About me
Hello, my name is Dr. Luke Yu. I'm pleased to have the opportunity to share my credentials with you and provide some insight into who I am. It's essential that you feel comfortable with your personal physician, and I hope this page helps you get to know me better.
Biography
I was born in the Philippines and later moved to Southern California, where I grew up. I can speak some Spanish and Tagalog, although I definitely need to keep practicing!
I completed medical school at UC Irvine, received my master of public health degree from Columbia University in New York City, and then completed my pediatrics training at Children’s Hospital of Orange County. Practicing medicine is the perfect blend of my passion for science and health with my love for interacting with people on a daily basis. Being a part of someone’s healthcare journey is incredibly fulfilling for me, and I’m dedicated to making a positive impact in my patients’ lives.
One interesting fact about me is that I was on a competitive hip-hop dance team in college. It was a fantastic experience that taught me a lot about teamwork, discipline, and creativity.
About my practice
I chose to become a pediatrician because I truly enjoy working with the full spectrum of patients, from newborns to young adults. Each age group presents unique challenges and rewards, and I love being a part of their growth and development. Whether it’s caring for a newborn, guiding a toddler through their early milestones, or helping a teenager navigate the complexities of adolescence, I find every stage of childhood fascinating and fulfilling.
One of the aspects of my work that I cherish most is the opportunity to meet and learn from patients and families from diverse backgrounds. Each family brings their own experiences, traditions, and perspectives, and it’s a privilege to be a part of their lives. This diversity enriches my practice and constantly broadens my understanding of the world, allowing me to provide more compassionate and informed care.
How I thrive
I enjoy staying active through regular exercise, whether it’s hitting the gym, going for a run, or trying out new fitness routines. It’s a great way to stay healthy and clear my mind. Spending quality time with family and friends is also incredibly important to me. Whether we’re sharing a meal, enjoying outdoor activities, or just catching up, these moments keep me grounded and happy.
Traveling around the world is another passion of mine. Exploring new places, experiencing different cultures, and trying new foods all bring a sense of adventure and broaden my perspective. Each trip leaves me with unforgettable memories and a deeper appreciation for the diversity and beauty of our world.
