About Me
As an orthopedic surgeon at Ohio State, I specialize in the treatment of spinal disease and disorders. Some of my clinical interests include spinal stenosis, herniated discs, degenerative disc disease and degenerative scoliosis.
I take the time to develop relationships with my patients and choose treatment options based on what is in their best interest. I work to improve their quality of life by exhausting all treatment options before considering surgery. When surgery is needed to treat a patient, my team and I are here to provide the best possible surgical care.
Working at Ohio State is great because of the friendly and compassionate environment. My job also allows me to work with amazing and talented physicians.

Consulting and Related Relationships
At The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, we support a faculty member’s research and consulting in collaboration with medical device, research and/or drug companies because a faculty member’s expertise can guide important advancements in the practice of medicine and improve patient care. In order to provide effective management of these relationships, the University requires annual disclosures from all faculty members with external interests related to their University responsibilities.
As of 11/01/2020, Dr. Yu has reported no relationships with companies or entities.
Dr. Elizabeth Yu has always shown sincere kindness, compassion & care. If I ever need further spine surgery she is who I will see. She has referred me to another doctor for my shoulder & I am confident the doctor will be a good one!
I feel very nice because my care provider is very nice and polite.
Dr. Yu was exceptional.
Excellent care!
She is wonderful.
Good.
Top notch A-1.
great dr who shows concern about me and is thorough & professional
All good.
She was very thorough with the exam, once it was known I wasn't a surgical candidate I feel I was dismissed pretty quickly & passed on to my family provider.
