I can't speak highly enough or more highly of Dr. Paul Yu. He spent a tremendous amount of time with me, was very patient, he listened, he asked many questions, and he just really provided me with all the information and more that I could have needed or wanted about the conditions that I was there to be treated for. I was just so impressed with him and feel so lucky to have him as my health care provider. Thank you.

I have been visting with Dr. Yu for close to a decade. His advice has turned my health status into a point of pride. I was morbidly obese, smoking, drinking, and eating whatever was put in front of me. I had cardio issues that have now disappered. I highly reccomend the medical staff, Dr. Yu, and the rest of Mass General Brigham!
