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 11/21/2019, Dr. Yu has reported no relationships with companies or entities.
she was pleasant and efficient but gave me no helpful suggestions on how I could make myself feel better
Dr Yu is wonderful!! My life was at a standstill because of my back pain. she gave me back my life.
thorough,friendly, efficient
Dr Yu has always been very nice, explains things so I can understand an is genuinely concerned about my condition.
I would love to have had a longer interview but, I had already prayed about my situation before the surgery and was repaired for home. I'm glad to share the opportunity. Thank you all. One more classy group.
Truly cares about my wellbeing
Dr. Yu is the best!
Always a great experience talking with Dr. Yu she treats you more like family than a patient.
This was my second back surgery that Dr Yu was able to give me relief from the pain. Now I'm in water therapy twice a week to regain strength in walking distance... I have hope now!
Dr. Yu is fantastic.
