Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I have been seeing Dr. Wu for over 3 years he does explain well and advises what can be done some treatments have helped me a lot only thing as others have said is the wait times it is always at least a half hour or more one time I had some minor surgery scheduled for 9am but didn't happen until 11am waiting in preop is very pain full Getting appointments is very difficult unless you get it right after a procedure but he has helped me a lot so I'm returning again

When All Else Fails
Yes, there is often a wait to see Dr. Wu, but it is worth it. Dr. Wu has solutions when all else fails. He is extremely skilled and knowledgeable and offers alternatives to major surgery. He performed a Laminectomy and several ablations that were practically pain free and very successful. I walked out the same day each time was able to resume normal activity the next day.

Your time is not important
On my first visit to see Dr.Wu, I arrived 15 minutes early, was promptly brought in to exam room where I sat for the next 2 hours. I was repeatedly told he would be in shortly. On my 2nd visit today, I arrived 15 minutes early, was promptly brought into exam area again. After waiting 30 minutes a nurse came in to review paperwork. I explained my concern about my prior visit and that I was not going to wait that long again. She stated it wouldn’t and he would be in to see me after another 30 minutes( similar to last time). When I questioned why an hour later again, the response was “he’s a specialist, you should expect this”. Frustrated with that response I left. Office manager did apologize however they don’t seem to value the patients time.

Dr. Wu has helped me with my lower back and has provided excellent advice on how to control my pain. He takes time to listen to you and never in a rush to move on to the next patient. Very happy with this excellent doctor.

Unfortunately, I've encountered many of the same complaints listed here. Waiting times as if the patient's time doesn't matter, repeated visits and no real treatment and trying to schedule an appointment is a nightmare. It feels more like I've walked into an auto body shop waiting for my car to get looked at rather then a doctor who moves things along in a professional matter. My first experience with pain management was a doc that all he wanted to do was office after office after office and injections after injections always going there. This one is hard to even get into see and then you wonder why it took so long when they have 8-12 people working there?

Visit this office for the first ti me for a spine injection For and after waiting for almost an hour a nurse(?) start to “prepare me” for a much bigger procedure then I was expected. I ask to see the doctor for a more detailed explanation and she said I will not see him till the procedure. With that I walked out.

Went to Dr. Wu for sciatica treatment ultimately resolved with surgery. Frustration was waiting 1.5 hours in initial visit, second visit was 2 hours with our explanation or apology. This type of patient treatment is totally un professional. If you love wasting your day in a noisy waiting room, Dr. Wu is your man.

Going to Dr. Wu was one of the worst medical decisions I have ever made. I would advise patients to look for a different doctor.
