August 30, 2025Maria C.Verified patient
Dr. Yu is a wonderful person. an excellent provider, very easy to talk to and through in her exam. The support staff is very friendly. The ZocDoc app does not work well with their internal system and should be dumped. It is best to use their office I-Pad to enter all PT information.

Dr. Jenny was great - she seemed super experienced in wound care, listened and understood my issue, and gave me a clear plan to resolve it. Need to give it time for this to heal, but I'm feeling more confident than I did after meeting other internal medicine and derm docs.

I had a short chat about my history with my condition and Dr Jenny covered everything that could be prescribed as a treatment, going from mild to heavy-duty medication. She let me have a final say in which treatment to go for, which, doctors let you do that? that's a first. Getting treated right away. Dr Jenny Yu is great.

Well up until today, I thought Dr. Yu was a seasoned professional until she told me "why doon't you just cut your foot off? Really? Dr. Yu I wouldn't even expect that from an intern! And I did let her know that her comment was highly unprofessional! I wont be back!
