Cong Yu, MD

Dr Yiu, is awesome, he is very helpful and knowledgeable, a good listener.

Dr Yu has been my chronic pain doctor for over 10 years now and I feel that he's one of the best doctors I've seen since my initial injury back in 1999. I have recommended him to others I've known

I was worked into Dr. Yu's existing schedule for this appointment. (I don't always remember to schedule my appointments right away. The staff graciously worked me in. As usual, Dr. Yu was able to get me in earlier than my appointment time due to a cancellation. The staff is so kind and understanding, and I deeply appreciate them. Dr. Yu listens to everything I say and answers all my questions (even if I don't always like the answer.) I trust no other doctor the way I trust Dr. Yu. He has the latest information, is able to answer any curveball question I may ask (sometimes I hear about possible treatments that I wonder if they could work for me), and I am 110% confident that he knows exactly what he's talking about. Dr. Yu always asks how things are ( and even asks how family members who have come to my appointments in the past our doing.) I lost my mother and Dr. Yu said kind things about her and was genuinely sorry to hear about her passing. I know if Dr. Yu mentions new treatment options, he's done his research and I trust him. Dr. Yu gives me his full attention, and asks more than once each appointment if I have any further questions or need anything else. I travel a bit of distance to see Dr. Yu, and I won't consider seeing another doctor closer to me.

I was very happy with the care I received at the pain clinic. Dr. Yu was very thoughtful and generous with his time.

I have never had a bad experience at any of the swedish facilities.

Showed me my neck MRI and explained the biggest problems. Went over a treatment plan. Came away feeling more knowledgeable about my biggest neck Issues.

The nurses that helped with my visits were and are always amazing! I wish I knew their names so I could give them the credit they deserve!!

Dr. Yu was very kind and excellent at her job. She and her nurses were very helpful to me with my issues of with vertigo. It was appreciated.

Always professional and kind

Dr Yu suggested that the MILD procedure was not appropriate to address my lumbar stenosis. He Indicated endoscopic surgery is My best option and the UW Pain Center has qualified doctors. He referred me to them.

Very knowledgeable, kind and understanding. It was a first appointment And he listened to the problems I have with my back to pursue a course of action.

Dr. Yu is very concerned about my current medical issue.

It's always a pleasure to see my provider, good bedside manners.

Good

Dr. Yu is extremely good at what he does. I have recommended him to several other people and I trust him very much.

No personality, he did not care about my health issues. He was rude and spent maybe 5 min. With me.

This provider was absolutely right about what he said and did and I appreciated him very much

First time here, everything was fine.

Dr Yu takes great care of me and gives me many options for dealing with my pain. All of my experiences have been good.

Good provider

I have always found my care and concerns have been good!!

The doctor was not friendly and came across as rude. I would not be coming back his office or recommend him.

Dr YU facial expression was, sometimes, of somebody that was being bothered

All professional and friendly

I would've liked to be able to talk to the doctor after the ablation

Not a good appointment

I was able to get an answer because I happened to call when someone had just cancelled. The doctor came up with a diagnosis within minutes. He's every knowable and talks to me in a respectful way which I can understand his findings. I think he's just wonderful!

I have neuropathy Nerf pain on my side from repeated shingles. At my last appointment Dr. Yu and I came through the decision to do a nerve block and had to send the info into my insurance company for approval. This past week has been extremely painful, debilitatingly so. I called Swedish and they have been enough to get me into a doctor's appointment to get this done the first of next week. I feel like they really do care and have the patience interest right where it belongs in first place

Very unpleasant. It seemed to me that the Doctor didn't like some of my answers to his questions. Although I answered them honestly????

Provider called 2 hours after visit with updated information & instructions. This was not expected. Provider had further looked into my situation. Impressive

Post procedure, on going.Great so far, with some difficulties getting the Stimulator Implant dialed in.Healing fine, working with manufacturer's representative.

The doctor did not seem to have any empathy or care about my situation

This provider did not want to see me. He clearly did not want to listen to my issue or address my concerns. He was condescending and made ridiculous comments about my condition (saying that pkd mostly effects men and doubting my concerns with it) he did not offer any solutions and while he said he would preform the previous procedure I had with a different dr he clearly did not want to and I wouldn't let him inject meds into my back with the terrible attitude he had. I was offended and will not see him again and will make sure that my dr who referred me does not refer the practice again

Having had prior back injections ans some acute issues afterwards. This team has done the best job reducing the amount of acute discomfort compared to all other previous groups for similiar procedures. Thanks for getting me in even with it being christmas eve, happy holidays.

Its always good!

A patient should never hear their provider-especially a pain specialist-say "your pain isn't that bad." Dr. Yu was disrespectful and condescending and failed to listen to my concerns. I was made to feel as If I was not worthy of his time. This was my first and last appointment with him. I hat at a disappointment.

Dr. Yu is the best. He has my pain dr on and off since 2006. His knowledge has just gotten better along with experience.

Always good

He was very professional and kind

Excellent explanation of visit. Listened to my complaints

All good

Dr Yu is always helpful! He's the best.

I called after going to a pain doctor who seemed to have no empathy and cut me off as I answered his questions. The staff says it is a regular complaint internally and externally. I called after my appointment to report to whomever what an unprofessional manner my doc had. Please call !

All was good except for lengthy wait time from first appointment to final procedure.

Dr. Yu is very thorough and his experience and skills are very evident to me. I have had this type of procedure from others and Dr. Yu spends more time and asks for more feedback.

Dr. Yu is excellent w his explanations. It's easy to understand so I feel I can make good decisions about my health care.

I have been seeing Dr. Yu for almost 20 years. I have recommended to others. He is an expert in the care I need, kind, funny, and really cares about his pts. His staff are all great.

My first experience was great - I felt respected, heard, and left with a good plan!

Dr Yu and all the staff are personable, Knowledgeable, and professional. They care about patients.

My experience was not only informative, but gave me hope that I have someone on my team willing to go beyond just information. The doctor was knowledgeable, nonjudgmental and spent time looking at my medical records and considered possible solutions/ treatments.

The doctor was awesome. He gave me answers without asking questions and without using lingo or couched language.

The doctor was amazing

Everyone is very concerned about the situation and it seems to be going very well

I was impressed with the Dr as well as the nurse. I was informed what to expect, after care, all my questions were answered and overall excellent communication and care.

Dr. Yu is the worse doctor I've ever been to. He was inconsiderate, condesending, did not listen, and was downright rude. One would think that since he was with the pain clinic, that he would have a little empathy for his patients and would listen to them. I would NEVER go back to him for anything!

I was treated with respect and everyone was professional and kind

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.

Good

Bad

Dr. Yu always takes his time with me. He really knows pain medicine.

Dr Cong was very kind and informative

Dr Yu and staff are always courteous, professional, and respectful.

Thank you for the nice care.

I am extremely fortunate to have a knowledgeable and very caring group of doctors (primary care and specialists) who work as a team to care for me. I am thankful

Dr. Yu and his staff are amazing. I always felt heard and well cared for at every visit.

I was very late to this appt. And Dr Yu still made time to see me,exellent service in my opinion. Thank you

He seems impatient with me

This provider was very knowledgeable and explain things clearly I was impressed that he had reviewed my medical records and had options for me. I feel very confident in seeing him again.

Very patient team. Kind and courteous

He listened to me and we decided on a course of action.

Very thorough doctor
