4. PATIENT TESTIMONIALS • I just come off HIP replacement by Dr.Yu and feel great.The operation took one hour and went very smoothly." • "Dr. Yu replaced a knee prosthesis that had started to loosen and was causing a great deal of pain. The surgery was complicated and he was obliged to remove a large amount of bone to install another prosthesis. The surgery was in March 2009 and I have absolutely no problems and more important, no pain since then." • "Dr. Yu replaced a knee prosthesis that had started to loosen and was causing a great deal of pain.

Never had surgery before 1st time in 65 years. After less than 5 weeks I am walking and able to play golf. He is a great surgeon and I would highly recommend him. No complications and fast recovery. Only doctor in Las Vegas I trusted. I am not to fond of doctors. I felt really confident that he could do the job. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I would not go to any other doctor. Wife also goes to him for shoulder she has been to other doctors and finally went to Dr Yu he was first rate in helping her also. Don' go to anyone else.“ • Dr Yu is a great Dr...Not only is he great but the staff is awesome and very friendly. I know the Dr is a surgeon but his staff are the ones who get things done. I had my MRI within the same week and the process was very easy for me. I have NEVER EVER seen an office who gets along so well together and are very friendly and made me feel important. The office is always clean and the HUGE TV in the waiting room makes you not want to leave the waiting room. I HIGHLY recommend Dr Yu. THANK YOU!!! You guys are AWESOME!!!“ • Dr Joseph Yu did a WONDERFUL total hip replacement on my 86-year old mother. She felt very at ease with him. Just because she's a Senior, he still made her feel important. He will answer all questions & doesn't make you feel foolish for asking. He takes pride in his appearance as much as he takes pride in his work. I HIGHLY recommend him!!!" • Choosing a physician can be a very daunting task. Even more daunting when the patient is leaving town in 4 days to return to college. I cannot say enough about the courtesy, professionalism, and attention to detail that the staff at Dr. Yu's office demonstrated in regards to my daughter's injury. They are a reflection of Dr. Yu himself. He was caring and considerate in dealing with her concern. In addition, he understood the demands of distance running and the injuries that may result due to high mileage. The office itself is gorgeous and very easy to locate. We chose well."
