About Me
I specialize in caring for patients with spinal conditions in my role as a physician assistant in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. My job includes performing thorough physical exams and assisting surgeons in the operating room. I routinely care for patients with degenerative spinal issues, conditions like scoliosis, acute infections and sports-related injuries.
I am a good listener and I prioritize patient education. My patients can always rely on me to answer their questions and ensure they understand their condition and all treatment options.
In addition to my clinical responsibilities, I am a member of several Ohio State committees focused on improving efficiencies and enhancing patient care. I also help train future providers as a clinical preceptor for physician assistant students.

ALL GOOD
Very nice
Very good.
I have no c/o. I have been very pleased with my experience with the staff.
My appointment with this provider was one of the best experiences I've had at OSU in the past 15 years. He listened to and addressed all my of my concerns and questions. He explained things in an easy way to understand and wrote I formation done for me. He didn't rush through the visit - it felt like he genuinely cared and wanted to help.
I received bad news about my doctor leaving the practice when I am about 6 weeks away from my surgery. I was shocked and completely thrown off guard but the NP Donnie Miller was very helpful and understanding of the dilemma. He processed it with me and helped through what to do now in case Dr. Kahn was not able to do my surgery.
I had to make this appointment prior to my surgery, and then I was informed of tests and information that was needed immediately.
Every provider on Dr. Yu's team is top notch and thorough. They are knowledgeable and kind.
Nothing bad!! Everybody great.
