Dr. Yoho's Recent Experiences with Athletics

Dr. Yoho and Judy Yoho enjoying the great outdoors

Dr. Yoho was an enthusiastic amateur athlete who did a lot of climbing, biking, and other activities in the outdoors. However, with a rock-climbing fall in 2008, he's had some pain in his left foot when he walks. For this reason, he has cut his training down to conditioning level, and although he does exercise every day, unfortunately he can't look forward to all of the outdoor activities that he used to do. 

 Currently he's very interested in kettlebell training, and is being trained by a registered kettlebell instructor. The kettlebell exercises are limited to only four main types; a sort of a swing between the legs and up in front of your body, an Olympic-style clean and jerk and Olympic-style snatch, and finally a special exercise called Turkish getup. This odd and slow exercise that was mentioned last can be looked up on the Internet and observed, and it is a very powerful exercise for strengthening the core muscles, including the low back and the abdominals. Dr. Yoho is able to do this exercise with 55 pounds several times. 

The other thing he is still able to do is ordinary weight-lifting and Bikram Yoga. With the Bikram Yoga, he is able to stay flexible and although he suffers in that heat, he thinks it's good for him. 

If you have questions about diet and exercise and you are Dr. Yoho's patient, feel free to ask them at your follow-up visit or your consultation visit.

 Dr. Yoho's Background 

Did you know that 2011 represented the 20th year that Dr. Yoho has been practicing cosmetic surgery? 

He has earned various awards and passed many tests in his progress towards his current level of expertise. He passed the boards in the American Board of Laser, and also is Board-certified in Emergency Medicine, the American Society of Medical Specialties. This last certification is an extra safety factor for his patients. He additionally passed the boards in cosmetic surgery, and is one of only two surgeons in the country who passed both the cosmetic surgery boards and is also Board-certified in emergency medicine.   

Dr. Yoho has trained over 50 physicians who have observed him in his office and given preceptorships for them and is currently and will be the president in 2012 for the American Society of Cosmetic Breast Surgery. 

He has presented over 20 times at national meetings, most recently in 2011, and also has published in scientific journals for cosmetic surgery over 20 times. He attends between four and ten cosmetic surgery educational meetings every year. 

His office experience encompasses more than 10,000 surgeries, and we think that our best recommendation is that over 95 percent our patients are either return patients or referrals from other cosmetic surgery patients.
