James R. Yu, M.D.

Great visit with Dr. Yu. As always, he was very thorough, reviewing and explaining my new x-rays and comparing them with those taken last year. We discussed additional treatment option and pros and cons of additional steroid injections. I never feel rushed and Dr. Yu is always a pleasure to see.

Great thought process to the profession and skill!

Dr. Yu is a very thorough and thoughtful doctor. I highly recommend him for any foot problems you have!

Very kind. Easy to work with on plan of care. Explained options. As a nurse, I appreciated his ability to explain options and give recommendations! Great doctor ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Phenomenal! Was very honest with me and did not try to get me to spend extra money!

Thank you Doctor Yu, and staff. I am very grateful that my surgery was a success, can’t wait to be able to walk normal in four weeks. Thank you again. Cherie

Dr. Yu is an amazing, caring ankle Surgeon and I am so thankful to have been treated by him over the years. He has a wonderful bedside manner and makes each visit comfortable. He is clear in his presentation of the injury or what is needed.. If I could have 10 stars, I would definitely click on 10!

Love Yu

I saw Dr Yu for what I suspected to be plantar fasciitis. He was very compassionate and took the time to listen to my complaints and throughly explained my options. I would definitely see Dr Yu for any future foot issues and would definitely recommend him to anyone with a foot issues.

Dr Yu is a great surgeon. He always informs me of what is going on and he explains things very well. He did a great job with my procedure and I am on the road of recovery.

Dr. Yu is fantastic. Always listens to the patient carefully; explains things in a way easy to understand.

Explains issues very well. Easy going and skilled surgeon. Very happy with the big toe fusion. Will also be a future patient for the other foot.

I sought a second opinion from Dr. Yu for my foot and ankle condition and am so glad I did. He took the time to listen, thoroughly evaluate my concerns, and explain everything clearly. His bedside manner was exceptional, and he showed genuine care and concern for my well-being. Most importantly, he provided an honest opinion and worked to identify the root cause of my issue. I left feeling heard, informed, and confident in my treatment options. Highly recommend!

Dr. Yu is an excellent surgeon and really cares about his patients. He has performed 2 ankle surgeries on me. Both went extremely well. I'm quite pleased with the outcome. His staff are all pleasant and accommodating. I highly recommend Dr. Yu if you want the best results.

I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Yu today, and my first impression was extremely favorable. Professional, kind, and genuinely attentive — the kind of person who immediately makes you feel comfortable and heard. It’s always refreshing to meet someone who carries themselves with both confidence and compassion. Looking forward to working with such a positive and caring doctor!

Dr. Yu is a fantastic physician. He informs his patients of options and takes the time to listen.

It was good to hear and learn about how my body is changing. It helped remove my fears of change. It was a very pleasant visit.

Extremely thorough.

Great Doctor. Very thorough and informative.

Great experience! Dr. Yu was great to work with and quickly identified a viable treatment for my issue.

Dr. Yu was informative, understanding and laid out an action plan for me. I highly recommend him.

My appointment with Dr.Yu was for a second opinion. He displayed a calming and courteous demeanor. He took the time to discuss my options and answered all my questions with supporting illustrations and verbal clarity. I was very pleased with my appointment.

Dr. Yu is a excellent doctor. TOA is excellent. We are very pleased and happy with our experience here

Dr.Yu was very straightforward knew what I needed. I am so glad I was referred to him by my Doctor. He is there for you 100%

Best Ankle surgeon around. I'm literally post injury 3 months today and I'm able to do most things I was able to fo before!

Dr Yu is very good at what he does and patient care!

Dr. Yu is knowledgeable, personable, and efficient. I would definitely recommend him. High marks!

Dr. Yu is great. He's very experienced, very detailed, and encouraging. I would recommend him to anyone in need.

My appointment experience was excellent from start to finish. The check-in process was seamless, and the assistant handled all necessary paperwork efficiently. I had a minimal wait time before Dr. James Yu arrived. Dr. Yu was incredibly personable, took the time to explain everything thoroughly, and answered all my questions without making me feel rushed. I highly recommend him; his easygoing, friendly, and reassuring demeanor made me feel completely at ease. A very caring and competent physician.

