Very good doctors can analyze the condition of the disease in detail, and can give a reasonable solution, can analyze the cause of the disease clearly, and can give corresponding solutions to the patient's situation. Therefore, I would recommend this doctor to my friends.
Saw another doctor at the practice. She was patient and showed genuine concern. Definitely one of the most helpful doctors appointments I have had. Front desk employees were also very friendly. Planning on coming back for future visits and recommending to my friends and family. Rare find for allergy issues! Was also able to point me in the right direction for other health issues.

They were unprepared for my visit. They didn't call to confirm my appointment. I in fact had to call twice to confirm. They never followed up like they said they would. I needed a referral that the informed me of while sitting in the dr's chair.

Verified patient
His front desk/nurse/assistant was great. Very professional, friendly, attentive. She gave this office some personality as Dr. Yu is straight to business which is good since he focuses on the patient. I also love, love the fact that he has appointment availability times.
The doctor didn't have much personality, and his staff was AWFUL, from the beginning, when making the appointment, right down to signing in, its like they didn't want to be there. Very unpleasant, I won't be back!
He was very courteous and knowledgeable he didn't make you feel like he didn't have enough time to explain things he helped us I would definitely recommend him
Verified patient
Dr. Yu was nice and knowledgeable!
Dr. Yu knows his stuff, but his bedside manner and compassion for how a patient is feeling and what they are experiencing is horrible! I feel it's important for an MD to connect with their patients in a more compassionate way and with sincerity.
Verified patient
I would not return.
He is very knowledgeable. No waiting time. The only recommendation is personality/likability on a pt to MD level. Very nice guy though. Recommend him.
He seemed to care about my past history as well as taking the right steps to evaluate my allergies properly. That was better than just being prescribed another medicine. I will be seeing him again.
Receptionist/medical aide was very friendly and warm! Doctor was informative, professional and thorough. Will continue with seeing doctor.
Listens. Nuff said
