Dr. Yu is an exemplary psychiatrist. He is responsive, caring, and flexible in his treatment - qualities I have found to be rare. He was patient working with me to find the right medication, something I had previously struggled with. In addition, he helped me with loss and enriched the present immeasurably.
Dr. Yu is fantastic. I’ve been seeing him for med management, which we have been able to do remotely. Dr. Yu is so kind, compassionate and very caring. His confidence in me helped me to achieve some life goals and he has helped me with my medication regimen but he has always listened to me and been open to my suggestions, which is a wonderful quality in a psychiatrist and hard to find! He is an amazing doctor, truly caring, helpful, skilled, very knowledgeable and compassionate.
