Why do other urologists refer patients to Dr. Yu?

I refer all my prostate cancer, kidney cancer, and bladder cancer cases to Dr. James Yu for several reasons. First and foremost, he is an expert in his field of urologic oncology and has outstanding surgical results. He is a true wizard on the DaVinci robotic system and the highest volume robotic surgeon in the North Bay region. Dr. Yu is able to deliver excellent outcomes without the headache of patients having to go an academic medical center. Second, I always receive great feedback from my patients that have been treated by Dr. Yu. They rave about the great patient experience and his exceptional bedside manner. When I refer my patients to Dr. Yu, I never have to worry whether they will be well taken care of.

– Dr. Robert Chan

When I refer a patient to Dr. Yu, I know they will be receiving state-of-the-art care, yet with a personal, compassionate touch.  Dr. Yu combines surgical and clinical expertise found at tertiary medical centers with a concierge-style patient experience. I’ve been extremely impressed with the outcomes after prostate, and kidney cancer surgery, in particular.  He is highly recommended.

– Urologist

James has truly exceptional natural gifts as a surgeon, and speaking as one who was introduced mid-career to robotics, I can appreciate all the more the tremendous skill and the calm, thoughtful technique that he brings to every operation and every patient.  He has achieved remarkable surgical outcomes for hundreds of patients I have asked he to care for over the years we have worked together.

– Dr. Patrick Bennett

Dr. Yu provides outstanding patient focused care for complex Urologic disease. He is accessible, attentive and compassionate. My patients report to me they are treated respectfully and thoughtful attention is taken in their care. Dr Yu’s surgical expertise  allows my patients with complex cases to have care locally without the challenges of negotiating large academic centers.

– Dr. H.S. Khaira
