Patient Reviews
Apr 12, 2017
I highly recommend Dr. YU! From the start of the process he was very knowledgeable. He was straightforward and explained in detail my options and gave his recommendation. When I left I felt secure and confident that I would be able to take on this life changing event. I have gone from 345 to 155 after the sleeve surgery and now have stabled off at 175 which is a good and healthy weight for me. I would not have done this without Dr. YU!
