“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.
