Wu Henry MD

I like to begin by saying Dr. Wu is the best! I have seen many other doctors and no one compares to the care and knowledge he’s given me.
Many years back I was told by a different doctor and also by her ultrasound tech that I had a huge fibroid and that I needed surgery as soon as possible. I wanted a second opinion and seek care with Dr. Wu. He explained everything so well, he took time to make sure all my questions were answer. (And of course the first doctor gave me a wrong diagnosis) A few months later I had surgery with Dr. Wu to remove multiple lesions of my endometriosis and a huge endometrioma. The incision was minimal, and recovery time was so incredibly good. Even though my surgery was pretty major I should of stay home for 8 weeks I felt so good I only took 4 weeks off. He is such a great doctor, his surgical hands are God send.
I have being a patient of Dr. Wu for quite a while now, him and his staff are always very kind and professional with me. I have read many of the reviews that have described the office in it’s worst matter. Which I think is totally false! Yes their are a busy office and it might take a while to go in and see Dr. Wu, but I completely understand. He is so worth the time.
I have recommended Dr. Wu to many family members and friends, and I will continue to do so.
Thank you Dr. Wu and lovely staff.

Wait times can be sometimes a little long but overall good place

So I wrote a review regarding my last visit to Dr. Henry Wu’s office and left 1 star because I had an issue with the receptionist in the front. Finally after 3 months, insurance company was able to confirm that my visit was due to a sudden pain to my right breast after speaking with Dr Wu directly.
As I explained in my previous review, my overseas insurance premium covers all my cost and I don’t have to pay nothing up front if office visit is not for a regular checkup and sickness or injury is not a pre-​existing condition.
But I ended up paying for an «annual checkup» that I didn’t even asked for and even received a bill for a lab result that I wasn’t notified, because of the receptionist in the front selfishly thought I came in for an annual checkup when I told her I was not there for a regular checkup over and over. She wasn’t even trying to listen to me!
I am so glad that Dr Wu was honest enough to tell my insurance company the reason for my visit and explained the situation.
After I explained/​discussed/​argued with my insurance company more than 10 times (I even had to call my family member in Tokyo to call the headquarters out there) they finally decided to cover my cost. *Sigh…* This is ALL thanks to the ONE hardheaded selfish girl sitting at the front!
I wanted to update my review to show appreciation to Dr Wu for being honest and took his time to explain to my insurance company.

I honestly don’t know what doctor these ladies who left good reviews for saw cause it sure isnt the same doctor I saw. So first let me say I was referred to him by my insurance with both my pregnancies and both times he never actually made it to assist my delivers grateful on my end but really what kinda OB is he to not be there for two different pregnancies of mine, seemed like he made it a custom to be. It sucked for me because by the time I get sent to imh its too late to shop around for new OBs but anywho.
1. I didn’t like the fact that kept getting pushing about ingcircumsiz my boys asoon as he finds out I’m expecting boys,
2. When I told him I didnt want an episiotomy he said they’re always necesary? Um no they’re not, doctors don’t even practice it nowadays cause you heal a lot better and faster when you tear yourself and in most cases you don’t even need too. Luck for me he never showed up for my births and I didnt tear.
3. Both times he told me my babies were too big and ot calm down with my eating and both times my babies weight under 7lbs? According to him they were over 9lbs lol
4. My last appointment he didnt check me told me said it wasn’t necesary, I had my baby tge next day and when I went to the hospital they said my water had broke and had leaked out little by little opposed to the big gush he had said to wait for they said if he had checked he would have known and should have sent me to the ER because my baby was near dry, luckily he was born ok…
Bottomline he’s not a great doctor he might be for those having fertility issues but not as an OB. Trust me two bad experiences in three years stretch should say so…

I’ve been seeing Dr. Wu for over 15 years. When I first saw him I was having a dangerous issue — he was thorough in his examination, thoughtful in his diagnosis and explanation and most importantly direct with me about what he could do to help me. He laid my choices out clear as day, especially if I wanted to have children someday. I remained with him from moving away and coming back to the area. I have just had my second child that he delivered. He was always kind and personable — and while his personality can be more reserved in the patient room he is a total crack up support team in the delivery room, making it not only comfortable for me but to my husband and family that shared the memorable event with me. His staff has ALWAYS treated me with respect and kindness. They did their very best to always get me in when I had any concerns and scheduled my appointments to help me around my work schedule. I had to switch insurance in the middle of my second pregnancy and they made it a completely smooth transition. There are times when the office gets busy but I could tell they were running the behind the scenes as quickly as they could and did so with a smile and even a grimace apology if I had to wait awhile, which wasn’t often. I actually felt they bent over backwards to help me, very opposite experience as some of these other reviews. On top of that, they ask about my babies, wanting to see pictures and hear how they are. When I switched my insurance from PPO to HMO I told the insurance rep that the only DR I cared about making sure I still had was Dr. Wu.

