Patient Reviews
Dec 23, 2022
Post emergency room visit due to what I thought was appendicitis, Dr. Woo was following up a few days later on what turned out to be a 4 mm kidney stone that he was so concerned about that he had me come in on what, unbeknown to me at the time, was his first day of vacation. Needless to say, he is extremely thorough in his diagnosis and treatment, leaving no room for assumptions and guesswork. He is a good listener and communicates well, sharing all the data from the tests he ordered with me at each visit where applicable. That approach to health care is exactly what I look for and care about because it is a true partnership between physician and patient. It helps me understand what I need to do to take preventive steps going forward to mitigate any future health issues within my control.
