How was your appointment with Dr. Zhu?
Jan 11, 2023
Dr. Zhu is the 2nd Rheumatologist that I've been to and I he was much more helpful than the other Rheumatologist I used to go to, in Renton. He spent over a half hour talking to me about what I'm doing right and what I can do to get my uric acid levels down even further. I almost didn't go after reading other reviews...glad I saw him and will follow through.
Thank you for sharing your feedback about Dr. Yong Zhu, MD.
