Dr. Annmarie M. Yu, MD

"I don’t usually write reviews, but given the circumstances I feel it’s my obligation as a mother. My daughter is almost 10 years old and we have been using this practice since newborn stage. Never had an issue until our recent visit. Saturday, I took my daughter for her yearly physical, and since then my daughters happy, confident personality has been shattered. Our visit was with Dr. Annmarie. Everything was fine till she mentioned my daughters weight. My daughter is a little chubby but by no means unhealthy. Dr. Annmarie told her she needed to lose weight, and to stop eating carbs. My daughter started to cry her eyes out, I was trying to comfort her, hoping the Doctor would see the pain and hurt but instead she continued to lecture this sobbing child about been overweight. I failed that day as a mother, I didn’t protect my child. Since that visit my beautiful, happy girl, has become obsessed with calories and what she’s eating , she’s trying to weigh herself 2-3 times a day. She’s sad and constantly crying saying she’s fat. I fear that something was mentally triggered that day and my daughter is heading for a downward spiral with an obsession with food and weight. Clearly a medical degree doesn’t make you smart, and doesn’t mean your capable of treating young impressionable children. As the days past, and I see the pain that this so called Dr has caused, I’m angry. And I will do everything in my power to expose this, so no other little girl or boy will suffer at the harsh words of Dr.Annmarie. What’s more damaging to a young girls health… a few extra pounds… or an eating disorder with a negative body image? Please, mother to mother, reconsider your choice in pediatrician."

"From just a few weeks old our daughter had GI issues. From the moment I expressed concern to Dr Annmarie she listened, believed me, and truly went above and beyond to help get the best care for our daughter. She and the specialist she sent us to were God sent. Whether it has been for regular check ups, sick visit/video, or after hour concerns, Doctors Annmarie and Robert Yu, have both shown time and time again that they are doctors for the right reasons. Both have a fantastic, easy to talk to demeanor and bedside manner."
