Christine Wu, MD

update: approx. 10+ months ago I contacted Dr Wu’s office to have my records sent to my new Dr. Yesterday, her office called me said I needed to pay an unspecified amount of money for my records. The caller was rude, defensive, unprofessional. I was given no explanation or apology for the delay. When I mentioned HIPAA they said «what’s that?» I told them to just forget about it. Legally, they are allowed to charge for making copies and sending them, currently I think the max is $ 26 in PA. They are also legally required to respond in a timely manner and 10+ months is not timely. Personally, I think a medical office staff member who is unaware of HIPAA demonstrates an office that just don’t give a durn.

Dr. Wu, is in my opinion one of the best Gynecologists in Philadelphia. She is attentive, listens and answers my questions, sometimes more than once, cause I’ll ask the same thing over and over again… I know that if I call her office and leave a message, that at the end of the day, or perhaps at lunch, if she has time, she will always call me back, which isn’t true of many drs these days. When I’ve had emergencies on the weekend, she called me back asap. The office staff has always been helpful, and scheduled and rescheduled appts and left messages for me with Dr. Wu.
As to negative comments, at one point a few years ago Dr. Wu had a NP, whom I didn’t like, but I refused appts with her after the first one and she hasn’t been at the practice in a few years now, and it never affected my opinion of Dr. Wu.

Rude Office Staff. I have been going to Dr. Wu for at least 10 years but today got fed-​up with rude office staff. Office manager unsympathetic. Will be looking for new Ob/​Gyn after years of being a patient here.

I’m not sure what all these other reviews are talking about… This was one of the best experiences I’ve had at a doctor’s office to date. And I myself AM a medical provider. To start, her staff was very respectful and friendly. As a new patient, my wait time was not even that long. Dr. Woo was extremely patient and gentle. She has a wonderful bedside manner and you can tell she believes in educating her patients. I live in NYC but will 100% travel to see Dr. Woo again.

I do agree that the staff is not always helpful and it is difficult to get a routine appointment, however Dr. Wu is certainly worth the little bit of difficulty. I have sent several of my friends to her because they were getting satisfactory results from other OBGYN’s and have been more that please with her ability and treatments. Because of Dr. Wu a beautiful child was born last week who wound not have been if the mother had stayed with her former physician. Can’t praise Dr Wu enough!

I thoroughly agree with the above negative reviews of Dr/​Christine Wu. Previously, I just thought it was only me. I was treated so rudely by an office staff, that it was bad enough to prompt me to write a letter to Dr. Wu. I had up to that time been a loyal patient for over 5 yrs. Dr. Wu NEVER responded whatsoever to letter or my concerns. I felt ignored and I have not been back. I have not seen a Gyn in years now. I will check Unilocal’s reviews,

Had GYN problems and went to Dr. Wu for five years with no resolution. Couldn’t even get a diagnosis. I recently went to a new GYN and with new medicine and ACTUAL diagnosis I saw improvement in one week! Office staff is very rude. Made mistakes w/​my appointments and test results. Not going back. Dr. Wu was nice, but when you have a problem, nice doesn’t work!

I went to this Dr. when I was only 13 the first time. I remember liking her and when I was an adult I was happy to find her so close to my work. I went to her for 2 – 3 years and while she was professional and friendly enough, she told me for years that a pain I was feeling was all in my head. She thought that I causing the pain myself. I found out after going to another doctor that I actually had a treatable condition and that it was not in my head. While under the treatment of both doctors I then had trouble getting responses from her and getting a refill on a routine medicine. If you’re in the city you have plenty of other options for doctors — give them a try instead.
