Where to begin? Dr. Dan Wu is a genius and I don’t say that lightly. He is a one stop shop. He is a MD of both western and eastern medicine and an acupuncturist. I have been to a few in my lifetime and many years ago I was treated by one who was incredible and eliminated my cramps, but sadly she moved away. It has been over 15 years since I have been to one and I came for his acupuncture facelift. He immediately told me things about my health that were true from looking at my tongue and taking my pulse. He mentioned that my hormones were not balanced and that he could help me. I called my insurance to see if I was covered and I was shocked to see that I was. Dr. Wu takes most insurance companies, a true gift. I have a few medical issues, a long time sufferer of acne and let’s just say “female issues”. I have been misdiagnosed several times over the past years and most recently have had cysts and a thick uterine lining (not good). I have had several ultrasounds (not cheap) and my doctor suggested last October that he may have to do a D&C which is a surgery where they scrape you out and not only is it a big deal but the cysts come back and the uterine lining grows back because you aren’t addressing the real problem. I know I’m giving a lot of details, but it goes to show Dr. Wu’s expertise. I have had 7 sessions with Dr. Wu and when I went for my follow-up at my gyno last week for a follow-up ultrasound, my doctor was shocked to not only see a much younger looking uterus than back in October, he couldn’t believe his eyes when he did not see one cyst and that my lining was perfect. He said that usually never happens and that a few cysts are normal. He even checked my chart he was so baffled. WOW, is all I can say. Dr. Wu does not believe in hormone replacement, he believes in hormone renewal through acupuncture, says your hormones can do the job if you are treated properly. He has helped my digestion and my skin. He treats the whole person. For all the things he is addressing in my care and my friends you would have to seek out several doctors. He can do it all and I mean it all. For the yelper who said he could feel the needles, of course you can feel them but it’s so slight. Also, for the guy that said he doesn’t know if it worked after one time, you can’t cure anything in one time. Dr. Wu believes in several treatments but he gets results. I am sending all my loved ones to him, my father and mother are next. He is so patient and lovely and kind. He just wants to heal you. Even if he tells you what is wrong with you he does it with a smile because he has the answer as well. This is the real deal I feel so lucky that I came across him, I am never letting him go.
