTIMONIALS
Dr. Shawn George D.O. helped me learn what a bone scan shows. He walked through my chart and told me how to build bone with food and daily motion. He kept it all short and clear. I use stairs again with more care, but no fear. This plan fits my life and age.
Victor G.
I had bone loss in my early 60s. At Yorktown Health, Dr. Shawn George D.O. gave steps I could follow. He didn’t overload me. Just a scan, a printout, and a few habits to add. I feel stronger walking now, and I check in every few months. That keeps me on track.
Marina E.
I was afraid of what the scan might show. Dr. Shawn George D.O. was calm, clear, and smart. He told me what my numbers meant and how I could take action. He gave safe tips and a new meal list. I left feeling in control of my care for the first time in years.
