Emily Yu, MD

Every single time my GF and I come here we arrive 15 mins early for our apt. and end up waiting almost an hour every time. Horribly inefficient office. Dr’s are nice and knowledgable but they need to figure out that people have lives.

Awesome OBGYN. The Mrs. and I recently had a baby and Dr. Yu was the one we visited throughout the pregnancy. Let me just say she was definitely what we needed; someone patient that was willing to answer questions (no matter how many), and always reassured us everything was fine which it was. Since this was our first, we had tons and tons of questions and never once did she try to rush through answering our questions or act as if she had somewhere else to go. There were times where we called in and she would call back even late at night. The whole process of pregnancy is extremely stressful, at least it was for me and having such a competent, terrific doctor made the process a whole lot easier.

Well, Dr. Yu may very well be a good doctor, but I just could’t get the assistant to make me an appointment timely enough. The scheduling policy is just too rigid. They don’t see women who are less than 8 weeks pregnant and if you are a new patient, too bad, you will have to wait 2 weeks to see her… I just can’t rely on a doctor who’s so selective about who she sees.

I went to Dr. Yu recently and she was great very kind and asked all the right questions and made me feel like she was really listening and caring and just all around great bedside manners for a doctor in this busy world we live in! She was great at referrals as well love this doctor!

Best OBGYN experience i’ve had in a while! Im so glad my friend recommended me to her. Dr Yu was on time, and the minute she walked in and introduced herself, I felt so comfortable. She was very knowledgeable, and when I had questions, she really took the time to explain and listen to me. She isn’t like other doctors that try to rush you out and makes you feel like just another job. Dr Yu was very thoughtful, her bedside manner was awesome, and she really made me feel safe and cared for. It’s a refreshing feeling when a doctor visit is great! Thank you Dr. Yu!

I picked Dr. Yu as we are expecting our first child and her practice delivers at the hospital we would like to give birth at (Mill Peninsula).
Dr. Yu has wonderful bedside manner and is a wonderful wealth of knowledge for me! She doesn’t ever rush you out of her office (many times I am her last appointment of the day). I always feel at ease and she is extremely personable and easy to talk to.
I am hoping that she is the dr that delivers the healthy baby (the entire practice rotates on-​call responsibilities). I have been so happy with her during the entire pregnancy visits. She really does put all of your anxieties about being a parent and childbirth at ease. Her nurse is also really great and easy to talk to.
My only complaint is that I wish the office staff was a little more friendly in person and over the phone. I know that it is a very busy office, but I haven’t had the best experience when I have had encounters with the office staff. To me, this isn’t a super big deal because you spend most of your time with the doctor and the nurse anyway. But, I wish they were just a little more friendly and welcoming like the doctor and her nurse.

Yeah, it’s probably too much freakin’ info. But she’s the best, really!
I’ve had a gyn who pressured me into taking a new birth control pill for the two years I saw her, and finally, the second time was the last straw for me. I had to leave! And no, I refused to take this new drug!
Not only does Dr. Yu have a GREAT bedside manner, but she’s super insightful and does her research and WANTS to help you in any way.
If the physical aspect wasn’t so grotesque to begin with, I’d see her on a normal basis, instead of annually. lol
Receptionists = friendly (& busy!)
The only thing that I have an issue with, and it’s minor, is how easy it is to get lost. haha

she’s so nice and very calm about everything. makes you feel totally comfortable and gives you all your options.

I went to this office originally looking for another doctor. Due to a schedule conflict, I was introduced to Dr. Yu. I was very lucky! She is very patient and calm when she explains the situation. She is also very compassionate and caring. I went through a tough time, but got through it with her kind attentive support. I felt like I was in good hands. She never rushes you out the door, and is very patient. She called me a few times outside work hours to make sure I’m doing ok. I think she is a great doctor!

She’s nice. However, this group has you rotate and visit different doctors in this office so when you go into labor, you don’t know who you’re going to get. I like Dr. Yu but the staff is extremely unorganized, rude and so are the other doctors. If you’re comfortable with having a random doctor deliver your baby when Dr Yu isn’t available then I’d recommend her but then you’d have to deal with the mean staff and mean doctors in this office. Also, the wait times usually ½ hour and one time I waited a whole hour after rushing to get there on time

I went in for an initial checkup with Dr. Yu and I’m already a fan.
I was able to get an appointment the day of since it was a little urgent. There is a parking structure next door which makes it easy to find parking. The receptionist greeted me when I walked in and handed me the paperwork to fill out. As soon as I turned that in, I was taken in to the exam room.
I waited about 5 minutes for the doctor to come in. We had a conversation and she was great at answering questions. She has a great personality and is very helpful.
I was in and out within 45 minutes.

New to this doctor’s office but already such a fan of doctor Yu.
The staff is generally pleasant but my experience via phone has been more pleasant then actual front office encounter.
Lily was Dr. Yu’s nurse when I came to visit for the first time and she was such a sweetheart.
Dr. Yu is very personable. She returns her calls accordingly and doesn’t rush you into decisions and definitely takes the time to make sure you understand what her diagnosis is and what your options are. She’s very thorough and compassionate and overall, just very real and politely forward.
Definitely recommended.

I love Dr. Yu, she is the best. She is the one doctor I feel completely comfortable to talk to about my «woman issues». She is knowledgeable and spends time to explain everything that is important or even minor to me.
I was also so excited when Dr. Yu responded to my donation letter for Team in Training, Leukemia and Lymphoma society. She is generous, professional, and personable. I am glad Kris Piacente who also works in this office referred me to her. Thanks ladies!

She is a FANTASTIC doctor and person. HIGHLY recommend!

Emily Yu is fantastic. She’s patient, understanding, caring and so far from what I’ve seen VERY good at her job. She is never rushed, always appears promptly and the staff around her are friendly and courteous. I am very impressed.
Also after a few irregular tests, ultrasounds, etc., she proactively calls me with the results to discuss — never waiting for me to call — or waiting for the next appointment. She calls after I’m sure a long day for her… very appreciative and it shows she cares for her patients.

Dr. Yu is wonderful. She’s polite, calm, efficient, and understanding. She does her best to make her patients feel comfortable and makes it a point to explain whatever she’s doing in understandable terms. Her staff is fun and courteous as well. I always hate going to the doctor, but Dr. Yu makes me dread it a lot less: D

Dr Yu was the on-​call doctor when I was in hospital in labor. I had never met her before but she was EXTREMELY nice. She immediately put me at ease and I felt assured that I was in good hands.
She listened to me carefully and was responded to my questions well. She is soft spoken and very sweet.
After a whole day of labor, I had to ultimately go in for a C– section and she was well aware that it was not my first choice. So she made extra effort to make sure I was comfortable and that it was the best medical decision given the situation. She was equally polite and warm to my parents and husband who were extremely anxious and waiting to know what was going on.
I would totally recommend her and infact switch to making her my regular OB.

She is nice and sweet.
Didn’t like the wait…(i hate that I have to wait AFTER i change to their gown… so embarassing and cold!!)
but after Dr. Yu came in, made some small talk with me, I totally forgot how long I had to wait.
The receptionist aren’t too nice, maybe cuz it was 3:50? ready to go home ladies?
Very encoraging, I like it.
