Patient Reviews
Oct 05, 2016
Dr. Yu performed emergency surgery on my 87 yr old father approx 2 weeks ago. I had a question and he happened to walk past stopped and listened to me. He went into the room and checked in on him. It wasn't why he was there but he took his time to answer and give reassurance. For that I'm grateful. Not to mention my dad goes home with me Thursday! Thank You Dr Yu.
