Featured Review
?Dr. Yu is an incredible surgeon! I struggled with wrist pain and multiple surgeries from years of gymnastics and wear and tear of the cartilage. After meeting with Dr. Yu, I immediately felt confident that I was in the right hands. She is kind, extremely competent and keeps informed of the latest surgery techniques. She took the time to clearly explain all the possible courses of action for both wrists and to answer my questions. On the left wrist, she performed an ulnar shortening osteotomy and repaired a TFCC tear. A year later, she performed a partial neurectomy on the right wrist (de-nerving the wrist while still keeping full strength and range of motion) as an alternative to having to fuse the wrist. Both surgeries were a success and I can't give enough thanks to Dr. Yu and her entire staff! Everyone at the office in Berkeley and at the surgery center in Oakland are amazingly sweet and helpful. I would without hesitation recommend Dr. Yu to anyone in need of a wrist and hand surgeon.
