Highly recommend Yu Orthodontics to anyone looking for top-notch orthodontic care!
My son’s orthodontic journey was long and very complicated, involving several phases of treatment. We began at Aspen Hill General & Cosmetic before Dr. Yu opened his own practice, and two other orthodontists at Aspen Hill had already worked on my son’s case. By the time Dr. Yu took over, the treatment was still incomplete.

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.
The braces were easily put on by Dr. Yu. Great service nice practice. Was a very seamless experience for my daughter. And she now loves to smile!

I would definitely recommend this clinic to anyone looking to fix their smile.
