Dr. Yu is great- she always keeps track of all my procedures and makes sure I follow up with all my appointments.

She stood by door entire time. Pretty judgmental voice and attitude. Not attentive, nor helpful. Find other PCP!

Dr. Yu is very thorough, and takes the time to think through all the possibilities before coming to a conclusion. She listens to your concerns, and doesn't rush you out of the room - rare and hard to find in a doctor these days!
August 14, 2017Chelsea A.Verified patient
Dr. Yu was the most inattentive doctor I have ever met. First off, I had to wait 1hr and 10 minutes for the appointment that lasted less then 10 minutes.. (even though I scheduled this 2 days ago). She did not check the medications' name that I recently used, even though I had them with me and expressed my concern that it might be the cause of my problem. She basically did not even greet me, no hi/hello, no apologies for waiting (and this was my first visit). While taking notes she was standing next to a door, so I felt like she wanted to just walk out, and she did at one point (!), because she held a package of meds and had to hand it over to someone, and she did that while I was talking to her and describing my symptoms.. she was out of the office for just seconds but it seemed very unprofessional, as I just felt I was not being listened to :( Dr. Yu might be much better with other patients, and maybe it was not her day, but for me that was the worst encounter with another doctor that I've had so far.
