I can only refer to Yu as my previous dentist. My experience with him was quite negative. I have pieces of certain teeth coming out, as well as caries in all but about 6 teeth, all with pain. i was coming to him for my obvious problem = consult & prophy. As far as the prophy goes, he used the ultrasonic device on about 8 teeth, leaving the others untouched. He said he never saw anything like what I have. He has no idea what to do about it. So, he was going to call or write to my insurance co. to get me into UCSF Dental School Clinic, my regular doctor, and someone else that I don't recall at the moment. He sent me on my way. Now it is one month since I've seen him, and he did not contact anyone. He charged me a copay, despite the fact that my insurance does not have a copay for a consult and prophy; i.e., it's free. Suffice to say that my insurance co., a dental HMO contracts only with dentists who either have no reviews or those like this guy. The other reviewers were accurate as far as his antiquated facilities. He doesn't even have Nitrous Oxide! His English is terrible. What a mess. So, I then see my regular doc who sends me to an oral surgeon associated with the large group that he's in. I saw the oral surg., & it's all bad!
