Dr. Wu was my husband's anesthesiologist for his heart surgery eleven months ago and mine for my heart surgery five month ago. We were terrified of the surgery for my husband because two years ago he had surgery at a hospital where we used to live that had only nurses doing anesthesia and he got the wrong medication and literally died then was brought back (for knee surgery!). Dr. Wu called the day before surgery, spent almost an hour answering our questions, explaining every detail of the surgery and his part in it, and getting my husband's medical history. He was kind, compassionate, even funny but in an appropriate way, and made me feel like he really cared about my husband like a family member would. He later called the other hospital, got his records, and found out exactly what happened in the first surgery and explained it to us, something the hospital and surgeon never clearly did. My husband had his bypasses and a valve replaced and woke up 20 minutes after surgery and the next day, Dr. Wu dropped by and spent 30 minutes making sure he was comfortable and that everything was going well.
When he called me the night before my surgery, I felt so relieved because I knew he was going to take care of me not just treat me like the next girl in line. I won't recommend having any surgery, especially heart surgery, but if you do, find someone like Dr. Wu. I didn't know I could have asked for him, but I was glad it happened to be him again.
I have recommended him to friends getting back surgery, plastic surgery, and their kids getting kid surgeries and all were very happy with him and are asking for him specifically for future surgeries.
I would love to hear more stories about surgeons and anesthesiologists because at the rate we're going, my husband and I will need to move in to a hospital full time.
