Nov 2017

Verified SHC Patient

Dr. Joseph Woo and his team (especially Ashley) were WONDERFUL.

May 2017

•

Verified SHC Patient

Dr. Woo was amazing. He was very informative and told me everything I needed to know about the procedure, as well as which was the best option. I greatly appreciate the concern he showed in terms of telling me how to go about surgery as I'm currently nursing. This was very important to me. I've had a few experiences (not pleasant) with doctors who didn't know how to go about treatment because of breastfeeding. Nursing savvy doctors are wonderful!
