best doctor good care and very professional and I recomend to all and help you and calls about appointments

Dr. Shu is hands down one of the most caring and thorough physicians I've ever met. He takes the time to really listen to me, explain things clearly, and make sure every concern is addressed. What stood out to me most is how genuinely invested he is in my well-being he never rushes appointments and always goes above and beyond to make sure you feel comfortable and informed. His professionalism, calm demeanor, and attention to detail are truly exceptional. You can tell he genuinely cares about his patients and loves what he does. The staff in his office are also friendly, organized, and welcoming, which makes the entire experience smooth from start to finish. If you're looking for a doctor who combines expertise with compassion, Dr. Shu is the one. I couldn't recommend him more highly. read more

Dr Shu is very compassionate, understanding, and empathetic. I have high blood pressure and he has given me excellent advice on how to maintain my blood pressure in a healthy range. His staff is excellent and I enjoy my visits with him every time. I would recommend this doctor to my own family with absolutely no hesitation. Keep up the great work doc! read more

I think we all know that the medical industry has many bad apples but Dr. David Shu is amongst the most rotten of them all. I had some shoulder pains that was bothering me and found his clinic to be close to my home, so I decided to go knowing that the PCP will likely just refer you to a physical therapist anyways (which he did). However - before being sent along to that, Dr. Shu decided to charge me for an extra appointment, even though it was just the typical follow-up 5 minutes call doctors make when they get your procedure results back (a neck x-ray). Additionally, that 5 minute follow-up call began with Dr. Shu saying "I heard you need a change to your psychiatric medication" so another patient's file? or possibly accusing me of being psychotic? After calling to dispute it, their team picked up the call and simply said "you will be sent to collections and you need to find a new primary care doctor" as if it was not obvious I would never work with them again anyways..... Questioning the American people's intelligence I see. read more

Great doctor! Dr. Shu is very approachable and I appreciate his honesty. I've been going here for four years and all my visits have been timely. He carves out time to address any questions and concerns, which is rare in a doctor these days. He also gave me statins, and explained it's necessity after I'd been avoiding it for years. I also went in after my elbow was injured from an amusement park and he helped drain the excess fluid. Thank you Dr. Shu! read more

I would give higher than five stars if I could. I highly recommend Dr. Shu. He is very knowledgeable, and is extremely kind. He helped me get my prescriptions and knew which pharmacies in the area were reliable. He graciously helped me verify medical clearance papers for work. My appointments were always on time, and I like how he does blood test for you (saves you a trip to LabCorp). Parking is easy as there is a lot, and the entire process of getting an appointment was smooth! His staff are great and I could get an appt in a week (other places didn't even take new patients). Also the office is very clean! Thank you Dr. Shu! read more

I'm surprised that they don't pick up their phone during normal working hours. I've tried calling at least 10 times. They picked up twice but then hung up. Not sure if this is what I expect from the doctor's office. read more

ABSOLUTELY NOT! How David Shu, MD has those women run their front office is beyond me. I don't care how good Dr Shu may be if any new patient is completely turned off the first time the people they come into contact upon entering the office... because they don't answer their phone and they go beyond don't care. I've called this office FOUR times and left a voicemail and they've never returned a call and the only reason why I'm even trying to make contact is because my PCP no longer works with my insurance. They must be that busy I thought, so on a day off today, I came by to consider making an appointment in person. I parked, I tried calling again, but no answer as usual. I enter the office and see the two women at the front desk. I look at them, they don't acknowledge I'm even there, I look at the waiting room (pictured) and it's empty. I decide to call them on the spot and just as its ringing, the women on the left asks if I'm here to make an appointment... Really? Is it that common that patients must be physically present to make an appointment? So I told her, I'm a new patient and have called four times trying to make an appointment on the phone, but she cut me off to tell me I need to wear a mask. Power move and indicative of how this office operates. I wear the mask and she's already done with me - I decline making an appointment, because there is no way in hell I trust this office staff. I ask if there is an Office Manager - "nope." I leave. I don't understand how she's still employed there. It's as if she's TRYING to make Dr Shu's office fail. Mind boggling. read more

David Shu, MD - Zero patients, yet the "we don't give an eff" staff won't answer the phone nor call back to your voice mail. - Internal Medicine Near Me - San Francisco, California

