Other Healthcare Provider - General

“Dr. Yu is one of the best provid...”

Dr. Yu is one of the best providers I have ever had. He is extremely knowledgeable and able to explain procedures in a way that is easy to understand. Although Dr. Yu has may patients, he made the effort to learn my name and review my medical history during my appointment. Dr. Yu has an empathetic bed side manner that is calming. He spends time listening to my health concerns and asks reflective questions to make sure that he understands my concerns fully and accurately. I feel that Dr. Yu advocates for me as a patient and I would highly recommend Dr. Yu to any of my friends of family.

“Dr Yu is an excellent physician ...”

Dr Yu is an excellent physician and I'm grateful to have him on my care team

“Dr. Cong Yu is amazing. He is st...”

Dr. Cong Yu is amazing. He is straightforward, exceptionally knowledgeable and patient-centered. I have referred and will continue to refer his team to my friends in my age range (50"s) suffering from aches and pains that they shouldn't have to.

“He ordered x-rays to rule out po...”

He ordered x-rays to rule out possible problems with my spine and pelvic area.i thought that was important.

“My care provider is excellent. I...”

My care provider is excellent. I would not see anyone else. However when I called back to get an appt because the appt lady was not there I had to wait 3 weeks and Dr Yu wanted to do the procedure the next week. That I found unacceptable. I am in pain.

“Dr. Yu is an incredible pain doc...”

Dr. Yu is an incredible pain doctor. He is very clear on any information he gives me. He listens to me and understands. In the last 6 months since I I had an MRI that showed there were granuloma on catheter in my spine. Dr. Yu and his team have gone above and beyond to see to my comfort And have been very patient though there were multiple contacts in the past 6 months. When my MRI report came in it went to my chart. Within 10 minutes of the report getting to the doctor he was on the phone with me.Some people say he's not very caring but I do not find that to be true.He is very clear and concise, empathetic And caring.

“Dr Yu discussed my health issues...”

Dr Yu discussed my health issues with confidence and certainty. He was honest about my condition and I now feel like I know what's wrong, what treatment options there are and that there is a plan going forward. It's taken several years and multiple visits to multiple different specialist types to get a clear understanding of my problem. I can now not only participate in a treatment plan but importantly, have information that allows me to make informed decisions and to understand what I can expect in coming years.

“I sincerely appreciate the time ...”

I sincerely appreciate the time Dr. Yu took to holistically explain my neck and back condition. By reviewing my MRI in detail, he helped me understand the exact root causes of my pain-including both arthritis and disc issues-and laid out a clear, step-by-step treatment plan. Dr. Yu's thoroughness provided me with immense reassurance and ease of mind.

“Dr Yu was thorough and very know...”

Dr Yu was thorough and very knowledgeable. He explained everything to me in a very thorough and understandable way. I haven't had the best experiences with Swedish as a whole but this provider was much better than the the overall experience I've had

“Dr. Yu is an outstanding special...”

Dr. Yu is an outstanding specialist. I come from a different city to see him specifically. Dr. Yu has always been straight forward and honest with me (or any family members who may have accompanied me to the appointment). I appreciate Dr. Yu's approach, even if he "gets on my case" about getting care from regular doctors. (He was right to tell me to contact a doctor about a symptom that I was experiencing. There is an issue, and I may need surgery. He was right again.) I trust Dr. Yu in a way I have only trusted one other doctor (who is now retired). Dr. Yu is not only extremely knowledgeable, he has the most current, up to date information for any questions I ask. I have recommended Dr. Yu to 2 other people over the years with pain issues, and I will recommend him again if someone lets me know they're struggling with similar problems. Dr. Yu is the GOLD standard. I don't know that I will have another doctor like him in my lifetime. (Kind, knowledgeable, respectful, pushes back when necessary, extremely educated, able to make concepts easily understood, organized, thoughtful, and trustworthy.) I also appreciate that Dr. Yu runs his office on a tight ship, and if I show up to my appointment on time, I consider myself late! Dr. Yu has also worked me into the schedule if needed (but that rarely happens). Swedish has been a great medical community, and I appreciate the rest of the staff as well.
