The most interesting reviews
- She is not a patient doctor. I wouldn’t go back to see her again. When we asked the pregnancy related question to her,she was extremely mean and losing patience, she keep saying “as I mentioned before…” made us look we were so dumb. It is our first pregnancy and we didn’t know much about it. I really do think a lot of these 5 stars were purchased review.
- We had two meetings with Dr. Wu for my wife’s pregnancy check. We encountered a few problems during the process. She did not monitor my wife’s HCG level which seemed off, considering that we had checked with many different OBGYNS, and they all said HCG is necessary during the process. During the first visit, my wife(5th weeks) was so terrified for ectopic.
So she gave us an ultrasound check which is understandable. But sooner than later she want us to come back another 10 days for another ultrasound, which we thought was a bit too excessive considering that it’s only at a very early stage of her pregnancy and the check ins she requested may have been too frequent for our liking. Additionally, she mentioned miscarriage numerous times and had added some unnecessary stress since we know that she’s only at an early stage of her pregnancy. We question the accuracy of her diagnosis and is hesitant to go back for her consultation again. Her suggestions regarding her symptoms seemed a bit inaccurate.