Dr. Shu continues to be professional and caring. I leave messages through the secure portal and he responds by the next business day! Time flies when you can trust a good doctor who looks after your health! I have been his patient for over eleven years! His new office waiting room is clean and efficient. Just don't confuse the paper cups on the nice doily matted tray to be tea. It is definitely not tea... read more

The worst doctor I have ever met in my whole life. I came visit him with my father in law today. He is 91 years old，his previous doctor has retired. So he started to visit Dr. Shu last year. The first time visit I didn't go with him, the Dr. Shu ordered all the test for him, when they do the blood test made his arm bruised for one month. Today my father in law has back issue his back been very painful for couple months. He wants to get some medicine or Cortisone Shot. And he has been having problems using bathroom each hour at night. But when we visit the doctor, the only thing he say is he is old. Nothing can do, no medicine and nothing. When we asking for reference, his nurse print a paper with google page with a spine doctor. And when I ask for print a page of instruction of strategy. Dr Shu was not very happy. Very rude when he's talking to my dad. And when I heard he can speak Chinese very well to other patients he denied he can understand what I am saying in Chinese. He's not a good person, he should not be a doctor to help people. As well as his nurses all very rude to my dad. They said please leave after the visit. But my dad wants to take a break sitting there, they came again saying I need this room for next patient, but actually no one coming or waiting here! AGAIN, I am socked with the nurses and doctor, they are treating us like not people. I hope they will close down their offices soon because they are not qualified for a doctor! read more

I went David Shu to get my blood work drawn. I didn't feel a thing. There's a parking garage where l always get a parking space. I like going there. I would recommend. read more

I really like Dr. Shu overall which makes it tough to give this 3 stars but my god, his office staff doesn't pick up the phone. Think I had to call 10 times in one day once to finally get someone to pick up. If you need someone once a year for a physical this doesn't matter, but if you have a question you want to run by a doctor or need to schedule an office visit, good luck getting through to the receptionists. Great guy overall but be ready for frustration when it comes to scheduling. read more

Dr. Shue has excellent medical skills and a wonderful bedside manner. A great choice as a primary care doctor.

Dr.Shu makes going to the doctors' office a pleasant experience. He's kind, informative, friendly, obviously knowledgeable, impeccable bed side manners, and great at what he does. But the most important thing is (to me) he listens and pays attention. He's never made me feel like I'm a bother or I'm overreacting... basically, he's a saint lol. His staff is welcoming and friendly. And they'll always try their best to get you in for an appointment. I've been going to Dr. Shu since 2008, and I'm not planning on switching to anybody else until he retires. read more

My wife and I have both had good and bad doctors. Dr. Shu is without question one of the good ones. First of all, we didn't have any issues with the front desk staff and they were both comprehensive & professional each time we have dealt with them (which is several, now). Warm and Friendly, not that we'd really care .. but they seemed really good for us. As for Dr. Shu himself, with both my wife and myself (we have very different health situations, hers being rather serious), he has spent ample time with us and listened to both our concerns & ideas and ultimately came up with medicinal solutions that have truly helped us (and he help push them thru insurance). We definitely recommend Dr. Shu. read more

Dr. Shu seemed to be more concerned with making money from my insurance company than necessarily caring for my health. His office handles all of their own testing rather than sending you to the usual outside labs, which is fine. But he ran more tests (e.g., an EKG) and recommending vaccines that other medical professionals told me were warranted for an ordinary annual exam. I can only conclude that he was running up the bill to insurance. He would also insist on charging for an appointment to renew a prescription for that I have been routinely taking for over 10 years. I got the feeling that I could not trust him to put my health over his income stream read more

Incredibly bad experience. Dr Shu was pleasant during my initial visit but didn't provide any follow up on test results. When I followed up with him regarding the results he was incredibly short and rude, citing that he was "too busy" for my questions. Definitely one of the worst interactions I've had with a medical provider. Would not recommend at all read more

Tried to call to setup an appointment never recieved a call back even over a month later.

