His office staff is outstanding As well as Dr. yu.He explained everything he was doing while placing the implant the small amount of pain was in numbing the area he was very reassuring during the procedure.I will gladly recommend this office to all my friends on Southwest Parkway and in Westlake area I cannot say enough about how well run the office is and how kind and sweet the staff in his office are and so welcoming.

I love Dr Yu,Valerie, Leslie & Angie, all the staff are absolutely amazing!!! I had extensive oral surgery with them. I'm going to be a patient for months to come as they take me through the implant process. I'm so thankful my holistic dentist in marble Falls Dr. Steuart Nunnally referred me to Dr. Yu !! For a stressful event in my life: I could not go to a better person or literally be in a better person's hands! thank you so much to Dr. Yu and all his wonderful office: you make a difference.!!! read more

After having a couple of procedures after years of dental problems, they have been the best to work with. Even though I hope your mouth is not terrible, I would recommend them if you need help. read more

Leaving this review on behalf of my brother who resides in Austin. This is his experience - I did my homework and research to find the best provider for my needs. On Friday January 22nd I called Dr Yu's office to schedule an appointment. I was told by Ashley that I must have a referral by a general dentist to see Dr Yu. This was not about insurance because Dr Yu does not accept insurance. I told her that I was 100% sure I needed periodontic treatment and asked if the office would make an exception to see me without a referral. Ashley said no. So that same day, Friday, I set up to see a general dentist even though I knew it would be an extra step that would cost me EXTRA TIME and EXTRA MONEY. I had x-rays, measurements and an exam done by the general dentist and what do you know.. I need periodontic treatment. So with referral in hand on Monday January 25th I use the website / email platform to make an appointment with Dr Yu's office. After a number of hours have passed I did not receive a response from them to schedule me for an appointment. I didn't want to wait any longer so at this point I decided to call the office. I again spoke to Ashley and told her I have a referral from a gen dentist. She proceeded to tell me that she can schedule me with Dr Yu's partner Dr Litizette. I said no thank you. She again tried to sell me on the other doctor stating she has worked with Dr Yu for 12 years. I told her I would really prefer Dr Yu. That was my whole reason for doing the research prior to calling. That was also my reason for jumping through hoops and once again spending extra TIME and MONEY to get a referral from a gen dentist which in my opinion is an unnecessary step. Ashley put me on hold and then told me that Dr Yu is not seeing new patients. She also stated he is only doing surgery.. which I need for the recession that is occurring. She also stated he is only taking advanced cases. I respect every one of these things. The issue I have is: why was this not told to me during my initial call on Friday before I started your little process of jumping through hoops? Nobody likes wasting time, money or energy. I'm very disappointed before even stepping in the door. read more

Need an implant for a missing tooth. When spending a few thousand dollars on a procedure that should last a lifetime, a second opinion is a must. Unfortunately, the office refused to schedule an appointment without a referral. I offered to send a picture of a missing tooth to prove my need of a consultation, but my offer was not accepted. Referral was not really an option as I did not want my dentist know I'm shopping around for the procedure. Glad your business is doing well to turn away potential clients. I'm sure another surgeon will be glad to take the business. read more

Erin is an Amazing dental hygenist. If you need perio maintenance, I highly highly recommend her. She is very thorough, gentle, and knowledgeable; and she takes her time to clean your teeth properly. Even flawsing when done. 10 stars read more

By far the BEST care not only by the periodontists but the hygienists as well. My procedure for a standard deep cleaning was done with very little discomfort. The staff's greetings are warm and friendly and the general office atmosphere is excellent! read more

Dr. Yu is the best doctor of any specialty that I have ever encountered in my life. I've been to him twice now for surgical procedures & those are never fun. The second time was much less scary bc I knew I was in the hands of a master with such a lovely bedside manner. I always feel like I'm 5 and it's the first day of school and Dr. Yu is that one teacher that makes all of your cares melt away. When he talks to you, you just suddenly believe that everything will be ok! I've never felt so little pain during a dental visit--he's got the magic touch. 100% Recommend! read more

I was very nervous to get my procedure done, but Dr. L made me feel so comfortable in asking questions about what the oral surgery would be like and how hard the recovery would be. She called to check on me and made me feel so comfortable throughout the whole process from start to finish read more

Scheduling coordinator and Office Manager are difficult to work with; uneducated and poor customer service. Unfortunately this can adversely effect Dental Treatment read more

Dr. Yu is just amazing. He has done two surgeries for me (a gum graft and extraction) and both had perfect results without complications. What he does is an art and his precision makes the healing process a breeze. I've only had to take ibuprofen with both surgeries for pain control because the discomfort was so minimal. When I had my wisdom teeth out years ago by a different doctor the pain was SO much worse than what I've had with Dr. Yu's procedures. I think he's just that good. Everyone in his office is very professional and friendly and you get the sense they really enjoy their job and care about you. If I ever find myself needing any kind of oral surgery in the future I wouldn't even think of going to any other doctor. read more

