I’m 54 and this was my 1st colonoscopy. I was procrastinating this procedure for the past 3 years and finally decided it’s better to find out now rather than later. Dr. Yu made the entire procedure very easy to understand and his staff was very professional. They explained the entire pre-colonscopy procedure about the clear liquid diet. The most uncomfortable part was AFTER drinking the Miralax solution. I liked mixing the Miralax solution with a white grape sparkling water rather than Gatorade. My procedure was schedule at 8:30am at the Specialty Surgery Center(very nice). The surgery center preparation process was great. Dr. Yu’s nurse came in and wheeled me into the procedure room. I didn’t remember the procedure which is the best part. Great sedative whatever it was. The last thing I remembered was saying hi to Dr. Yu as he came into the room and then I’m waking up in the recovery room with my wife sitting next to me. No soreness or pain or memory of the procedure. Upon checking out, I received a 3 page report with color pictures. A few hours later it was lunch at Ding Tai Fung. No need to delay your colonoscopy — all that apprehension for nothing.

Dr. Yu is awesome. He has been taking great care of my parents. All procedures went smoothly and stress-free. Easy to schedule and everything is explained so well that the patients actually understand what to expect. Office staff are friendly and extremely accommodating. I accompany my parents to every doctor appointment since they speak no English. So I know. And I’m a big fan of Dr. Yu. Highly recommend!

Dr Yu is a very professional, knowledgable, and most important of all honest Doctor. I had the same procedure done in the past with another Dr and Dr Yu made the same procedure infinitely easier. I highly Highly recommend him

*I highly recommend Dr. Fang Frank Yu! * I am 51 years old and this is my 1st Colonoscopy. *I went to Dr. Yu for a Colonoscopy after I had interviewed 4 other Doctors. *This procedure was very stressful to me and had a lot of concerns. *Out of all the Doctors I felt the most comfortable with Dr. Yu and his staff. *His office is up to date and is all computerized. I was at several Doctor offices where they are still using the paper method! Writing notes on the front of manila file folders! *Dr Fang Frank Yu staff was efficient, professional, personable and had all the systems down. *When I asked for a copy of my records it was emailed to me within 2 hours. *Meeting Doctor Yu was very enjoyable. Nice bedside manners, good sense of humor, listens, took his time with me, had a large 3 dimensional chart so he could explain how the body works and what are all the pros and cons of the procedure. *After meeting with him, I spoke to the coordinator and she scheduled the surgery date and showed me in detail what I needed to do to prepare for surgery, where to go, time, what to wear, how to do the cleanse before surgery, etc…(It was also written in detail on paperwork that I could easily understand and follow). * Surgery Day: I woke up scared and apprehensive. * Arrived at the Surgical Center on time and the waiting room had a nice atmosphere and was very clean. * Everyone preparing me for the Colonoscopy was great, very professional, and explained what they were doing before they did it — I started to relax. * The atmosphere in the area was very friendly, cheerful with nice teamwork. * Loved the 2 hot blankets the nurse covered me with! *Dr. Yu met me one more time before the procedure and I felt very, calm and reassured. He definitely knows what he is doing! * He was very aware of everything going on and I could tell that he has high expectations of the people who are working with him. He wants everyone to have their systems and procedures performed to the highest degree of professionalism and accuracy. * All I asked was that I do not want to feel ANYTHING(I’m a baby when it comes to pain) and that is what happened! Even the IV was practically painless! * Last thing I remember before«going out» was looking at the monitor. * When I woke up I was looking into the most handsome face I have ever seen… my boyfriend! * I was given a 3 page report with pictures of my Colon and a diagram of where the picture was taken. The report was easy to read and very informative! * Since my operation, the surgical center has called me twice to make sure that all is well. * I highly recommend Dr Frank Fang Yu!
