Dr. Karen Chu saved my life…read more On July 9, 2013 during a routine gyno, she detected a lump in my left breast. I was 40. She sent me to get a mammogram; a tumor was identified. Long and scary story short, I was advised a lumpectomy but opted (inspired by Angelina Jolie) to get a double mastectomy. Good thing I did as they said the labs indicated early stage developing in the right breast! Fast-forward 11 years later...my team of doctors have told me I do not need to come back for annual exams and that I was officially cured! A CT scan, MRI & ordered bloodwork all verified I was healthy. I was also told through genetics that had another year gone by the stage would have been higher (I was stage 1 and with no node involvement) and who knows if I would be here today writing this. I had been seeing Dr Chu annually for my Gyno appointments for 5 years prior to the appointment in 2013 where she discovered the lump. I always thought she knew what she was doing and respected her approach. I am extremely grateful. And so is my family. My son is now 15 years old. I will always have the deepest appreciation for Dr. Chu as I am able to be here and live a beautiful life with my family and watch my son grow up.

By far the best Doctor I have ever had. I am so grateful for the amazing service she provided me…read more After years of seeing doctors that would say sorry it's just something we or women have to go through. Dr Chu was like a breath of fresh air. I finally got to experience what it means to receive patient centered care. She listens, she explains, she reads your chart before you get there, she actually knows what's going on with you before you get in the examination room. She answers questions and gives you options, she is through and double checks to make sure you are okay. I can't praise her enough.

Worst Gyn ever Doctor I ever seen. She's seldom in the office. When I really need her to see me…read moreshe's not in the office at all. Need The staffs called her and leave a message for her to call back and then the staffs call back to patients for the response. In this case She's not professional at. When she not in the office but why the office open for nothing. It's doesn't make sense at all. Most of her time is in London spent time with their kids.So in this cases close out the office instead. Is very difficult to make appointment. If's is really urgent can't see her with the same cause she's not in the office. Do not see karen Tuan , M.D. I'll give her zero star.

The facility has a lab attached to it so it's very convenient! Not only am I able to do my annual wellness there, but I can complete my bloodwork in the same appointment too. This office does have very strict scheduling guidelines though; you need to give them a deposit of $300 before you come for your first appointment and there's a $100 no show fee from then on out. Still, I think this office is worth the hassle. It's so hard to find a great doctor and office staff who prioritize patient needs. I'm very pleased with my experience and will continue coming back!

I also had lab work ordered by her that showed very low levels; it took over a week for her to respond. In the meantime, I had already reached out to my PCP, who reviewed the results and scheduled my iron infusions -- something this provider would have seen had she reviewed my chart before responding to my labs via MyChart. Overall, she felt rushed and insensitive, and the lack of preparation and education on my chart before appointments and lab follow-ups is concerning. This kind of oversight can be dangerous, especially for patients who may not know how to advocate for themselves.

EMR ain't no picnic either. Both have their pluses and minuses. Don't fault people for the paper. -Yup, I had one billing mistake, one address mistake and two medical history mistakes. This isn't the Drs fault. It's the medical assistants fault who either misheard or wrote down the information incorrectly. When Dr.Hom reviewed the information, we reviewed what the MA wrote down was wrong. MA's don't have a ton of training people. Couple weeks to months of coursework. If your blood pressure comes back wonky atypical for your normal range or a weird note appears in your record, just review it with the doctor. -Dr. Hom was very personable.I saw her for an annual and preconception visit. But, yes, as other reviewers have stated she does have a thing about chubbers. And, to some degree, understandably so, extra weight can have fertility and pregnancy implications. That said, I don't think she was particularly rude about it. She just suggested I cut carbs. As a lifelong hourglass thicc human: dearest doctor, it would be cool if it was all that simple. Like you, I too, was a ballerina. And in my post ballet afterlife I have come to carry all my junk in my hips and thighs. I don't eat many carbs or much meat though. I'm just shaped like my curvy latin family. All doctors make assumptions and have bias- I would say hers seemed fairly standard and innocuous as things go. Having seen three other obgyn during my last pregnancy and taken a tour of the dysfunctional offices of SF, I feel reasonably assured saying this one is medium good. Definitely fine for a simple pap at least. (Extra star 'cause I just really appreciated Dr. Homs personality. Personality matters when you've got someone poking around down there.)

And the doctor who saw me, Shauna Weisburst, was fantastic & very validating. I find doctors visits often put me feel on edge but I felt very safe & grounded in this appt. I hadn't been in for almost 5 years and they still had notes about follow-up things (very important ones) that I had totally forgotten about from years ago, so they document our health very well. Thank you PP for this wonderful visit, I definitely recommend this location and also just as an fyi want to make sure people are realistic about timing for a gyne appt: I arrived just before 11am to check in and left about 12:15/12:30, which is honestly very fast & impressive, so please plan to have enough time (easier said than done, I know; I was long overdue myself for my checkup due to work schedule).

She came in, quickly readjusted me and the repositioning was miraculous! I only pushed 3 more times before the baby was ready to come out and it did in 30 minutes! She really knew her anatomy and how to help patients. We were so desperate and thought it was going to be a c-section. On the other hand, the nurse we had was really ineffective at guiding us at pushing, didn't even time the contraction properly. She then calmly navigated 2 more complications for us - umbilical cord wrapped around the baby's head and my disintegrated Placenta was hard to remove. What a skilled doctor. Recommend her 100%. Also people should stop leaving negative reviews about a doctors office scheduling challenges. So misleading. She's obviously a great doctor.
