Patient Reviews
Oct 24, 2025
My had been through 2 surgeries years ago, & had gotten to the point of needing to be replaced from unilateral to a total. I had been warned it would be more difficult than my other total knee done on my other knee. I found Dr Yau & was very pleased with his care. A year later I’m working out, & walking well. He & his staff were all great.