The staff is the worst. They are rude and dismissive. I got off the phone fuming. It's too bad because I heard great things about the doctor. read more

The bedside manner of the administrative staff at this office is unprofessional, petulant, and offensive. Attempting to set up an appointment was like pulling teeth, and the interpersonal skills of the receptionist were deserving of an F. Taco Bell has staff that are more communicative and compassionate than whatever the hot mess this place has going on. Yeah. No thanks. read more

Dr David shu has provided the ultimate medical services to me and my whole family members including my wife and my child Here are the high lines that I feel comfortable to post : 1. Response to my request for medical attention and needs promptly including off work hours . 2. He has provided careful , detailed and professional medical services to me ever since I visited him from 2019 3. Provide on site blood test service in his office so that I donot need to schedule appointment to another lab for urgent need of blood tests 4. Dr David shu always calls me to inform me immediately upon the availability of test results including blood tests ,X-ray and bone density tests. 5. He has provided office appointment of unexpected health issues upon short notices Especially during covid 19 crisis. 6. Last important comment but not necessary for everyone, dr David shu speaks Chinese . In all, I trust him and lucky to become his patient. I have referred friends to David Shu and received excellent feedback from them. read more

I was a patient of Dr. Shu for a few years but decided to change doctor today. Reason? I called him with a request to change a prescription and the phone conversation lasted less than one minute and he charged me $160. What a ripoff. read more

I just saw Dr. Shu and like other reviewers said - his bedside manner is great! A few things to know before you go... - There is parking in his building - if you are using your maps don't park on the street! Save your hard earned quarters! - The elevator in the building is a bit scary...so take the stairs - but that should not deter you from seeing him! - Like others have said, he does his own blood work which is cool. I had to get an EKG and they did it in the office too - they do way more in their office than other clinics I have been to where you have to get a referral, go to another building on the other side of town, blah blah - His bedside manner is top notch. He really takes the time to listen to you, answer any questions you have and alleviate any concerns. He's super friendly and relatable! - Overall, I really felt like he took time to meet with me and get to know me and my concerns which was great. He was really reassuring and honest with me, too. Highly recommend him! read more

Dr D Shu have been a great primary physician for me. I had an issue with my feet and they book me in for an afternoon appointment that same day. He listens & he ask me more questions about my symptoms. So glad he has great bedside manners. When I left a voicemail, I get the call back before the day is over. read more

Ian a patient of Dr,David Shu.and I appreciate his welcome to is office,He listens and pay attention to my needs.Ian a eighty one year old person and I have been to lots of Dr. Thank you Dr Shu,and your staff. Cecilia B. read more

Starting off this review by saying that I have NOT seen the doctor and this review is purely for the person who picked up the phone. I called to see if I could schedule a physical exam and the lady who picked up responded to my questions in such a cold, don't-have-time-for-you, overall negative tone that even if they did take my insurance, I would not have taken them up on it. You need to train your receptionists better or hire new ones! read more

I just have to give Dr. Shu another shoutout because I truly appreciate his commitment to his patients. Again, I've seen Dr. Shu since my adolescence and he has never let me down. Recently I was reminded of just how awesome of a person and doctor he is. A week ago I discovered a worsening abscess on arm to the point where I couldn't even move my arm without excruciating pain. Not knowing what else to do, I consulted Dr. Shu. This was on a SATURDAY NIGHT. Dr. Shu called me back within the hour and sent an Rx to my pharmacy for antibiotics. If you ask me, this is already going above and beyond. I wouldn't blame PCPs at all for turning their phones off on the weekend because that is essentially their time off. The next day, I sent an update to Dr. Shu re: my arm, and he advised that I go to urgent care/ED to have my abscess drained. If it weren't for Dr. Shu's guidance I honestly probably would have waited and the whole debacle would have been a whole lot worse than it already was. Thankfully, I went in and got it taken care of. ED staff were all totally in agreement of his counsel. He called me early on Monday morning to follow up, ask how I was doing, etc. Seriously, such a nice guy and great doc who legitimately cares. Even my friends were commenting on how great he is. DR. SHU IS AWESOME and we are so lucky to have him!! Thank you Dr. Shu!!! read more

If you are looking for a primary care physician, look no further. He listens and helps any concern I have. I had a physical done so I understand my health. He draws the blood himself and personally calls me with results after. So glad I found this place. The location is great so I don't have to go downtown anymore. All his referrals have been spot on. read more

