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.

Dr. Yu, saved my life. Thank you.
During tubal ligation my OBGYN Surgeon burnt 2 holes I my colon sent my home to recover even though I was in pain with no meds. Never return my calls for help with pain. Taken to ER 2x given morphine before admitted. Next morning taken into surgery, thank God Dr. Yu was in finishing up in the next O.R when the original doctor found that I was was infected and need emergency surgery they immediately called for Dr. Yu. I later found out that my original doctor suspected what he had done and still sent me home. I am so thankful for Dr. Yu and his team they continued to follow up and check on my care for months.

Dr. Yu is very good at giving thorough and complete explanations of your condition and the prognosis and procedure, and in a way that is totally understandable. He takes his time with you, being very caring and compassionate and answering all your questions. He is very intellegent and listens, noticing if there is family history or other concerns that may need more investigation. I will consider him first and definitely recommend him.

I went to the emergency room with bad stomach aches and serious nausea. I found out i had a blockage in my intestines. Thank God Dr. Yu was on call. He came in and seen me and told me i needed surgery, and it was probably colon cancer this was on a friday and had me in surgery on saturday morning which i thought was unusual. Surgery was done and all cancer was removed by Dr. Yu. This man was wonderful in the way he talked and explained things to me. Great Dr. and great person.