I had bad experiences most of my life with going to dentists, so I waited long intervals between visits. I found myself in a situation where I needed help with a broken tooth, bleeding inflamed gums and facing future bone loss. I was referred to Dr. Yu and he said he would make sure I had a good experience. He did that and more. I could not be more relieved and today was my 2nd visit. Lesley and the whole staff made this visit amazing. I am actively replacing bad experiences with such good care. Everyone is so kind and you can tell they really like their work. I just can't say enough good things about every person I have been in contact in this office. They have taken every conceivable measure to ensure everyone is safe- special medical air filters, reduced the number of patients they are seeing at a time, every detail covered to protect us. Please, do yourself a favor- Call and go see them. read more

I have spent 40 years going to dentist and one of the best is David Yu. He and his office are a Class Act in every facet of dentistry. And believe me I know a lot about dentistry! On the receiving end that is. He has the expertise, the kindness , the compassion and complete excellence in professionalism . I will not go to any other periodontist . read more

Dr. Yu is an amazing doctor. He is very professional, kind, thorough, and honest. He answered all my questions, and took his time during my appointment. His staff is wonderful as well. I would highly recommend Dr Yu. read more

I was referred by my mother in law and also by my neighbor who is an endodontist and who is also a patient of Dr Yu's. The staff is kind and attentive. It's a smooth operation. Dr Yu is extremely outgoing and attentive and you can tell that he enjoys his work. I had a tooth extraction today. It was seemless. No pain during operation nor afterwards. I'm extremely satisfied so far. I recommend Dr Yu's services. read more

Dr. Yu and staff did a GREAT job at making this a wonderful experience for a trip in a dental chair for implants, informative about what to expect and what options I had for implants. Hope to never have to do this again but if I did it would be with no one else . read more

One of the best dental experiences ever. I was seen minutes after walking in, and Aaron and Lesley were as nice and professional as could be, explaining everything along the way. Then Dr. Yu came in and treated me like an old friend. Brilliant experience, highly recommend. read more

I truly love this dentist...his fantastic staff, his big happy smile, his professionalism. There is not one negative about my experience. I had a small gum surgery several weeks ago and it was easy peasy. And if Holly A. says "F*ckin' A", then you know he's a winner. His nurse plunked me down in a comfy cushy chair, I wore a soft cloth over my eyes and listened to the Bee Gees on headphones. Two people fussed around in my mouth but I was trying not to think about what the hell they were doing. I just grooved in my head to "Stayin' Alive", "How Deep Is Your Love" and "More Than A Woman". It was over in about 35 minutes. Do not hesitate to see this fantastic Periodontist and oral surgeon. As my holistic dentist said, "There is no one better in Austin. He's at the top of my list." read more

Fuckin' A. That's right. Freaky gum surgery and I am ready to happily write about it. Why? Dr Yu is not only an exceptional periodontist, but he is an innovative artist utilizing the latest techniques that make other periodontists look like they just came in off of a dinosaur. Add to that his warm, sincere and respectful demeanor and you'd think you're having a drink with your best buddy at the bar. I am still in awe at the professionalism shown by Dr Yu and his staff; they are beyond caring, orderly and thorough. Absolutely superb all the way around! Oh, and the surgery - a breeze, and the results - beautifully PERFECT. read more

Yu da man, Dr Yu! Nobody looks forward to oral surgery, so I'll cut to the chase: Dr Yu is handling a molar extraction/implant procedure for me, and he is one schmoove dentist. I literally haven't felt any more pain than two Tylenol could take care of. And bleeding? That's so 20th century! After the extraction, sure. For the first few hours I had to change the gauze in my mouth. But after my implant procedure yesterday, there has been none at all. Believe the hype. Dr Yu really is that great. His staff is the real deal. Oral surgery? Pfft! Ain't nuttin' but a thang. read more

i got my gum graft from Dr. Yu more than a year ago now. i remember when i was considering getting it, i went online and read a lot of HORRIBLE HORRIBLE stories about how bad the surgery hurt and unsuccessful surgeries. i was definitely freaking scared. but since i gave Dr. Yu 5 stars, you have to know that it was the best surgery i've ever had :) no joke and no exaggerations. i opted to take the triazolam (pill) instead of the IV anesthesia based on price purposes. i think the pill was significantly less than the IV. the whole surgery took about 3 hours (i was awake but not lucid during the surgery) and afterwards, i had the best sleep EVER. where can i get more of those pills? jk...........somewhat. but the sleep did not happen before i scared some people at HEB with my crazy ramblings about mashed potatoes and my bloody retainer. during the recovery period, i kept waiting for the pain to kick it but it never did. at all. not even an itch. i panicked over the weekend (got my surgery on thursday...was able to go to work the next day) because i could feel some of the stitches. i called Dr. Yu on saturday and he was nice enough to return my call to reassure me that the graft is ok. Dr. Yu and his staff showed great care and professionalism and I am SO glad I decided to get my surgery done with him. afterwards, his team sent flowers & i thought it was a very nice touch. http://www.flickr.com/photos/alovelychristmascarol/489365114/ read more

