Good doctor but Great staff. Doctor very personable. Speaks very commonly and we did not feel pressured toward surgery. Great bedside manner from provider but even better staff. From the moment you enter the staff is friendly efficient and makes you feel comfortable. Highly recommend.
Dr Yu did a rare experimental surgery on my spine to preserve my ability to stand and walk!! He was amazing and did a great job! I had a 21.5 hour operation, his longest ever, and am walking with AFOs. Against all odds!! So grateful to Dr Yu and his amazing team!!
Dr. Yu changed my life for the better. I was in a car accident in 2019 and my back was royally messed up. All my doctors attributed my pain to a herniated disc in my lumbar spine, but they were wrong. I went to Dr. Yu for a second opinion and he diagnosed me with SI joint dysfunction. We chose to proceed with a SI joint fusion. I am currently 24 hours post-op and have ZERO pain. I used to live with a 6-7/10 on a pain scale and now my pain is gone. I'm 25 years old and I actually feel my age again. I HIGHLY recommend this surgeon.
