Cong Yu, MD

He was not talking much.

Didn't seem to take my being in extreme pain seriously. I thought I was going to the "Pain Clinic ". I have seen this provider a few times before and was always satisfied.

Excellent care

All of my visits have been very good and I will definitely recommend this team!

The provider I saw was rude upon entering the exam room. He said the only thing I have done for you is a replacement of my spinal cord stimulator because original provider was unable. He didn't know why I was referred to him. He ordered xrays and ct scan I believe yo determine if I needed back surgery but didn't listen to me that I can't have back surgery now.

Scheduling was a bit tricky because Dr. Yu is covering for another provider and so I called expecting to get seen in 3 months. However, I wasn't able to be seen for over 4 months because of that additional patient load. Dr. Yu is an amazing provider. I know his information in my condition is current, and he is always knowledgeable about upcoming devices or medication that could be used to treat my condition. I have absolute trust in Dr. Yu. He is always a professional and he is THE gold standard in medical care. My records are always up to date, I am told in advance if Dr. Yu will be out for any extended period of time so I can schedule accordingly. Dr. Yu always lets me know if another physician will be covering my case while he is out. My family loves Dr. Yu, and he has always treated them with respect if they accompany me to an appointment. Dr. Yu is the GOAT and I hope Swedish treats him well because he is the best doctor. Period. The receptionist staff are amazing. Most know my name, they never hesitate to provide assistance, and they are incredibly kind and hardworking. I also appreciate the medical assistants who start off the appointment. Most are truly wonderful, caring individuals.

Dr Yu stepped in when my Dr had to go to surgery and there was an emergency with my morphine implant. Once he was able to help me it was great. Communication about how long it would take to him to be able to help was hard. My service dog was in the car and they guesstimated an hour to do the rotator study. I waited more than 2 hours before he even came. I'm extremely grateful, just a heads up so I could make alternate arrangements would have been helpful.

Dr Yu is an excellent doctor. He uses a variety of techniques to treat my pain. I've only had good experiences.

Dr Yu was such a kind man. He actually listened to me and provided me with the medication I need to control my chronic pain. Thank You so much!!

I can't say enough good things about all of the carrot that I receive here at Swedish. I am 58 from a medical family and I have several chronic health conditions. I have never Had better medical care in my life!!

Does a very good exam to make a good decision regarding my medication or activities

I have been seeing Dr Yu as my pain management dr for a few years. I appreciate his knowledge and expertise. I feel that he listens, and especially on this last visit, explained things very well. I am glad that he is my doctor and would highly recommend him.

Received excellent care. Learned a lot from provider and trust him with my future appointments to come.

Everything was great

My doctor is great..

Excellent care from Doc YU. In general scheduling with Swedish doctors cab be challenging with long wait time.

GREAT DOCTOR!

I have been coming to swedish for more than 39 years. In the last year my care team has added a few more specialists making my care even better.

I've always been well taken care of by my doctor and his staff. I appreciate that they always run on time.

I always get the best possible treatment and I always get all of my concerns answered I have a great team working with me

Dr Yu friendly, professional, informative, and accommodating.

Love Dr. Yu!

Dr Yu took extra time with me to investigate and explain my condition and related symptoms. He also took time to look at a problem with my back and leg, which may be caused by the sacroiliac joint on my right side. He explained a lot about my conditions and helped mo to understand them much better.

Dr. Yu is a genius at this procedure. His staff take a personal interest, are kind, approachable, solicitous and professional. The reception staff are also every bit as kind and professional. They take excellent care of me, and want to help with any of my needs. I love the stuffing out of them.

Good Drs to see.

Dr. Yu is always very patient with me and answers all of my questions. I have been struggling with witnessing the death of my mother, and he has been very compassionate. I have actually recommended Dr. Yu to colleagues before. The entire team has always taken very good care of me. I have chosen to commute to see Dr. Yu versus someone local because of his knowledge and dedication. I trust Dr. Yu completely because it's obvious that he keeps up with current medical practices that are best for each patient. Dr. Yu has also worked with another doctor when I had surgery to make sure my medication needs were handled correctly. I can't say enough how grateful I am for Dr. Yu and his team.

I have been having a problem getting my insurance to pay for a procedure and Dr. Yu went above and beyond. He appealed my case three or four times, however, it was unsuccessful. I have new insurance and as soon as I called them, they got me ready for my procedure. I am having a spine stimulator battery replacement. I have seen a lot of doctors in my time and your guys office is the best. Just for a little bit of reference, I have had 17 procedures or surgeries since I was 19 years old, So I have seen a lot of doctors. Thank you.

Procedure was done with care and concern for pain level.

Excellent care always

I truly appreciate his care and understanding of what care is needed for me to get out and about with minimal pain. He's been my guardian angel for over 8 years now and I truly trust him with my life

Very good

Dr. Yu is highly trusted in our family having take care of two different generations. He listens carefully, asks pertinent questions, is up to date with new information, is honest about what he can and cannot provide and what he thinks will be the best treatment. I greatly respect him and his judgement.

Dr Yu & his staff are amazing, always professional and compassionate.

Dr is awesome

Dr. Yu and his staff were very thorough and also made sure that I was comfortable.

Very pleased with my care provider. I always brag about how I wouldn't go to anyone else.

Exelent service

Provider has a brusque manner, does not seem interested in patient's input.

Dr. Yu and his staff are knowledgeable and compassionate. The level of care with Dr. Yu and staff is top notch. I would recommend them to anyone I know.

Dr. Yu has made a noticeable difference in my life. No prescription medicine for over a year. I have a life back... Dr. Yu has gotten more personable to me and I really enjoy talking with him. Thank you

Doctor yu is a good man and a great doctor.

I was pleased with the care I received.

He was kind and know what he was doing. This was a very good feeling.

All good

Dr Yu seemed to be in a rush and very condescending. HeTalked in medical terms which was hard to understand. When asked what that is, he seemed annoyed and although he tried to explain it was not heart felt. He seemed to be a good Dr but his manners and personal nail treatment will prevent me from following up with him.

It's always nice coming to this doc's office, everyone is so professional and helpful.

Dr. Cong Yu conveyed exceptional understanding of my unusual responses to anesthesia and pain. He did so in a comprehensive manner, integrating somewhat disparate components, rather than using only a siloed approach. He showed me he was listening intently and willing to engage in crafting a strategy for my unique circumstances. I have been very pleased with the outcome In the first area I chose to address: my arthritic knees. I have not experienced such relief in years. I look forward to addressing each problem area. Dr. Yu is a gift I hope all can appreciate.

I thought Dr Yu was very professional, kind and answered my questions.

Dr. Yu was great - clearly knowledgeable and experienced in my procedure, which eased my nerves a lot. Friendly and businesslike, got things done with no fuss while still being empathetic to my needs.

Dr. Yu and his staff have always treated me with respect and courtesy, even when I have been in pain and not in the best mood. I would highly recommend Dr. Yu to anyone who needs a pain specialist.

Dr Yu cuts to the chase, which I love. I want to know about my test results and options going forward. He provides that quickly and is open to discussion of my options.
