I've struggled with psoriatic arthritis for 20 years. I have been on every medication, including…read moremethotrexate and biologics. Although some of these medicines worked for a while or had no effect on me, I realized that I pretty much gave up on myself. After spending a month in the hospital and nearly losing my kidney functions I decided to get a second opinion. I found Dr. Yu and he put me on a path to health that I forgot existed! He opened my eyes to a quality of life that for 20 years I had been seeking! I give him all the credit for my reinvigorated life and he, being the humble man he is tells me, " you did all the work!" I have my life back and feel only joy, a joy that has replaced my pain! Thank you Dr. 1000 times thank you! Appreciatively, Alex Ibarra

Having been diagnosed 2 years ago with RA and being on drugs that left me feeling like I traded…read morepain for constantly feeling crummy with GI issues among others, I found Dr Yu who not only suffered with his own autoimmune disease but is extremely well credentialed as a Board certified Rheumatologist, (also Internal Medicine, Functional medicine and Integrative medicine). He is empathetic, brilliant, available and unlike so many traditional Rheumatologists who check the box from a list of drugs, thinks outside the box to try to help with alternatives to harsh drugs to possibly reset or treat the disease symptoms in a way that works best for each individual patient. He has given me hope and sometimes that alone is worth its weight in gold. I have been able to significantly reduce the amount of drug I am on and feel more like my "normal self". I am eternally grateful for Dr Yu. J
