Samuel Wu, MD – Community Internal Medicine

My daughter had an appointment on Nov. 6. She had not been feeling well. He only spent about 10 minutes with her and all he wanted to talk to her about was some Kyani Science thing. I’m not sure what it is, only knew it would cost hundred’s of dollars. Then he also told her don’t buy this from Amazon, only buy from me. When she told me this I was really angry. Sounds to me like he has an interest in this! She has already found another doctor up in San Jose where she is going to college.

My visit with Dr. Wu was nothing like the reviews here are stating. I am very happy with him and the girls in the front office. Yes, he ran some tests but how else can you check someone out if you do not run tests. Since my visit to his office I have run into 2 people that go to him as well and are very happy with him too! I look forward to keeping him as my primary Doctor. I have heard nothing but good things about him since I started going to him. He also takes my Insurance which many doctors in the area do not take. Thank you Dr. Wu!

Think «Shark» or «Pirate». He seems to want to run an EKG, cholesterol /​blood tests each time we go in. We really feel like just dollar signs that he can charge our insurance for. The front desk girls are great but Dr. Wu is so impersonal and uninterested except for the tests that can be run (and clearly not needed/​were just done a month ago). By far, the worst doctor we’ve come across in a LONG time

Oh my… where do I even begin? My visit to Dr. Wu was pretty much like all the others. I moved out of state, but had been back «home» in Gilroy for the Christmas Holiday a few weeks ago. I had come down with a bad case of Vertigo and basically just wanted to see if he could give me a different diagnosis or more information than my other doctors had in Oregon. (Dr. Wu is my mom’s doctor). Anyway, right off the bat he asked me to do a breathing treatment and EKG. Uhhhh… what??? I have no breathing problems what-​so-​ever and I had an EKG the week prior at the ER, but he STILL wanted to do one, even after I told him that. He also mentioned that if my insurance didn’t cover the breathing treatment, it would only be $ 30.00. That’s not even the point here dude.
I refused both– and I asked for a doctors note, he prescribed me with steroid ear drops and a Z-​pack to get me thru the next few days. I returned back to Portland a few days later, went to an ENT and he told me that the doctor who prescribed those medications for my symptoms didn’t know what they were doing. There you have it, in a nut shell folks. I would never recommend this doctor to anyone. My mom has also changed doctors since. No way, Jose! Bad bad bad.

My mother has been a patient of his for 7yrs, all he ever does is prescribe medicine dhe doesn’t need, several months ago I called him and asked why so many pain meds and mind altering medication all he could say is it was necessary, I’ve not been to his office in 7months do primarily I left caregiving for my mother until just recent, I took her to his office for a visit with him cause mom has been falling down, that day before we left he handed her a letter stating he was terminating his care for herhis reason according to him if something happened to her that myself and other brothers wouls Sue him;I must say if yo provide what you say then why worry unless you know that you have been wrong, now my mother is without a primary Doctor… DR. WU I’M ASHAMED OF YOU.

Went to Dr. Wu a few years ago and all he wanted to do was run test and wanted me to see him every 3 months. He never said I had any problems, so I changed doctors. I hadn’t had an EKG in a while so I had them run it – they found blockage, so I was sent to a cardiologist. The cardiologist sent for my records from Dr. Wu and is seems that my EKG that he gave me showed blockage back in 2007. He never told me nor did he refer me to a cardiologist. I do not recommend anyone to go to this doctor.

i’ve been going to him for the past 6 years. he is very skilled and cares about his patients. he does do a lot of tests, but that is what a good doctor does. sure beats the hmo experience.

I had been looking for a primary care physician and was kind of desperate so I broke down and went to Dr. Wu. So sorry I did.
Keep in mind this was my first visit to Dr. Wu and he has no medical background information on me. The actual time Dr. Wu spent in my presence was MAYBE 10 minutes, during which he failed to hear my concerns regarding my health issues. He spoke over me and threw out obviously preconceived ideas of what my ailments might be, even though I tried to correct him. He then went on to prescribe medicaton and tests, which I’m sure were putting a pretty penny in his pocket.
My husband had been seeing Dr. Wu for about a year and had convinced me to try him. Since my visit and a few, not so positive, visits my husband had with Dr. Wu, my husband has found another PCP.

My husband had been going to Dr. Wu for a couple of years. He’s rarely sick, but the few times he did go I noticed that, as the other reviewer mentioned, he prescribes quite a few tests. It wasn’t until my husband was very sick at the end of last year that I was introduced to Dr. Wu. He’d been feeling very weak, and he’d lost 20lbs in less than a month (wish I could do that!).
We go into his office and the music is blaring. It’s office music, but it’s loud. We get into the exam room fairly quickly. When Dr. Wu comes in, he’s got his jacket on, he doesn’t really come into the room, he stands in the doorway. He asks my husband what’s going on, and while my husband is trying to describe his symptoms, over the loud music, he interrupts him numerous times. Then, he says, ‘so you’re having trouble breathing?’. No, that’s not what my husband said. My husband tries to explain again. Still not listening. I try to explain. Nope, nothing. We went back and forth on this. He wouldn’t listen! It was so frustrating!!! We ended up going to another doctor.
We’ve since then had another dealing with him, against our wishes, but because my husband was in the hospital we were kind of at his mercy. Needless to say, we weren’t happy. He may be super intelligent, but if he doesn’t listen to his patients, what good does it do? He should go into research, not deal with people. Good doctors are hard to come by in this town… we’ll keep looking.

Smart guy but not much of a bedside manner. Tries to push misc tests that will get him or his staff paid.