Dr. Yu and his team are rock stars. Seriously. Hands down some of the best customer service I have ever had. I was referred to Dr. Yu by my regular (and also super awesome) dentist Dr. Hulse to have an implant done as one of my teeth supporting a bridge was no longer viable enough to maintain the bridge. From the initial consultation a month ago, to my implant yesterday morning, to my recovery today... it has been smooth sailing. He sectioned my bridge to remain one crown to stay in place, did the implant in the missing middle spot, and removed the back no longer viable for a bridge tooth which eventually will need an implant done. I was OUT through the entire thing and don't remember any of it! :) Dr. Yu and his team are efficient, professional, caring and 100% know what they are doing. The office is super clean and the room where I had my implant done was sterile and they did everything they could to make me feel comfortable (heated blankets..... so nice). Dr. Yu personally called me last night to see how I was feeling and the office even sent flowers today with a note wishing me a speedy recovery (SUPER thoughtful and a much appreciated touch!). I was EXTREMELY anxious about getting this procedure done because i am a big baby about pain..... and I am very surprised how little pain I have had since the surgery. The staff are super concise in giving you good after care instructions and making sure you understand them. I will need to have additional implants done which due to the cost (alas, they are expensive which is a major drawback in general) and while I may have stretch the implants out over time due to the expense, I will most certainly only go to Dr. Yu to have them done. HIGHLY recommend Dr. Yu and his office to anyone needing this kind of work done. Thank you!!! read more

I was given an unfortunate prognosis about a tooth I accidentally harmed. I killed the nerve by hitting it with a bottle. Dr. Yu and his team meticulously walked me through my options, and ultimately performed my extraction. I was immediately seen by Dr. kunik's team ( same business park ) and had my Invisalign tray with tooth put in to create the perfect aesthetic. I'm so pleased with the team from reception, billing, and the surgical team. 10 out of 10. I give my very highest recommendation. These are great people. read more

Dr. Yu is a class act and the staff is very thorough. My dad was a Periodontist for over 20 years, then taught dentistry at a reputable higher ed institution, and I worked in his office when he had his practice. I'm familiar with the ins and outs with this type of field. If my opinion matters to anyone, I would ignore any negative reviews. You are in good hands with this practice. read more

This entire office is fantastic. Everyone that worked or spoke with me was nice, courteous, and kind. I've had some bad dental surgery experiences in the past but Dr. Litizzeette and her assistant Adee (not sure on spelling) put all of those fears to rest. I had a soft tissue gum graft done. The surgery was quick and ended up being a positive experience. I'm excited to see the results in a few weeks. read more

I only wish all doctors were as excellent as Dr. Yu. After a failed surgery that required initial bone grafting and eventual removal of the failed implants with another local oral surgeon, my dentist recommended me to to Dr. Yu knowing that he practiced cutting edge techniques. Not only did the implants successfully take, but my recovery time was much easier and shorter. As a periodontist, Dr. Yu is very conscientious of the aesthetic outcome and ensures the work is done perfectly. His office staff is highly competent and friendly, his office equipment/setting is new, clean, and inviting. His bed side manner is comforting, he answers all questions, and his after surgery care shows true respect and concern for the individual. I can't say enough good things about his practice. He may be higher priced than other providers in town, but he's worth every penny. read more

So far, I have just had an exam/consultation with Dr. Litizette. She was kind, knowledgeable, thorough and really seemed to consider any options that might be open to me. I experienced trauma to my mouth as a result of a traffic accident. It is both comforting and encouraging to know that I am working with a professional who has the expertise to make the most beneficial recommendations for me. read more

Dr. Yu and his entire staff really are the best! I've had nothing but amazing experiences and he was able to get my teeth and gums healthy and back on track when it seemed nobody else could. I will always be appreciative for the gentle and skilled work he does. read more

