Dr.WU was great. She tried to fit me in an acceptable brace. She was unable to do so. She directed me to Hanger for a custom brace. They sent me to Joliet Hanger, it was terrible. Therefore am back at square one. Not Dr Wu fault. I would have no problem going back to Dr. We

Dr Wu was very helpful, patient and informative. I hope to see Dr Wu for further assistance. Due to the virus and new procedures there was some confusion which caused excessive delays. I do believe that will be worked out soon. Overall I would refer people to this office.
