Today January 10, 2013 I took my mother to see Dr. Wu for the first time. The office staff was very efficient and handled all of my mother’s paperwork right away. We did not have to wait long to be seem by Dr. Wu. After examining my mother’s feet Dr. Wu was very patient to explain how she will handle my mother’s case. She answered all of my questions and then prescribed treatment. Thank you Dr. Wu.

Dr. Wendy Wu is by far the worse medical professional I have ever been to. She lacks patience with her patients. She needs to reeducate herself on bedside manner and take a few business courses to realize that the customer(or in this case patient) is always right and should be treated with respect. A degree does not mean you automatically can demand respect. Dr. Wu did not treat me poorly when I saw her, but she knew I would not take her attitude… She, however, treated my elderly mother horribly. Yelling at her and scolding her for going in to see her too often. I’m sure it is motivated by the fact that she does not receive much money from my mothers insurance, but if she is a medical professional, she has taken an oath to help… Regardless of the money. Don’t waste your time or money on Dr. Wendy Wu. There are plenty of D.P.M.s out there that are more qualified and have better bed side manners.

My wife and I met a kind and courteous staff as well a knowledgeable podiatrist. Ms. Wu diagnosed my wife’s problem and cured her. What more could you ask for?

For over a year I’ve had numbness in my toes. I’ve seen two internists and a rheumatologist, and finally asked for a referral to a podiatrist. Both internists said that was a waste of time, but my HMO said I could see Dr. Wu. Reading the reviews here, I wasn’t excited about the HMO’s choice, but given a lack of other options, I decided to go ahead. All I can say is that the doctor(and office staff) I saw today bear no resemblance to what’s described in the other reviews here. More importantly, for the first time I have a plausible explanation for the numbness. Dr. Wu said that my shoes are simply too large, they don’t grip my feet well, and the numbness is coming from the repetitive trauma of my toes hitting the front of my shoes. That explains why the problem first started with a new pair of shoes(first internist said that was coincidence), and why it affects both feet(other internist suggested that meant some sort of systemic neurological problem). Dr. Wu gave me a prescription for an anti-inflammatory gel, told me to switch to open-toed shoes for a few weeks, and told me to come back if things weren’t improved, although she was confident that they would be. All I can say is I’m REALLY glad I ignored the reviews here and saw this doctor. I finally have some hope that this problem will go away. I’m off to buy new shoes :-).

Quick Tip: If you are visiting this office and are part of an HMO the first visit is for a consultation only and NOT treatment. Was very disappointed in the standard of care from this office. I wasn’t even sure that I met with an actual doctor. The«consultation» reviewed the procedure and the lengthy number of visits it would take to complete. I was referred here because of my health insurance and would recommend others to request a different podiatrist.

One of the worst doctors I’ve ever had in my life. Always seems to be in a rush, looks rather annoyed when you ask questions and the worst front desk in the world. I was referred here because of my health insurance and would recommend to anyone that they should ask for a different podiatrist because this one is just not worth putting up with.
