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.

Dr.Wu was very professional and knowledgeable. I trust that he will help me bounce back to my best of health.

Less intelligent than ChatGPT
Dr. Wu misdiagnosed something basic--a herniated disc. As a result I have permanent nerve damage in my leg. For fun I decided to enter *his own notes* into ChatGPT and it managed to arrive at the correct diagnosis! He diagnosed my condition as piriformis syndrome--a very rare condition that is a *diagnosis of exclusion* (meaning the doctor has ruled out everything else first). Had he followed the basic standard of care, he would have arrived at the right diagnosis and properly treated me. Now I am stuck with permanent nerve damage and $7K of medical bills because of his misdiagnosis! Consider talking to ChatGPT before you talk to Dr. Wu. You will probably get a better diagnosis for a lot less money.
