Dr. Lu delivered all three of my sons in 2000, 2001, and 2004, and I couldn't have asked for better care. Through each of my C-sections, he was calm, compassionate, and incredibly attentive. I always felt safe, heard, and truly cared for. My boys have grown into bright, wonderful young men, and I genuinely believe that part of their strong start in life came from the exceptional care I received during each pregnancy. Dr. Lu will forever be special to our family, and I'm endlessly grateful for him. O read more

Been seeing DR LU for 20 + years him and his staff are amazing Always kind and professional always greeted with good morning and a smile

Magical. That's how I would describe my experience receiving Dr. David Lu and his crew's exceptional care. Truly my checkups, delivery and post-partum care were world-class! If you want the best experience in delivering your precious one, he is the one to go to! Dr. David's weekly practice took place in the tall building next to Providence Little Company of Mary in Torrance. Then, he delivers at Providence, so it was very nice to have both buildings next-door. I plan to write a review on Providence also. Their staff and service were also great (newer delivery unit; older post-partum rooms could be better). When I first visited Dr. Lu's office, Sachiko, the Japanese-English bilingual front-desk staff promptly answered my questions and helped me. I was having difficulty with insurance, so I'm very thankful that all worked out and I was able to deliver with them. With over 30 years of practice, Dr. Lu has exceptional experiential knowledge of his specialty and about the hospital of delivery. He is very caring, detailed and precise. In the beginning, I was told by him that I would probably have a bigger baby. Sure enough, I gave birth to a 8lb baby and for a small Asian woman like me, it could have been a hard delivery. Because of his advice, I was able to avoid gestational diabetes. With careful monitoring of the baby, I was scheduled to have an induction a week before my due date. The process was exceptionally smooth and I dilated well. Dr. Lu came in promptly and I was able to give a vaginal delivery after 1.5 hours of pushing. Even during this process, Dr. Lu's advice was kind, precise and extremely helpful. Many of my friends and post-partum medical staff were amazed at how big the baby was, how well I recovered (10 days), how stable my medical conditions were and that I did not have any tear or cut. Dr. Lu dug out the baby's head diligently, so I swelled some, but in a matter of days, the swelling was gone. After I gave birth, he gave me two follow-up calls and two follow-up visits at the hospital which were both encouraging and helpful. I would say his knowledge, experience, great work ethics, responsible and kind personality all made a great experience for a mom. This is the kind of care every woman needs when giving birth! I am still going to his office for monthly post-partum checkups, but even now, I always feel well-taken care of every time I come out. I am very VERY thankful to have received their exceptional service. Thanks to all the staff at his office. They were all very professional, helpful and kind. I would recommend Dr. David Lu 100%. Some facts: Cleanliness of office: Excellent Friendliness of staff: Excellent Professionality: Excellent Language: English/Spanish/Japanese Parking: 1 hour free with validation *Little Company of Mary has yummy food and exceptionally kind and knowledgeable staff with many baby-related classes (with cost). 2ヶ月前にデービッド・ルー先生のご指導のもと、無事に元気な赤ちゃんを出産することができました。月々の検診、出産、産後の検診も熱心に見てくださり、ワールド・クラスのケアを受けることができました。日英バイリンガルのスタッフも何名かいらっしゃいますし、清潔なオフィスですので、安心してケアを受けることができました。 デービッド先生のオフィスは、トーレンス・リトル・カンパニーオブメリーの隣の建物にあります。出産はリトル・カンパニーオブメリーでしますので、いつも行き慣れているオフィスの隣であることも安心でした。こちらの病院も日本語のクラス、病院見学、サービス、和食も用意されていて、非常に素晴らしいサービスでした。新しい分娩室は非常に完備されていました。 デービッド先生は30年以上の経験を持っておられるため、的確なアドバイスをしてくださいます。スタッフの皆さんも非常に親切ですので、気軽に相談することができました。 デービッド先生の的確な指導のもと、妊娠糖尿病も避けることができ、無事普通分娩で3600ｇの赤ちゃんを産むことができました。母体が小さいため、帝王切開をしなければならない可能性もあったのですが、先生の的確な判断により免れました。産後も丁寧なケアがあり、アメリカで初めて出産される方にもぜひオススメの先生です。 read more

Lu David S MD - Delivered by Dr. David Lu - Obstetricians & Gynecologists Near Me - Torrance, California

Dr. Lu just delivered my wife and I's first baby. He is a consummate professional, who happens to really care about the health and well-being of his patients. Our weekly visits never felt rushed, despite being very busy. His attention to my wife and our baby during the labor and delivery process felt genuine, and he did everything in his power to make mom and baby comfortable. We travelled nearly an hour every week for checkups, and I will continue doing so, as long as he is around. I should also note that his entire staff is friendly, thorough, and professional. read more