Dr. Shu possesses all the qualities of a great doctor- he is knowledgeable, empathetic, and personal. He listens to all my concerns without dismissing any of them as insignificant, and does not make me feel rushed during my appointment. He is also one of the very few doctors who does blood work himself- no need to go to another lab! He followed up with my results within the week, and I also had the option of accessing them online through the patient portal. There is also free parking in the lot downstairs! read more

Dr. Shu has been my PCP for a few years and I have not been impressed by anyone else like his services. When I had a urgent matter to be attended, him & his staff accommodated me in no time. I recommend David Shu to anyone and his clinic has parking which is great. And during these tough times, they do video and phone visits too! read more

Is on his Facebook messaging when he is attending to you. This says it all right here.

FRAUD. BEWARE. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. FOR YOUR HEALTH & WALLET. tl;dr; Will be reporting him for being UNAPOLOGETICALLY LAZY and USELESS to the detriment of patients. Stay away from David Shu. 100% agree with other reviewers that this place is a scam and these people are corrupt. Also, the office and waiting room haven't been cleaned since the 90's. First things first, David literally googles your symptoms on his cellphone and finds out what to do. Full. Stop. Did he really go to medical school? Is this what you want to pay for? Is this who you want to put your life in the hands of? Like is this something you haven't already done yourself? it's 2019.. Once he regurgitates a few links, he asks if you have any questions. And the best moment is that he can't or won't directly answer any question you ask at him. So after a few shrugs, irrelevant anecdotes, and "I don't know, go see a specialist", "i don't know, go ask your other doctor", you get frustrated and politely have no more questions. He rushes you out the door with a ghetto printout of his friend specialist (which have terrible yelp reviews as well). There. His job is done and he's content with his heavy mouth breathing self. And you pay him his doctor salary. You will leave with terrible thoughts on burning the place down. It's sickening to think of the number of people who get seriously hurt due to his carelessness as a "doctor" (read the other real reviews). People spend serious time and serious money looking for answers, or at the very least clarity on situation. Not just to get passed along to your doctor friend groups for profit. read more

Dr. Shu has been my PCP for more than 5 years and he always addresses any issues that I have. It might be a new prescription or referral to a specialist, etc. He is open to giving you time to change your diet before gIving you cholesterol or BP meds. No need to go to the lab because he takes your blood samples in his office and send them to the lab directly and calls you for results. I just moved out of the area and needs a new PCP, cross fingers I can find someone like Dr. Shu. read more

I don't understand how this guy has good reviews. He literally sat there and googled my problems and referred me to a specialist. I looked up the specialist and saw that most people had terrible reviews with the specialist. He was condescending and dismissive of my health issues. read more

Just had my first visit and couldn't be happier. The doctor and staff were friendly throughout the process.

I was looking for a new primary care physician in SF, and Dr. Shu was recommended by a friend who has been seeing him for the past three years. I found that it was easy to schedule an appointment and found Dr. Shu's professional and personable. He was very personable and asked questions about my habits and gave me practical suggestions that fit into my busy lifestyle for getting healthier. read more

I'm so glad I found Dr. Shu in the beginning of 2017. His office is a gem! The area is nice and cozy and even has free parking. I asked him for several issues and he answers them patiently. Dr. Shu is able to send medication electronically directly to the pharmacy which saves me time. He even draws blood in his office which is rare and convenience for me. I gladly refer him to all my friends and family :))) read more

Dr. Shu has been great - kind, competent and knowledgeable. He was able to immediately and correctly diagnose a couple medical issues I've had for years and his prescribed treatments have worked well. His bedside manner is superb, which I was nervous about given the sensitivity of my issues. Administrative staff seem competent - I haven't had any problems. Flipping through some of the previous reviews, it seems like some of his patients have had heartburn around Dr. Shu looking stuff up on his computer. From my perspective, medicine is ever evolving and looking up the latest thinking as it pertains to a patient's problem is a plus - medical training doesn't mean you know all the answers (although in my case he did) - it means that he can better interpret and apply that information than the layman. read more

I missed my initial appointment and was able to reschedule for the same day. The staff was friendly, warm, and receptive. I also found Dr. Shu very knowledgable, and he took the time to ask questions and listen to me throughout my visit. I would recommend Dr. Shu anytime! read more
