First of all, I like Dr. Yu! He listens extremely well and then uses a language explaining things that a regular person has no trouble understanding. I believe him to be a very conscientious and sincere person. Then you can add he is also extremely knowledgeable! Staff at TOA is also friendly and helpful. Great place to go for excellent care.
