Great Doctor very detailed communication. Takes her time to make sure I understand everything that’s going on with me explains all possible outcomes and directs me to who I need if it’s out of her area of specialty. A lot of doctors don’t do this so I appreciate her professionalism
February 7, 2024Rosemary F.Verified patient
She is a very nice doctor. I do recommend her.
November 8, 2023Zina Y.Verified patient
Dr. Yu is phenomenal. I don’t say that lightly. She is warm, funny and excellent at her job. I have never experienced such wonderful care. I went in worried and anxious, she made me feel at ease immediately. She took her time and went above and beyond to treat me, giving me an ultrasound and amazing referrals. She informed I didn’t actually need surgery and pointed me in the right direction to find the appropriate care after a terrible car accident. She is a surgeon you can trust. I hope she knows how rare and wonderful she is. The office staff was pleasant and kind as well. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.
