We at Dr. Yu and Associates, believe in the overall welfare of our patients but also advocate doing our part to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and to preserve PPE’s. Following the mandate from Governor Abbott and the Texas Board of Dental Examiners, we are postponing any non-emergency dental care. Thus, we have modified our business hours for triaged dental emergencies only. We will check messages regularly Monday-Thursday 8am-2pm. We will return to regular hours as soon as possible. Thank you for your understanding. Stay safe and healthy.

Surgical Team

Lourdes, RDA

Surgical Coordinator

Lourdes is native Texan from Brownsville. She moved to Austin because of the hills, lakes, parks, and all of the outdoor activities that Austin allows. As gentle and soft spoken as she is, Lourdes, along with her daughter, are in a competitive kick-ball league, where she is tough as nails! Lourdes is the rock of our practice – truly. She is an inspiration to the rest of the team with her work ethic, reliability, and great attitude.

"Absorbing all of the new therapies and techniques along with our continuing education excites me every day."
