Dr. Henry Yu, M.D., is the total joint replacement surgeon at Vail-Summit Orthopaedics & Neurosurgery. Specializing in adult reconstruction, Dr. Yu focuses on patients with hip and knee conditions who require replacement surgery, including pain caused by knee and hip osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and post-traumatic arthritis.
Before becoming an orthopaedic surgeon, Dr. Yu had a long and diverse history in Summit County. Dr. Yu grew up in Denver and moved to Breckenridge in 2000 after graduating from the University of Colorado. As a consummate mountain-town local, Dr. Yu worked as a ski instructor and ski patroller in the winter and an EMT instructor in the summer. His experiences in Breckenridge introduced him to the field of orthopaedic trauma, and he was accepted into medical school at Loyola in Chicago in 2012. Upon graduating, Dr. Yu earned a coveted spot in the University of Colorado's Orthopaedics residency and a fellowship at the University of Pennsylvania specializing in hip and knee replacement surgery.
Along with offering direct anterior hip replacements, minimally invasive total knee replacements, and robotic-assisted knee replacements, Dr. Yu's sub-specialty is providing joint revision work for patients who've had knee or hip work and need a slight upgrade as they age.
With his history in the Colorado mountains, education, training, and philosophies in patient care, Dr. Yu is dedicated to providing the highest level of care to our Total Joint patients.
Dr Yu is very thorough, compassionate, and takes things a step at a time. I feel very blessed that he comes to Buena vista.
Great doctor who takes his time. Love the friendly face and the handshake
Dr. Yu is wonderful. He is kind and professional. He thoughtfully answers all my questions and I leave each encounter confident in my plan of care and next steps. The repair on my arm looks great and while this was an unanticipated injury, I am confident that I will successfully move beyond this thanks to Dr. Yu’s skill and expertise.
Dr. Yu is very personable and thorough. He explained possible options for my hip, based on the MRI he ordered.
Outstanding presentation of patience and service provided along with piles of printout info for knee surgery. Just a super guy to have as a doc.
Dr Yu is one of the kindest, most humble Ortho Dr’s I’ve ever met with, and I have met with more than I can count. He took the time to explain things about my Knee Replacement concerns that the other doctor didn’t even begin to. Then he took the time to listen and explain the issue about a pain concern that’s been bothering me for years that no other doctor either took the time or had the knowledge to pinpoint the problem. I’m so thankful I finally found him, thanks to my neighbor. He will be my knee and hip surgeon from now on. I just wish I found him before now. Thank you, Dr. Yu!
He was very thorough and made me feel at ease
Explained everything in detail and in verbiage I could understand
Dr Yu listened carefully to my concerns AND he has a decent sense of humor. My surgery went very well and I'm way ahead of schedule on my healing.
Dr. Yu took great time and care in talking with me during our first visit and I thoroughly appreciated his insight and information relayed.