Down to earth. Explained everything very well. No pressure.

Dr.Yu takes his time to explain as much medical information that you want. He reviews all options. He is down to earth, friendly, knowledgeable and not arrogant.

Six stars out of five for Dr. Yu!

Dr. Yu and his team are highly competent. I underwent a lapidus bunionectomy on my left foot last year, and the results have met my expectations. I was initially hesitant and nervous, but after my consultation, I was prepared to proceed. The recovery period exceeded my expectations, but Dr. Yu informed me of this beforehand. I was extremely pleased with the results, which prompted me to undergo the procedure on my right foot. While I’m still recovering, the process has been significantly more manageable. I highly recommend Dr. Yu and his surgical team. Their expertise is exceptional and Julie is exceptionally knowledgeable and helpful.

I was a patient many years ago and returned recently due to a new injury. I would not go to anyone else for treatment. Not only is he the best, he cares and I trust him.

Everything was easy

10 out of 10 very professional nurses are great and the doctors are awesome

Dr. Yu is and always a great Doctor. Very knowledgeable, professional and always helpful on steps to do next for my best interest.

Everything. He is great!

Dr.Yu was very professional and knew what he was talking about.

Excellent care. Xray nurses are all great. Dr Yu explained all options and gave his treatment plan for me.

I just had another surgery on my foot, Dr Yu explained what I needed to correct my foot, and what options I had. Dr Yu has done several surgeries on my feet, each one has been a success. This current surgery was that getting older hammer toes had gotten rot rubbing on all shoes I wore, so again Dr Yu fixed them and I’m sure I’ll be dancing again in a few months. I throughly trust Dr Yu.

Dr Yu is amazing. I feel confident that we have agreed on a treatment goal that’s best for me. He sat down with me for over 20 min explaining my options for bunion removal.

When I moved from Madison to South Nashville, I changed orthopedic doctors at different TOA locations. Both Dr. Lapinski and Yu were attentive, helpful, and took time to explain the alternatives for treatment. My favorite question to ask when making a medical decision is, “If it were your family member, what would you advise?” Both gave me thoughtful and useful answers.

Dr Yu was wonderful! He was easy to talk to & gave me easily understood information about how to go forward with dealing with my plantar fasciitis. He didn’t rush me at all and answered all my questions. He was recommended to me from a client of mine that is a Doctor, and I would recommend him to anyone dealing with foot issues. I’m so glad I went to him. He was also in my insurance network and the front desk ladies were wonderful, too!

Very knowledgeable , answered all my concerns. Highly recommend.

Dr Yu was an excellent surgeon. He not only excelled at the surgery portion but his bedside manner was exceptional. I would definitely use him again; but, pray I never break my ankle again. I would not hesitate to refer him to others.

Dr Yu is a fabulous doctor. Man of few words but when he talks one wants to listen. I had bunion surgery and it went better than any experience/story I had heard.

Dr Yu is great! He did not make me feel rushed in my appointments and made sure I understood the details by answering any questions I had. He gave me honest feedback about the options I had for my ankle. We decided surgery was best option for me and my recovery has been way better than expected. He is a very laid back, honest guy who cares about his patients. Highly recommend him!

I’ve been seeing him for years. Always gives me all the options. What can be waiting on and how to best help the issue.

Dr James Yu is such an honest surgeon. Always telling what will work and what can wait to be done. He is the best.

Doctor Yu is a very professional and good doctor. But the paperwork checking in each time is terrible at t o a

He was very thorough and explained my options. He also explained why he wanted to try the least invasive option first. Let me make my own decision without pressuring me one way or the other. Explained my MRI to me in a way I could understand. This review is on Dr. Yu. I didn't realize the review didn't show which doctor I was reviewing.

My appt. with Dr. Ju was excellent he put medical words into layman's terms and also his PA Emeka was also great. Very pleased with my appt.

I had a routine follow up to my second foot surgery, and Dr. Yu was caring and honest as usual.
