What a wonderful surgeon and caring man. His office staff is wonderful and they really know what they are doing. He carries the Center of Excellence rating. He is the head of bariatric surgery at Victory hospital (where he did my surgery) and they are out of this world. I highly recommend him and the hospital.

Dr. Yu requires a full program of testing, nutritional training, psych eval, and follow up after the surgery. 2 week pre-op liquid diet and a reasonable progression in the post-op diet.

One little story that convinced me that he cared about me as a person. Without prompting, at the pre-op meeting, he gave me the prescription for the liquid hydrocodone for pain and zofran for post-op nausea so I could fill the prescriptions and have them at home waiting for me after the surgery. No waiting at the pharmacy in pain on the ride home. I thought that was very thoughtful.

Dr. Scarborough is the best. This is my second surgery with him. He did my gastric band first, but I didn't loose enough weight so I opted to go back and get the sleeve. Both times he was incredibly attentive and sweet!

I am in the early stages of getting prepared for a Revision surgery by this Dr. I met with him this past week and immediately felt comfortable. I was amazed at how at ease he made me feel. I am so excited about the thought of getting a revision and getting back on track with my weight loss.... I have not had my surgery yet but as of now I think Dr Scarborough is a wonderful person...

Dr. Yu has been great throughout the whole process. Anytime that I had question he or his staff was always there to assist. At first I was thinking twice about having the VSG done. But after research & information that I received from Dr. Yu it gave me a change of heart. If I had to do over again I would & have the same doctor.

Dr. Scarborough seemed professional and to the point. Over time, he seems like a warm, caring doctor who is very well qualified. His office staff is excellent and so helpful. His program is set up with nutritionists, a psychiatrist, and a warm friendly staff. He is a strong advocate of after care and has a great program that involves supplements and nutrition counseling. He is very honest and open with the risks of surgery. He trains other doctors on laproscopic surgery techniques.

First impression of Dr.Yu My My My Beautiful....Dr.Yu always told me what and how to do things and I would never listen to him, but one day I listened and his encouraging words have me at 148pds. down from 240pds.His staff is just wonderful. Future patients should know that Dr.Yu is a more "up to date/young/understanding surgeon"and not to mention a very knowledgeable surgeon. He has a 100% cover all rate with me and his surgical & bedside manner was great!***Dr.yu thanks to you my BMI is NORMAL***

love him; so kind and compassionate.
he always made me feel comfortable. i am in a same sex relationship and he was always kind to my partner and included her in everything. the office is beautiful and staff very friendly. i do usually have to wait about an hour when i see him.
aftercare has been fine; lots of education prior to surgery. his surgical competence is second to none; he and his partner pioneered the single site laproscopic procedure. he went in throug my belly button. the only reason he had to do one higher incision is because i am 6 ft tall. his bedside manner is wonderful. looooove him.

office staff? super helpful
least like? nothing
what should future patients know? dr yu is very laid back, approachable, supportive, candid, and makes you feel like you are the only one in the room.

My first impression of Dr. Scarborough was he is a BIG TEDDY BEAR! He is attentive and thorough. I have had nothing but positive experience with his office. They have been supportive and infromative. I never have had long waits in the office and even if I did, I wouldn't care because the view from the office is BEAUTIFUL. I reccommend Dr. Scarborough 100%!
