I felt really rushed and then being a low income family I feel like they should've wrote prescriptions instead of just say buy it over the counter a 2hrs drive for a 4min visit could've had a telephone visit instead

It's not the provider at all it's the people before that point. I will be emailing my discrepancies! Not at all a good visit!

Dr. Yu is amazing. I trust his feedback and his treatment plan for my son. He is very knowledgeable and explains things in a way you can understand. I recommend Dr. Yu and any of the pediatric surgeons at Children's to friends and family as they each have taken great care of my son.
