    Couldn’t find information about treatment from previous dr

    I probably would not recommend Dr Yu, because one would never know when Optum would fire him.

    Would never recommend. Spent less than 5 minutes. Told me I had a mild heart attack ( further test and appt concluded I did not). Showed no concern. He mumbled and spoke very softly. Had to ask him to repeat several time. NO bedside manner. Does not well represent your practice

    He listened. He wasn’t judgemental. He asked questions and diagnosed my problem. Ordered test, prescribed meds and called me with lab results and instructions the following two mornings.

    Very good DR . To the point and honest

  • Jan 29, 2026
    Verified Review

    I felt I was just another geriatric patient he had seen. I don't think he took into account my prior experience with Dr. Veldanda when deciding what to prescribe during my latest visit. Two emails to his portal have been ignored!

  • Jan 28, 2026
    Verified Review

    this visit was very rushed. Rushed through answering my questions. He prescribed antibiotics which I opposed. Felt the visit was a waste of time

  • Jan 26, 2026
    Verified Review

    He did not listen to my concerns and even admitted the medication I was out on was not fit for me. Refused to change it because my previous Dr (from that practice) put me in that and he refused to change it. Told me to wait 6 months and then he will discuss
