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.

A best doctor
Dr. Wu has been my OBGYN for nearly a decade. Her competence, rationality, and caring nature truly set her apart. She excels at diagnosing problems early, communicating effectively, and addressing issues promptly. Thanks to her expert supervision, my pregnancy was a smooth, safe, and uneventful journey.I had a C-section with Dr. Wu and the entire experience was nothing short of a miracle. I experienced minimal discomfort, the incision was extremely small, and it has become almost invisible in the few years since the procedure.I firmly believe that every woman deserves a stellar doctor like Dr. Wu.

I went to see her an annual exam. She was very accomodating to see me sooner than the next available appointment (2025). Not only is she knowledgeable, she has exceptional bedside manners & personable.

Only the highest praise
Telehealth
I am still mid-pregnancy, but can honestly say that having Dr. Wu as my provider has been such a blessing. She has made even my virtual visit as personable as possible. She is direct and to the point, without having us feel rushed, but she is also warm and makes me feel comfortable with whatever concerns I bring up. I feel very empowered as a patient to make all decisions about our baby, and that is extremely important to my husband and I.

Best there is!!
There’s truly no one better than Dr Wu. If you want a doctor who devotes her life to her patients, their well being and their baby’s best interest and safety (if applicable), she’s the right doctor for you. She isn’t going to always tell you what you want to hear, and that’s why she’s good at what she does. If you’re looking for someone to sugar coat things and tell you how awesome you are, call your mom or your best friend. I appreciate a doctor who is honest with me and who is the best at what she does. I’ve never questioned her decisions about my gynecological health and feel she’s always made the right decisions that ensure my safety. There’s a wait list for a reason. Having her as your doctor is a privilege and I feel so fortunate to be her patient.

Does not treat menopause
I’ve had a really unfortunate experience with Dr. Wu. She took me off of BCP and I’m now in menopause and having terrible symptoms. Without any medical reason she refused to prescribe HRT and would only prescribe an anticonvulsant drug off label that then exacerbated my depression. When I called to express my concern, I received only a message on the portal saying I’d need to see a menopause doctor, who isn’t seeing new patients for a year and a half. I find this to be reckless and inhumane. Gynecologist shouldn’t just be for women of childbearing age. Older women need gynecological care too.

Incredible!
Dr Wu is brilliant, knowledgeable, kind, and caring. I’ve never in my life had a doctor spend as much time sitting with me and explaining things to me as Dr Wu did. She had a very strategic plan, and made my partner and me feel at ease in her hands with our first pregnancy.

Dr Wu is simply the best
This was my second time going through a birth experience with Dr Wu and I could not say better things. She’s the best in the industry, knowledgeable, honest and upfront, meticulous— remembers every detail, and cares. I 100% trust her with my babies life and am very grateful. She let me go for a vbac and I ultimately ended up in a c section (unplanned with her colleague) but it all went very smooth and she came and checked on me the next day in the hospital. She’s just the best.

Dr. Wu recently delivered my 2nd child, I had to find a new OB after my 1st and I couldn’t have been happier. The whole practice is great and the hospital facilities are fantastic. Dr Hockstein ended up delivering the baby and he was wonderful too. Sure, the appointments don’t always run on time, and she might seem a little rushed, but she’s seeing patients back to back all day and I know she wants to give as much attention as possible to those who truly need more of her time. I really enjoyed my experience.
