I had an accident and Dr Wu visited me in the hospital and I had a follow up appointment with him afterwards. Pleasant, kind, smart, and thorough.

Dr Julian Wu is an amazing doctor. His experience and knowledge is outstanding. Before the surgery he explained everything about the gamma knife surgery. During my recent appointment he showed me the MRI before and after the surgery. My tumor has shrunk which I am extremely happy. He speaks to his patients with kindness and understanding. His entire team are also amazing. They all have compassion and sensitivity to all the patients they see. They are all very knowledgeable and treat you like you were a member of their own family. Definitely rate him and his entire team an overall rating of excellent plus!! They are all fantastic!!

Dr. Wu was the first physician to help me in two years. I have been previously treated for a condition that I now sought his assistance with. He took the time to listen and to thoroughly examine my MRI. By the time we concluded, he correctly identified an area on my MRI that others had missed. He suggested a second MRI that revealed an area fullness that could be the source of my symptoms. A biopsy revealed an area of cancer that I can now begin treatment for. If it had not been for Dr. Wu's attentive ear, keen eye and years of experience, I would still be taking medications for symtoms while my cancer grew and spread. I can never repay him for his care. Eternally grateful!!!! Rck Nixon & Family

From my first visit with Dr. Wu to my final checkup, his demeanor and professional services were beyond expectations. His whole team provided me with what I thought was care that I had not expected or anticipated.

I have had a wonderful experience with Dr Wu. He was very approachable on my first visit, I never felt pressure for time as he addressed all of my questions and that approach continued through my hospitalization and follow-up visit. I'm highly satisfied with Dr Wu'
