In his practice, Dr. Yu most enjoys helping to prevent cancers and helping patients regain control of their lives.
Philosophy of Care
Dr. Yu begins by listening and approaching his patients with patience and understanding, always keeping in mind that every person and their GI symptoms are different so that he can tailor his treatments to his patients’ individual needs. Patients come to him seeking help, and Dr. Yu knows it is his duty to listen and guide them through some of the most vulnerable times in their lives.
Hobbies & Interests
When Dr. Yu and his wife are not exploring the Houston food scene, playing badminton or pickleball, or hanging out with their friends and/or cats, they love to travel and explore new places and experiences. “The world is so vast, and we are meant to explore and live in it!” he says.
