He then spent the next 5 years completing his residency at the University of Iowa Hospitals which remains one of the most highly ranked training programs in the country in orthopaedic surgery.

Dr. Yehyawi performs surgery but also utilizes non-operative techniques to help patients of all ages achieve their goals and return to being active. He has a special interest in treating injuries of the knee and shoulder, such as ligament and cartilage injuries of the knee, meniscus tears, shoulder instability, labrum, and rotator cuff tears.
