Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

re. I strongly suggest finding a different provider.

Very good experience!
Dr. Yu showed his expertise in the filed, more importantly, the empathy for his patients who probably already suffered from the physical pains. I highly recommend Dr. Yu after visiting multiple doctors in past few months!

Dr. Yu is caring about my concerns and shows great patient to explain and makes sure I understand. I visited Dr. Yu at Tustin location about a weeks go, his assistant over there is also very friendly. Comparing with back to 2019 when I did my GI and Colon Endo at San Canyon Location, I feel warm from this office staff .

Very disappointed with Dr Yu and his staff
My mother went in for a CT scan due to her having severe pains in the abdominal area. Dr Yu & his staff never contacted her after that. After nearly a month went by, we as her family contacted Dr Yu's office. It took a few calls to get the results, then they tell us she has 2 large masses on her liver! And they just forgot to tell us?? Very unprofessional and not what we expected from a Hoag doctor. Within 2 months my mother passed away, painfully as well. How could this office and Doctor fail to let another know with these results? It's completely unacceptable!

Excellent operation and good communication
I did both endorse- and colonoscopies on 8/19/2022. The operation started at 9:21AM before the appointed 9:30. When I waked up, My brain was clear and Dr. Yu told me that there was no polyp found in my colon and no bloody spots was found in the upper and low parts, some biopsy samples were taken and a new exam would be acted on my small intestines in about one week, I fully remembered all of these words. The recovery of my body after the operation was good.

Dr. Yu is an agile and perceptive doctor. He first saw my husband in the summer of 2020, when he had advanced cancer. Despite his hectic schedule, he asked my husband to do a COVID-19 test in the same afternoon and arrange an endoscopy procedure in the next 2 days. Dr. Yu is a kind and attentive doctor. In the past two years, my husband’s cancer cells had once been under control, but they came back, and they are again under control. During a follow-up consultation with Dr. Yu a few weeks ago, he said, “It’s so nice to see you.” He repeated it a few times. We knew that he was thrilled for us from the bottom of his heart. Since my husband has minor ulcers, Dr. Yu, in addition to prescribing medication, also took the trouble to list all the items of food my husband should avoid during our visit. My husband follows Dr. Yu's advice at home, and his digestive system does get better. We thank Dr. Yu for his help over the years and pray that God blesses him with good health so that he can con

Horrible experience. The staff I spoke to gave me the run-around. Julie is super rude. I had surgery amd my surgeon order STAT procedure for the next day and DR Yu office made NO effort in scheduling me. They told me to go for office Vidor. When My surgeon Was telling me I need to be scheduled ASAP. They obviously dont care about their patients health.

Terrible! I had a failed colonoscopy Where I was having a lot of pain during the procedure and instead of him talking to me about options- he just ended it and said I would need to reschedule! The prep for a colonoscopy is so difficult-I don’t want to reschedule-I want a doctor who talks to me and works with me as his patient! Maybe it is because I was his 7th and last procedure of the day and he was ready to go home.
