TESTIMONIALS
Yorktown Health helped me understand how aging affects bone strength. Dr. Shawn George D.O. gave me a clear scan report and a plan with steps I use every day. I never felt confused. I now know what to eat and how to move. That makes all the difference in my daily life.

I had no pain but found out my bones were weak. Dr. Shawn George D.O. ran the right test and gave facts, not guesses. He showed me where to start. Now I follow a simple walk and food plan. The care here is easy to follow and makes sense for my age.
Samuel P.
My provider, Dr. Shawn George D.O., was clear and calm. He checked my scan, talked about my history, and gave a printed list of foods to eat. He added safe motion tips too. I feel seen and supported. I no longer fear bone loss. I now manage it each day.
