I always feel well taken care of, and it’s clear they truly care about their patients.
Highly recommend Yu Orthodontics to anyone looking for top-notch orthodontic care!
What impressed me most is that Dr. Yu continued my son’s care free of charge, even though he was starting his own practice. Any other orthodontist could have said, “Stay with your original doctor,” but Dr. Yu stepped up and took full responsibility.
The treatment that was expected to last two years stretched into almost four, yet Dr. Yu was patient, attentive, and meticulous throughout. On September 11, my son finally completed his treatment, and the results speak for themselves, his smile is beautiful.
I am forever grateful for Dr. Yu’s compassion, professionalism, and dedication. He truly goes above and beyond for his patients, and I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for an orthodontist who genuinely cares.