Who wants a gum graft!? NOT ME! When I had to have one and my dentist's entire office swore I had to go to Dr. Yu for it, I was scared to death of the pain, the scariness of the surgery, all of it. Dr. Yu and his staff are incredibly professional, friendly and calming. I felt like I was in good hands the entire time. After the surgery, Dr. Yu himself called to check on me and remind me to take my painkillers (as if I needed a reminder). I have a feeling had I gone with a different periodontist, I would have ended up in much more pain than I did. And imagine my surprise when a couple of days after the surgery I got a delivery of flowers from the office. It was such a nice touch and very representative of my entire experience. I wouldn't go anywhere else for this kind of surgery. read more

The entire staff at Dr. Yu is very friendly! Consulting on procedures with Dr. Letizzetti, her assistants and practice managers felt very comprehensive, kind and caring! read more

I came in today for an impression to go forward with oral surgery next week after an initial consultation with Dr. Yu prior to this appointment. I am so impressed with the efficiency of the office. I was in and out in least than 10 minutes. I feel that the doctor and his staff is very caring and thoughtful. I truly appreciate this type of professionalism. read more

Dr. Yu, or Dr. David as my daughter calls him, was WONDERFUL! My daughter is 7 and she had to have surgery on the strip of muscel under her top lip. The whole staff was so kind, they kept her from being scared. The entire experience was very pleasant. Thank you so much Dr. Yu! read more

I'm happy with the work Dr. Litizetti did for me. She administered the anesthetic with the least pain I've ever had--yay! Thoughtful and professional, I would use her again in a heartbeat. I'm healing just like she said I would--I appreciate that! I'm very pleased! read more

Wonderful periodontist! I met with 3 periodontists before deciding on Dr Yu, and I'm so glad I did. Another periodontist thought I needed a lot more work than I did, and Dr Yu agreed. He performed a wonderful job on my grafting. Dr Yu and his staff are the most professional that I've seen in Austin. I can't recommend them enough! read more

Dr. Yu and his staff are the best!! He is highly professional and I have been incredibly pleased with the periodontal work that he done for me. As a bonus, he is one of the most pleasant doctors I have ever had - he is always smiling and it reflects genuine caring for his patients. But well beyond his personality, the work he does is outstanding. As a result, he retains his quality staff at all levels who have happily worked in his practice for many years. Can't say enough about all of them. Perhaps I'm motivated to write this review because they told me today that I have "graduated" from needing periodontal work after 10 years!! But the weird part is that I feel sad because I will miss Dr. Yu and his staff. Don't hesitate if you have the opportunity to work with him and his staff!!! read more

Dr. Yu and all of his support staff, from front desk to clinical, were unbelievably helpful, friendly, and reassuring throughout my entire visit including being very accommodating of my tight work schedule and high levels of anxiety! I will never fear getting periodontal work done from now on knowing that I am in the very best hands! read more

I only had an exam / consultation with Dr. Yu, but was impressed. I had a referral from another dentist, but after the exam, Dr. Yu felt that I would be better off with a different option and he gave me a great referral to an oral surgeon. His staff called the surgeon up and got me an appointment right then - that made my life much easier. Everyone was friendly and efficient, I'd recommend Dr. Yu and his office. read more

I am so glad I went out of network in order to have Dr. Yu do my gum transplants. The procedure did not involve any more pain than a filling (about all I felt was the injections) and I did fine on just nitrous, avoiding anesthesia that my insurance company does not cover and the need for a ride home. He has a great chairside manner, very soothing and gentle. I felt more like I was being pampered than operated on. To my amazement, Dr. Yu himself called about three hours after I got home to check on me and answer any questions, and he encouraged me to call later if anything cropped up. The whole staff was very nice and incredibly accommodating. I also had a periodontal cleaning some 5 weeks later with some high-tech devices, no pain at all. My insurance company messed up bigtime in giving the estimate of what they'd pay ahead of time, and when I went in for the final visit they just handed me a check for the amount I overpaid because Humana Dental is so lame. The results were great, I can't wait to show off the grafts to my regular dentist. read more

I went to a dentist before who misdisagnosed a problem tooth for two months. By the time I saw a specialist, it was too late to save the tooth. You know those bad dreams everyone has about losing their teeth? Well mine was coming true. However, Dr. Yu and his awesome staff have made the experience much more pleasant so far. Awesome things: -Everyone who works there is extremely nice and helpful, especially Dr. Yu -They are very clear about the procedure you'll be having and explain it very thoroughly, including the pricing -The office is clean, state-of-the-art, and aesthetically pleasing -They have stuff like goggles/headphones you can wear to watch a movie while they work on your teeth, which makes it much less stressful. -You can tell that Dr. Yu is very up-to-date on all of the newest technology and techniques in his field and utilizes them with his patients. I've just had the extraction/bone graft, and still have months ahead in my implant procedure, but if it goes anything like my experience so far, I think I will be very happy. It's not cheap, but for something like a tooth that you'll need for like 50 more years, it's worth it. read more
