I stumbled upon this herbal place and Dr. Wu on Yelp and decided to give it a try.
One dose of this herbal concoction, and I am already better, it's really wild.
(Okay this herbal stuff is not pleasant to drink, but not disgusting either, most importantly though, it works! which is rather amazing.)
Dr. Wu is so very patient and compassionate, I feel like I'm in good hands. She did the intake very carefully, and I can tell she really cares. She has a file for each patient, and she writes down everything I tell her in her file. Although I can't read what she writes, she seems to be jotting down every detail of my history.
I am new to Herbal Medicine and really don't know what I'm doing, but Dr. Wu took the time to explain everything to me, in great details, and explained what herbs she's presribing and why... this is so very rare in this TCM world of Chinese doctors.
Upon my request, Dr. Wu even wrote down my prescription on a separate piece of paper for me, which I really appreciate, cos I'd like to keep it in my own file, just like I keep my lab work etc. in my files. Most Chinese herbal doctors would refuse to give you the prescription (although I personally believe it's wrong to deny this request), but that's just the way it is, it is the old way I guess. I feel better having a copy of what I took (drank), even though I can't read it, or understand it, it's good for record keeping.
I am so glad I stumbled upon Dr. Wu! Her compassion for her patients really comes through. She is so very genuine, patient and caring, I feel that I am being treated by someone who really looks after my best interests, as opposed to someone who looks at me as another "face in the assembly line", or just another "revenue generator".
Oh and yes, they can make your herbal tea for you too if you don't want to boil it yourself - (who has the time to do that,really)... that's a great service! They boil the tea and you come back and drink it.
Next time I get sick, I will definitely go see Dr. Wu again. It's so rare these days to see a doctor (Western or Alternative medicine) who genuinely cares about their patients. Dr Wu, you rock! read more