Dr wu is a nice dr and I normally do not rate bad about medical services. I didn’t have any problem with dr’s visit but I had problem with the services. Normally receptionists are supposed to help patients schedule the next appointment, but in my case she always «forgot» to stop me to make next appointment. If you are looking for new ob/​gyno dr he’s good, it’s just too bad that him and the nurses are nice but they are too busy to forget to schedule appointment with patients. If you can make sure you can keep up with your appointment and call to schedule, then you’re good. I just wasn’t happy with how I was always forgotten to schedule next appointment.

Doctor Wu is a really Good Doctor his staff is horrible! I had an appointment at 1030 and they have me waiting in the room over 1hour already they advise to be here 15 min earlier then your regular appointment and staff advise they over booked or they squished you in the schedule when they should tell you that when you book the appointment not when you have been sitting over 1hour already.

My experience with Dr. Wu and his staff was fantastic! Dr. Wu is very knowledgeable and truly trust worthy. I found Dr. Wu on a referral and I am so blessed that I did.

Ever since my health insurance changed, I’ve been on the lookout for a solid doc. I’ve met with several and sadly, I knew more about my condition then they did. But not with Dr. Wu.
This was my first consultation with him but I will say that I was totally impressed with his knowledge, his approach, his thoroughness in the examination as well as in his explanation of my options and what would happen next. He also made recommendations and then explained why he was making them. He also made sure that the other providers he referred me to were in my network — and they just don’t do that anymore.
He was a total professional and a complete breath of fresh air. His assistant, I can tell was new, but that’s okay. I’m not going to ding them for training new peeps. He even gave me a tip regarding lab work that needed to get done and what to do if they were busy or tied up. Also, there is a bit of a wait, but I believe that the reason for this was because he took so much time going over the information to make sure I understood everything and wanted to make sure he addressed all my questions completely. He wasn’t that, wham bam, thank you ma’am, NEXT type of doc as many seem to be now.
My next appointment with him is in a few weeks again. But this jaded, cynical, doesn’t trust so called «experts» gal, so far, has been won over. Kudos Dr. Wu! And thank you!
p.s.
I also cross referenced him on:

9 years ago my wife had a troubled pregnancy. We saw this guy on a referral. He took his time with us and explained everything. This guy’s confidence is through the roof and that was reassuring. My son is turning 10 in a couple weeks and I believe he is here because of this Doctor’s hard work.

Great! Staff is great, doctor is great! What else can we ask for?
My wife had an excellent delivery. Thank you doctor Wu and staff!

I have been a patient for over 10 years. never had a problem and thought the nurse practitioner & staff are all kind and professional. At times their office is busy, but it’s understandable. I love Dr. Wu and his office, very informative, patient and really thorough!

I absolutely love Dr. Wu and his staff !!!
He delivered my both my girls now I’m on my third due in two weeks.
All of my friends and neighbors have had Dr. Wu and all of them have great things to say.
I personally wouldn’t dream of going anywhere else.
As for the people that gave bad reviews they were probably really really hormonal.

If only there’s a negative star.
My wife and I visited Dr. Wu’s office with the need for an able OB/​GYN. Before we even met Dr. Wu, we were told to pay up front the entirety of the delivery by the gauntlet of receptionist, which is two months away.
We have never been treated so horribly by medical professionals. Instead of courtesy, we felt like we were Dorothy and Tinman trying to meet the wizard in Wizard of Oz behind a curtain of smoke and mirrors.
On hindsight, we were glad we were turned away since we couldn’t pay for a procedure upfront 2 months prior. For all we know, his medical training may be just as substantial as the Wizard of Oz.

I liked the doctor but nurses and receptionists are not so nice. I made an appointment @ 3:30pm and got inside 4:35 and they still made me wait in the private room for another 10 min. They don’t respect patient’s time. I really think Dr. Wu is a great doctor but I won’t recommend this place if you are busy. The nurse was SOOOOOOOOOO inconsiderate! I switched to another doctor because of the nurse. Again, Dr. Wu is a nice doctor.

Henry Wu is an amazing doctor. Very kind and takes his time with his clients. The staff is friendly and I use his services when I lived in Redondo Beach and whenever I visit L.A.
Highly recommended.

This is the worse doctor I’ve ever been to. It was a mistake to see him for my entire pregnancy. He only cares about his bottom line. Not about the patient.
The first red flag should have been his attitude. In the beginning it was very short. In the end it was detrimental to my well being.
The second red flag was that office workers and the Dr. Wu would not fill out a single piece of paperwork with out being paid to do so. Not paperwork for my job. Not even the Family Medical Leave paperwork my husband need to get time off after the baby was born. The incorrectly filled out the form 3x’s and no matter how we protested we had to pay each time for their mistake.
The worst part of the entire ordeal was my labor. Once the hospital called him he came in a few hours later acting as if he was being inconvenienced. He had to check to see how dilated I was. He stuck his fingers inside me while I am having contractions mind you and said, «if you are this sensitive how are you gonna push this baby out?»
This was my first child so while I was angry with his attitude and I wanted to curse him I also began to doubt my ability in giving birth to my son.
My whole point is that Dr. Wu is insensitive, uncaring and not a doctor I would recommend to my worst enemy. His office staff is rude and so is he.
Please choose another doctor or you will regret it at some point!
