Dr. Wu is an exceptional neurosurgeon who not only possesses incredible surgical skill but also demonstrates genuine compassion and care for her patients. She thoroughly explained my condition, addressed all my concerns with patience, empathy, care and provided me with a clear understanding of the treatment plan. Dr. Wu made herself readily available for follow-ups, ensuring a smooth recovery process. I am deeply grateful for her expertise and the positive impact she has made on my life."
Verified patient
Doctor was very nice as were the assistants. The office staff was busy talking and kept me waiting needlessly. I did not make a follow up for this reason. The X ray tech was also awkward.
Verified patient
Dr Wu is professional and honest and her communication with me. Everyone is very kind in this clinic and I feel very well taken care of.
Verified patient
I would definitely go back. The doctor was very attentive and explained everything to me. Also recommended a rheumatologist for follow up on my condition
Verified patient
The doctor and her assistant were 5 Star, The front desk was distracted by each other’s conversations and made me feel like a nuisance. I checked in on line and they said they didn’t have it. When I told them Ellen from Zocdoc said if I had any issue they could call her, the girl helping methey rolled her eyes and handed me the paperwork. That said, the doctor was one of the best ones I’ve ever been to and worth the wait and attitude at the desk. Maybe they were having a bad day, but I could never get away with that at my job.
Great
Verified patient
Good
Verified patient
The doctor made up her mind prior to examining me based on one bone spur seen on a radiograph of the opposite hand that was causing pain. She dismissed my questions and concerns and barely examined me. Waste of time and money.
Yes
Verified patient
I had so many consultations with different doctors about my broken elbow, but only Dr. Wu found the best solution for my problem. She is the doctor I trust and was ready to do that surgery without any doubts. The surgery went well and now I'm on my stage of recovery. Thank for doing your job 100%.
Verified patient
Dr. Wu was very unpleasant to me. I’m not sure if I caught her on a bad/busy day, but her demeanor and bed side manner were not very hospitable. As someone who was clearly in pain, she disregarded that and didn’t tend or show any care towards me as I feel I should’ve gotten. Won’t be visiting here anytime in the near future.
Doctor was very thorough Examination was good
Verified patient
Dr. Wu was a HORRIBLE PROVIDER she did not examine what I came in for, she told me to go back to the surgeons that messed up my hand and wrist. She didn't call me by my pronouns so she didn't read my chart as well as she COPIED AND PASTED from my hospital visit on myChart history after asking and looking up the history of the previous surgeon. Dr. Wu was terrible she talked to her Assistant who did all the work nasty as if she was beneath her. Dr. Wu is not for new patients or patients looking for a second opinion. I had someone there with me that is a M.A and even she knew Dr. Wu did not do proper protocol no MRI, CAT Scan nothing and her hands where cold when she attempted to touch me because I asked her to examine my hand and wrist, if I didn't she would of sat in her chair still asking for the medical report after my second surgery. I DO NOT RECOMMEND DR. WU AT ALL!
Verified patient
This is a great office professionals to take care of your needs with compassion. I recommend this group of Physcians to all in need of their care.
Verified patient
