Dr Wanda D. Hu, MD

I’m sharing our December 2025 experience with Dr. Wanda Hu so other patients can make an informed decision. My father saw Dr. Hu for an appointment that was scheduled as a glaucoma screening. He also reported a persistent foreign body sensation in his right eye that had been causing pain for some time. During the visit, Dr. Hu took a quick look and told him there was nothing, but she did not evert his eyelid to check under the lid. When my father asked for eye drops to help with the pain, Dr. Hu became impatient and said the appointment was “for glaucoma screening only.” She added that she was an “ophthalmologist,” that she had “a lot of patients,” and instructed us to make a separate appointment with an optometrist for the foreign body concern. The glaucoma screening portion also felt rushed and poorly explained. Tests were performed without any clear explanation of what they were for, and the results were not interpreted for us. For example, when I asked about my father’s eye… pressure, Dr. Hu answered “17” but did not explain whether that number was normal or what it meant in context. We were ushered out of the exam room while we still had unanswered questions. My father mentioned that he had used artificial tears for five days without relief. Dr. Hu responded in a dismissive manner that he should use them for “weeks or months, not days,” then handed us several printouts about dry eye and told us to read them and follow the steps before seeing an optometrist. Five days later, my father saw Dr. Catherine Wang at the same clinic. Dr. Wang examined him and removed the source of his foreign body sensation from his right eye. He felt immediate relief and has not had the painful sensation since. Based on this outcome, I am very disappointed that my father’s discomfort lasted longer than it needed to, and that his concern was not addressed more carefully during the first visit. If my father had followed Dr. Hu’s instruction to wait “weeks or months” before seeking further care, I cannot imagine how much worse his condition might have become. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend Dr. Wanda Hu, and I hope the clinic will review this incident to ensure future patients receive thorough examinations, clear explanations, and respectful care.
