About Me

When he was a young man, Bo Yu, MD, watched a few people he cared deeply about struggle with illness as well as complications from their symptoms. Due to this experience, he found himself in high school already deciding to become a physician.

“Pursuing a medical career became a spiritual call for me,” said Dr. Yu. “I can live out Biblical virtues of compassion and service.”

You have access to the expertise and compassionate care of Bo Yu, MD, for nephrology and kidney care services at Avera Medical Group Nephrology in Sioux Falls, SD.

“Knowing my work can positively impact patients’ lives is something that I cherish,” he said.

Expert Care in Nephrology

Dr. Yu sees patients for a variety of conditions, including kidney disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, protein in the urine, fluid retention, electrolyte imbalances and blood abnormalities.

He works alongside Avera’s robust nephrology team as they keep their eyes on the horizon for the newest and most cutting-edge treatment options.

“This is another way that we can advocate for our patients’ treatment,” said Dr. Yu.

Active Lifestyle

Outside of his work, Dr. Yu enjoys cooking, biking, spending time outside and exploring the world of photography. He likes to take snapshots of wildlife, especially birds.
