Patient Reviews
Apr 05, 2024
I went to Dr. Wu for a 2nd opinion after my optometrist said I might have an eye disease. After researching eye doctors I found Dr. Wu. One of her specialties is this uncommon condition. She gave me a thorough exam and was able to confirm that my eyes were actually ok. She’s incredibly knowledgeable and very friendly. Really, one of the best doctors I’ve seen.