This is for the receptionis, not Dr Lu. I called two weeks ago to schedule first OB appointment with Dr Lu. The receptionist wasn't very friendly but did help set up the appointment. One week before my appointment, she called me and said she didn't realize Dr Lu stopped taking new patients and cancelled my appointment. How ridiculous is that? If you are the receptionist, your job is to help book appointments and the bare minimum thing to know is whether the doctor takes more patients or not. I'm 9 weeks pregnant today and need to find a new OB to provide care, and it takes time to get on other providers' schedule. I hope the office privides basic training to their staff so they don't jeopardize other patients' care. read more

Dr. Lu and his staff are wonderful. Very friendly and professional. Dr. Lu is the best doctor I've ever had. He delivered both of my healthy babies safe and the experience I had through the whole process was outstanding. The dedication and the care from Dr. Lu gave me the feeling that I am not just a patient, but felt like a family. I always feel home everytime I visit this office. Very happy to have him as my doctor. read more

Professional and friendly, great office staff. Really cares about his patients both moms and babies.

Dr Lu is very compassionate he understood my difficult pregnancy with hyperemesis gravidarum and he delivered my daughter. He cares about his patients and unfortunately I switched insurance and I no longer have him but oh how I wish he was my obgyn right now as I am pregnant again. read more

Dr. Lu is an excellent, thorough physician. I am so grateful to have found him for a second opinion almost 18 years ago. He saved me from having an unnecessary surgery that had been recommended by my former physician. He also has a wonderful staff who are very responsive and helpful anytime I call the office. read more

I have been going to him for years, he provides superior care and goes above and beyond your standard doctor visit. He delivered both of my daughters and his brother is their pediatrician. His office is very organized and does a great job of reminding you of your appts and getting you in touch with the Dr. if issues arise. read more

I've been going to Dr.lu for 11 years now and he is the best! I went from going to him for birth control to years later Starting my family and having him deliver my babies and he did an amazing job with all visits and specially delivery at little company of Mary. Staff is super friendly which always makes a big difference read more

I really love Dr. Lu. I went see him about 5 years ago right before I almost headed into an unnecessary surgery. Dr Lu corrected my problem with no surgery. He is very kind, patient, knowledgeable and most importantly, treating each patient as his own family. Thank you Dr. Lu! read more

I was lucky enough that my new insurance was accepted at Dr. Lu's practice. I had started seeing him during my first pregnancy from March 2017 to July (when my daughter was born). Given that this was my first pregnancy, Dr. Lu was always very compassionate and supportive. He answered all of my questions concerning this nerve-racking big event. My husband and I felt great about our decision of having Dr. Lu deliver our first-born daughter. His staff was always very helpful to me and made sure that I received all of the necessary treatments that I needed. Dr. Lu, the nurses, and receptionist went above and beyond for me. When I had issues with a laboratory billing, they took care of it swiftly, so that I did not have to worry about it. Dr. Lu wanted me to be able to have a vaginal birth, as I had wanted, so he advised me throughout my pregnancy about diet and exercise. I listened to him and had a vaginal birth. When I was giving birth, there was a complication, but Dr. Lu acted quickly to deliver my baby safely. I was very glad that it was Dr. Lu delivering my child. Unfortunately, my particular insurance ended sometime last year, so I could no longer have Dr. Lu as my OBGYN. However, if I'm pregnant again, I'd want Dr. Lu to be my doctor again. read more

Dr. Lu is very professional and caring. He's the best obgyn I have ever seen.

Dr. Lu is kind, supportive, and knowledgeable. When I lost my PPO, I chose to pay out of pocket to still go to him. He is thorough, gives great advice, and genuinely cares. Anyone would be lucky to have him as a doctor. read more

I chose Dr. Lu after interviewing several OB-GYN in the Southbay area. I also wanted a doctor that was familiar with Little Company of Mary hospital in Torrance. Dr. Lu is well known at that hospital with good reputation. patient. Dr. Lu guided me through my pregnancy, and he successfully delivered my twin girls. I would recommend Dr. Lu to everyone. He is very thorough in making sure that all patient concerns are explained and understood. I could not have asked for a better doctor. read more

Dr. Lu delivered my first baby! He always answered my questions and put my baby's best interest first. I like how the doctor visits were quick but he still took time to make sure I understood everything! I would recommend him to anyone read more

Dr. Lu has been my OB/GYN for over 11 years. He is a wonderful doctor and really takes his time with me. I also see him as a general practitioner. I have never had a bad experience with Dr. Lu. He has also performed several surgeries on me and all went well... very little scaring. In my opinion he really cares about his patients. I also referred him to a friend of mine several years ago who could not conceive a child and today she has 2. I highly recommend him to anyone. read more

he stopped taking my insurance.... so that blows because i really did enjoy seeing him as my regular gyno.

