Dr.Lu was great in answering all my questions, and was willing to stay as long as it took to get my concerns addressed.
Dr. Lu was very friendly courteous and understanding of my problem. she listened to what I had to say and responded with care and concern. Very professional, great all around experience. The 5 - 10 min wait was understandably the low point of my visit. Which wasn't even long at all. Thanks again Doc

More about Dr. Gloria Lu, MD

For patient safety, MemorialCare Medical Group providers will not prescribe most controlled substances (including opioids like codeine, and benzodiazepines like valium) for new patients they have only evaluated via telehealth, rather than in person. Many controlled substances have a high potential for abuse, and overdose on controlled substances may result in death. Without an in person visit, the potential risk outweighs the intended benefit. If you believe you may need a prescription for a controlled substance, please schedule an in person visit. Gloria Lu, MD, chose a career in medicine because it combined her fascination for health sciences and her desire to find a career dedicated to helping and healing people. From a young age, Dr. Lu was encouraged by her mother to be compassionate and always help others, which helped shape her career choices. As a Family Medicine physician with MemorialCare Medical Group, Dr. Lu enjoys building relationships with her patients. Her interests include women's health and preventative care, and she loves coming up with plans that will be the best fit for her patients and enjoys seeing their progress. Dr. Lu grew up in Northern California in a Taiwanese immigrant family and speaks Mandarin. In her free time, she enjoys singing in her a capella group, traveling, hiking, watching football and trying all sorts of different cuisines. She also loves to spend time with her husband and loved ones.

This was my first time being an “adult” and finding a primary care doctor of my own and Gloria and the staff made the process super easy and understandable for me. I felt super comfortable talking about my health and felt cared for and now I feel confident in taking control over my health. I’m so happy I found Gloria and this office on ZocDoc!

Dr. Lu is awesome. For the past 3-4 years I've been seeing a PCP through a concierge service, and Dr. Lu's attentiveness to detail, follow-up questions you really drill down into the issues I've been experiencing, and thorough explanation of suggested tests, lifestyle changes, and medications to help address those issues from all sides really reassured me and also made me feel confident in my choice to look outside of the concierge bubble. I've already started recommending her to friends! :D Oh, also, the entire office staff were wonderful. I had some follow-up questions and they were able to call me back in 15-20 minutes which is SO much shorter than what I'm used to with other providers. A+ teamwork!

Dr. Lu was very responsive and thorough. This was my first visit with her. I am looking for a primary care doctor and was very impressed with her care. I will use her from now on as my primary doctor.
excellent!
This was the first time I met Dr Gloria Lu as my doctor retired. This was just a meet and greet I thought, however it turned into much more. Dr Lu had looked over my medical history, medicine history etc. and was up to date on everything about me. I really like her bedside manner which is very important to me. We talked and went over things for about 30 minutes and I did not feel rushed.
Dr. Gloria Lu was great.
The office visit was pleasant. The doctor addressed the problem promptly. Staff members were friendly and professional. The waiting time is efficient. Overall, good experience.
Dr Liu listens carefully , encourages patient participation and formulates a plan of care that is focused on the core issues of the visit. I will recommend her to friends and family.
all is good
Thank you!
Dr. Lu was great! I haven’t established a PCP in quite some time because of my constant moving, but we talked through my maintenance and current medications. I scheduled first thing in the morning, so my wait time was short and not a lot of people in the waiting room (2-3 people). Will schedule again should the need arise.
