PATIENTS LOVE DR. WU

  • "If you're looking for a pediatrician who's as skilled as he is compassionate, Dr. Wu is the one."

    We couldn't ask for a better pediatrician than Dr. Henry Wu. He's been there for our three kids through everything--colds, allergies, and even a traumatic eye injury. Dr. Wu is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and caring. He takes the time to listen, explains things clearly, and truly makes us feel heard. We trust him completely with our children's health and always feel reassured knowing he's just a call away. If you're looking for a pediatrician who's as skilled as he is compassionate, Dr. Wu is the one.

  • "I can't recommend Dr. Wu enough and am so excited he's opened a new practice right in our city!"

    Wow where do I even begin?? I reached out to Dr. Wu because my son was having trouble breathing. I felt I wasn't receiving adequate care, answers, options, or explanations from my care team. Dr. Wu immediately analyzed videos I sent, got on a call, and talked me through a treatment plan, thoroughly explained EVERYTHING weighing pros/cons, and the follow-up was incredible. He checked in every hour to see how my son was doing, even offering to come over and listen to his breathing. We opted for video calls instead, and he provided so much value, peace of mind, and literal life-saving care after. Our previous care team would not prescribe a nebulizer (taking a "wait and see" approach), and Dr. Wu got one delivered to our house the SAME DAY, and it made the biggest difference for our little one. He is breathing comfortably and doing so well, and we haven't had an episode since. I can't recommend Dr. Wu enough and am so excited he's opened a new practice right in our city! Praise God!!

  • "Dr. Wu is attentive, thorough and patient. "

    You never feel as if you are a bother to him and thus you are comfortable asking all the questions you have. These are traits that are tough to come by, unfortunately, which is why we make it a point to stay patients of Dr Wu. He also seems to remember (or note) things about our personal lives that we talk about that are unrelated to the office visit. This is a small detail that makes our encounters more personable. The best part is my son (3 yrs old) never fears a visit to the doctor; when he's sick he tells us he needs to go see Dr Wu.

  • "Dr. Henry seriously gave me so much peace of mind!"

    Dr. Henry seriously gave me so much peace of mind!! I texted him with an emergency for my little sister who accidentally got into a little big accident, and he was ON IT. He responded right away and immediately gave me a bunch of care instructions for her without making me feel uncomfortable or stupid for my questions. (I definitely barraged him with a lot of questions cause I was freaking out!) Once I got her settled in a good place and I felt more calm, he even reached back out to check on me. I feel like it's so rare nowadays to find a doctor who is actually attentive and responsive and gives you actual time for your questions without rushing you. Highly recommend Oakwell and I honestly would use them for myself too if they ever expand beyond pediatrics.
