Patients commend Dr. Cong Yu for his exceptional care and expertise, frequently noting his professionalism, thorough explanations, and empathetic approach to managing pain. Many appreciate his ability to provide understandable information about treatment options and his dedication to patient well-being, even going above and beyond with insurance issues. However, some patients report negative experiences, citing a lack of friendliness, perceived impatience, and condescending attitudes during consultations, which left them feeling dismissed and unlikely to return. Overall feedback highlights a strong divide between those who feel valued and well-cared for versus those who experienced unsatisfactory interactions.

The doctor was not friendly and came across as rude. I would not be coming back his office or recommend him.

I was able to get an answer because I happened to call when someone had just cancelled. The doctor came up with a diagnosis within minutes. He's every knowable and talks to me in a respectful way which I can understand his findings. I think he's just wonderful!
