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. Yu was very up front she couldn't help me but referred me to a rehab specialist and physical therapy.
Warm, genuine, got right to the point and conducted the exam and conversation quickly but thoroughly.
She was very professional; treated me as a professional which I am; talked to me in a professional manor; ask me sev. times if I had any questions about the surgery that she would be doing on my back.
Very good.
Answers to questions are always precise and clear. Dr. Yu spends as much time as you need, to understand concerns and answer questions. I never feel rushed.
Very informative and helpful
Dr. Yu told us the very first time we met her that I wasn't her patient, I was now part of her family and that's exactly how my wife and I are treated.
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.
