Cong Yu

I sincerely appreciate the time Dr. Yu took to holistically explain my neck and back condition. By reviewing my MRI in detail, he helped me understand the exact root causes of my pain-including both arthritis and disc issues-and laid out a clear, step-by-step treatment plan. Dr. Yu's thoroughness provided me with immense reassurance and ease of mind.

He ordered x-rays to rule out possible problems with my spine and pelvic area.i thought that was important.

Dr Yu was thorough and very knowledgeable. He explained everything to me in a very thorough and understandable way. I haven't had the best experiences with Swedish as a whole but this provider was much better than the the overall experience I've had

My care provider is excellent. I would not see anyone else. However when I called back to get an appt because the appt lady was not there I had to wait 3 weeks and Dr Yu wanted to do the procedure the next week. That I found unacceptable. I am in pain.

Dr. Yu is an outstanding specialist. I come from a different city to see him specifically. Dr. Yu has always been straight forward and honest with me (or any family members who may have accompanied me to the appointment). I appreciate Dr. Yu's approach, even if he "gets on my case" about getting care from regular doctors. (He was right to tell me to contact a doctor about a symptom that I was experiencing. There is an issue, and I may need surgery. He was right again.) I trust Dr. Yu in a way I have only trusted one other doctor (who is now retired). Dr. Yu is not only extremely knowledgeable, he has the most current, up to date information for any questions I ask. I have recommended Dr. Yu to 2 other people over the years with pain issues, and I will recommend him again if someone lets me know they're struggling with similar problems. Dr. Yu is the GOLD standard. I don't know that I will have another doctor like him in my lifetime. (Kind, knowledgeable, respectful, pushes back when… necessary, extremely educated, able to make concepts easily understood, organized, thoughtful, and trustworthy.) I also appreciate that Dr. Yu runs his office on a tight ship, and if I show up to my appointment on time, I consider myself late! Dr. Yu has also worked me into the schedule if needed (but that rarely happens). Swedish has been a great medical community, and I appreciate the rest of the staff as well.

I have always received good care by expert understanding and caring medical professionals at Swedish.

Everyone was absolutely fantastic! Dr. Yu made sure the procedure was as comfortable as possible. So wonderful!

Dr. Yu is a wonderful dr.

My care provider was personable, efficient, and spoke in an easy to understand manner. I would recommend him to my family and friends.

I've been in pain for years. This doctor didn't seem to understand I refuse to have nerve blocking needles stuck in my back or hip. He refused to prescribe me Vicodin which I haven't had in over 6 months, I retired from my job because of my chronic pain. Now that I'm retired I wanted to work outside in my yard, my pain is ridiculous. Can't do yard work for more than 10 minutes at a time. My primary Doctor referred me to this guy for pain management and he told me to get pain medicine from my primary doctor. Very frustrating
