This was the second time I had seen Dr. Yu though he acted as if we had never met and seemed to be in a bit of a rush. Seems like a nice man and I'm sure he's a good doctor. I think our visit lasted less than three minutes and I found myself wondering why I needed to come in.
Verified patient
He did not offer much new, or any information on my issue. Nurse said I had one of the worst reactions to skin testing and he didn't even look at my back to see the welts. Said it would go away in a couple Hours. It took 4 days and it set off my eczema to boot. Won't go back to him.
Did not test for allergies I wanted tested brushed off most questions I asked and seemed to rush out. Was not happy at all now I have to find another allergist and pay again to hopefully get done what I wanted the first time.
