Dr. Yuelin Xu, MD

Long wait. No bedside manner. Do not trust his diagnosis or clinical skills.

I don't know if this could possibly be a cultural thing, the Foctor Xi waltzing into my appointment with an Entourage you to other people who he did not identify, barely looked at, and brushed off my issue as signs of typical aging. He was not very courteous at all, which is fine I guess, but he certainly made me feel foolish for coming in, and he did not show me very much respect at all. The wait time was not bad, about 10 to 15 minutes, but that's about the only positive thing I have to say about my experience with this doctor.

I went in for my annual skin cancer screening. He did a very quick look at my skin before telling me everything is fine and I don't need to come back next year unless I have concerns. I've had two atypical moles removed in the past, my mother has had two melanomas, and I'm in my late 30s with many moles and freckles. What's his threshold for who should get screened?

I wish there was a way to give zero stars, though he did identify a malignant spot on my chest. After going to a surgeon to get it removed, and that surgeon "missing" it, Xu said I should have had him remove it as he specializes in Mohs. I said he didn't mention it. He said it is a patient's responsibility to research and ask questions. I believe he also lied. The practice says there's no record of my second appt, and Xu said the test of the spot the second time shows it was a fast-growing cancer. BS. That "spot" was there 3 days after surgery when I removed the bandage, and in the same position it was before surgery. Stay away. Also I have written the practice informing them of these actions, but no response. Not sure what I expected.

It was great. Very helpful and informative!

Has the bed side manner of a door knob. Horrible personality! Rude and arrogant.

Do NOT waste your time with this joke of a Doctor. My husband went in for a suspicious spot on his nose (I was quite certain was basal cell from my own personal experience) and he quickly looked at it and said it was nothing. He was also supposed to perform an all over skin check and did not look anywhere else on my husband. He was in and out of the room in less than 2 minutes. My husband has since gone to a different office and had the spot biopsied and it was in fact basal cell carcinoma.

He is quiet, and takes awhile to get him to personally open up. His bedside manner is very professional, however, he is also very compassionate if you communicate with him. He answered ALL my questions. He was not as forthcoming with information as I would have liked - as in I don't think he prepared me in terms of understanding the severity the course of my disease would take, however, he took loads of time with me to make sure I was getting the treatment I needed.

His diagnosis of brachioradial pruritus was correct. However, he said he couldn't do anything for me. I asked explicitly whether there are any creams that can relieve the itch and he said there were none, that I'd have to talk with a neurosurgeon or orthopedic surgeon. Why didn't he know that capsaicin is known to be effective? Why did he not know that there are other local anaesthetics that can be effective? Other medications are also proving effective.

Dr. Xu is a very quite man doesn't take much but as he gets to know you he is a excellent Doctor.. A no nonsense kind of man

Apologetically I was just pulling in the drive at the scheduled appointment time. And I was pleased he was still avalable to see me. I was pleased with his information on treatment and support. A great Dr. Xu, and wonderfull beautiful staff. Nice visit, and great team work provided to me. :)
