Deborah Yu Md's Online Review Report Card

Absolutely horrible experience. Got up and left before even being examined. Upon waiting for the doctor in the exam room, I noticed that the machine in the room had not one, but TWO used condom rings on the cords for the ultrasound machine. You could even see where they had torn near the ring of the condom. Absolutely disgusting. I was so upset I immediately got up and left. My only regret is I didn't take a picture. I got up and left after seeing this. I directly told the Dr. why I was leaving and took my records with me. She tried to explain how they double sanitize everything and apologized. It was evident she knew that this was unacceptable. I would have been a new patient, but definitely not after this experience. Extremely disappointing after I had a referral and waited three months for this appointment. In addition, the front desk area was a mess, stacks of files everywhere and near the scale where they had dumped more stacks of papers and clutter. Exam room was dusty and worn down. Be warned.

Simply, she is an amazing doctor!

Dr. Yu is an awesome dr extremely professional but at same time humble ,She communicates with me and takes time to sit down and explain lab results answers all my questions and concerns , she is the best! every gyn should be like her with their patients. Thank you dr .Yu I will you keep you as my gyn from now on. God Bless

If you want to get the worst customer service and rude nurse you came to the right office. We switched insurance companies just to see this doctor and because the nurse never mentioned it was only for Gyn, we are now have to start our search again for a OBGYN. If you have HMO this is a very complicated process. Thanks to the person I called at 10:45am on 4/18/2022 which was no help to me and my wife.

Glad to have Dr. Yu delivered my first and only baby. She talked slow and calm and always asked if I have any more questions before ending each visits. I never felt rushed. She's a busy lady that would call me herself on small little things on a Sunday night when I expect a receptionist to do so. She really worked around the clock. I delivered my son at Methodist at 7 am and she's been around since 4:30 am. I did have a smooth pregnancy in the beginning but it turned downhill around the later stage. My baby's neck was wrapped with the umbilicard cord "like a scarf" around a month before my due date. He was a "sunny side up" baby to begin with. If he did get back to the right position, it would be advantageous to my delivery but pose more danger to his neck since the cord may be twisted one more time. Fast forwarded a month later, when I was admitted to the hospital on a 7cm, the contractions would alert the nurses to rush in to my room because my baby's heart rate also went down with it. It was really not the best experience, but I believe during that one hour of pushing, it was Dr. Yu's skills that made me not needing to get an emergency c-section since I was so close to it. Possibly because of the cord, my baby's oxygen had dropped to a point I had to deliver with an oxygen mask (that was before covid). If I remember right, she used her hands to twist my baby back from "sunny side up" back to the right position carefully so I was able to deliver naturally. I was glad to have not went with a medical group, but instead signing up for one good and skillful doctor and received that much needed support/reassurance every step of the way.

She is a smart, honest, and thoroughly did my examination.

Being a patient of Dr. Yu's is like seeing an old friend. I hadn't been to her office in years due to needing services at City of Hope but it was as if no time had passed at all during my visit today. She greeted me warmly and took her time discussing my medical history and concerns she had. She asked me throughout my visit if I had any questions. Dr. Yu is a caring, thorough practitioner. I referred my daughter to her practice and she is currently a patient of Dr. Yu's sister, Michelle (she has rave reviews for her, too). The staff is a rare find, as they are also very welcoming and friendly. The woman at the front desk was just lovely, as well as the woman who took my vitals. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Yu for ob-gyn needs.

Pros: Parking is ample and easy, front desk was very nice, Dr. Yu answered all my questions quickly and efficiently, quest diagnostics is next door to get your tests done right after your visit. Cons: not many, except they don't have like an online portal or something to check your status of tests- they called me and left a message to call back, and it made me nervous, and when I had time to call it was just to say everything was fine. LolSo for me, as a larger woman I always get comments about my weight and that the root of all my problems was my weight (there is fat bias in medicine, and studies show that doctors won't order tests or get specialists bc there is a bias against fat people) but she didn't even mention any of that. Which I was surprised because I get weight comments for every doctor. (I didn't get diagnosed with adhd amd ocd for 30 years because of it, a doctor refused X-rays on my broken toe when he knew I had a hockey stick slammed on it)Anyways, Dr. Yu spoke really fast, and literally got to the point and answered everything and did a full thorough exam WHILE EXPLAINING EVERYTHING!! Typically most doctors just poke and prod you and leave before you can even have a chance to speak. Some people might not like this, but for me, this is the type of communication I like. Quick, and to the point. If you aren't someone that likes that then I suggest you get a different practitioner. I work in healthcare too, and we are always pressed and forced to see as any patients as possible so the fact that she did the exam and explained everything, answered like 4 questions and had ability to introduce herself and make small talk is a miracle and a testament that she's a good doc. I also have to mention that this was the least painful PAP I've ever had, because she actually used the right size equipment, and the most thorough pelvic exam- as in she really pressed against my belly to feel the pelvis vs others that don't go deep enough so they're just pressing on my tummy fat but not past it.

I, unfortunately, am one of Dr Yu's patients. She gets very annoyed when I ask questions or have concerns. I called last week for simple reassurance and she would not talk to me over the phone. Instead, she made me go through my insurance for a "tel-a-med" phone conversation. This is an example of a doctor who only cares about the money and not one ounce of actual caring for people and their health. I will be changing doctors promptly. So disappointing.

Dr Yu is the best OB! She was also my sister's OB and we both love her. I've never waited for more than 15 mins for each visit. She's so patient & caring and makes sure to answer all your questions.
