      This is the second time Dr. Yu has treated me. The previous time was 15 years ago. I purposely asked for her. She's excellent at her work and extremely compassionate.

      Dr. Yu made an extra effort and did the procedure, something many doctors don't do. I really appreciated that and I see why she was highly recommended. She is not only a highly skilled doctor but truly cares.
