Idea of Care

I believe caring for children with heart conditions is a privilege. Every family who comes to me is placing their trust in my hands, and I honor that by listening closely, explaining clearly and making decisions together. I combine the best available medical evidence with a personalized approach because each child and family is unique. I aim to help parents feel supported and their children feel safe every step of the way.

Personal Interests

Dr. Yu was born in Shanghai, China, and has wanted to be a pediatric cardiologist for as long as she can remember. Her life outside of work is full of joy and adventure with her husband, their curious toddler and their playful cat. They love spending time outdoors, hiking, gardening, trying new activities, exploring snowy winter days or the water in warmer months.
