Patient Reviews
Dec 28, 2025
I had an Ascending Aortic Dissection. Dr. Wu preformed emergency open heart surgery and saved my life. His bed side manner is not the best but he is great at what he does and I will take that over BSM any day. While in pre-op ICU I had another doctor tell me if he needed a heart surgeon Dr. Wu would be his man. Also a nurse told me Dr. Wu was her mother's surgeon about 5yrs ago and she is doing great. I was in the hospital for 5 days. I have been home for 43 days and doing great. Up and down stairs, walking and back at the gym (very light workouts mostly screeching). My follow up with Dr. Wu was quick and he answered all our questions.
