Comments
"very professional and complete"
"I will say Dr. Wu has performed open heart on me three times. He I would trust in any way he would want to try to fix it this time. He listens and does read your chart completely. He's the best surgeon. I think everyone in this office is very good also. They are polite and so respectful. I would only want Dr Wu as my heart surgeon"
"Dr. Wu was excellent as always in explaining the results of my recent testing. he speaks in a way that what he is saying is easily understood and he presents a clear path forward in my treatment."