WARNING TRIGGER: **NOT VBAC SUPPORTIVE** Only does REPEAT CSECTIONS + Uses scare tactic excuses not evidence based facts! Please note this review is based on my FIRST and only meeting with Dr David Lu. If you're looking to do a VBAC don't waste your time seeing him - he will NOT do it, instead he'll insist on a repeat cesarean and won't even talk to you about any other options you have except to be sliced open. He'll focus on risks of having a vaginal birth after a csection but will not talk about risks of a repeat csection. For him it seems, once a cesarean, always a cesarean. When we met, he looked at my chart and asked why I had a cesarean and I told him; I was 6cm dilated, gave into the epidural, was also given pitocin without my knowledge. As soon as I was given them I was made to lay down and failed to dilate resulting in my baby having a slow distress heart rate and had to go in for emergency csection. I also got a bad reaction from either the epidural or pitocin from the large dose they gave me during labor which lasted for months. I then told Dr Lu that I'm here to talk about a VBAC because I didn't want another cesarean and let my body go through what it did again. He ignored my request for a VBAC and jumped straight into saying "we need to schedule a repeat cesarean for you. Since you had a reaction with the drugs, I can speak to the anesthesiologist and see what other drugs are available. We could use MORPHINE and put you to sleep. You'll be out throughout the surgery (and out for a while after surgery, meaning no instant skin to skin, breastfeeding or meeting my baby straight away) but that would mean, the morphine would put the baby out too, but a csection is quick and I can have the baby out in a minute before the morphine goes anywhere near it" HELL NO!!!! I was so shocked when he said this me. I asked him if he'll support my VBAC if not I'm going to leave because I didn't want to waste my time or his, he said "no I'm not going to do a VBAC you'll have to go somewhere else, you're not a good candidate. Good luck with that". I thought that was it but he kept going. I was about to leave and then he said the following (scare tactic, non evidence based excuse): "Because you didn't dilate past 6cm you'll NEVER ever be a candidate for a VBAC because you're pelvis is too small. And if you have a Trial of Labor (TOLAC) there's risk of uterine rupture. Your scar is going to thin out rip open and your baby will come out of your csection scar and not out of your vagina". He also claims that my 8.4lb baby is too big for a VBAC that's why I had a c section. I'm not here to complain, I'm here to share my experience because it's important to. A mom researching a VBAC could be reading this and I hope it helps them avoid coming in contact with a situation like I had with this OB. I'm glad I did my research and built such thick skin to know what I'm looking for. There are some Moms that may not be as thick skinned so I hope this review can help. Thinking about that meeting with him makes me sick to the stomach. The things he was saying to me, what person says that to a Mother who wants to experience a natural birth. NO PERSON can or should deny a mother their desire to birth naturally let alone tell them they'll never be able to do it. DISGUSTING! PS his repeat csection rate is about 65% on Amino.com!!! read more

20+ years ago these types of reviews didn't exist in my world. But today my daughter was talking about her OBGYN and I had to tell her that she was delivered by the absolute best doctor ever, Dr. David S. Lu! Looking at his reviews I was so surprised to see less than 5 stars. Four is great but he definitely deserves five stars! read more

Dr. Lu is great; I went to him for years until they changed the IPA on my insurance and kicked out some of the doctors (!).

Dr. Lu is a good doctor. He got my pain cured and also told me how to prevent it happen again. He is very skillful and very nice to patients. The office is clean and comfortable. The office girls are very friendly to me. read more

You will end up with a c section if you come here !!! He will not let you deliver naturally!!! I can sit here and type my horrible experience with my delivery but go to little company of Mary or Torrance memorial and ask the nurses for your Selfs! They will tell you he mainly does c sections unfortunately i didn't do my research well enough and ended up with a c section!! He claimed baby was too big, I delivered a 7 pound healthy baby and opened to 9 centimeters and still ended up with a c section!! If what your looking for is a natural birth stay away from this doctor ! read more

Dr. David Lu, is a very outstanding OBGYN. I would refer any of my girlfriends, cousins, aunties and sisters to him. He takes time in explaining and getting to know you as a patient. I feel very comfortable every time I have appointments and procedures done. On the other hand of his staff/manager is very unprofessional. They don't give you a call pertaining to paperwork they don't understand. They don't give you a reminder phone call of your appointments. Mind you, you have to call asking when your paperwork is ready and if you plan on picking it up make sure you ask if the office is opened or closed because you will waist your time going down there just to knock on a locked door. I am a true believer that you can have a very good doctor but your staff will be the one to make patients leave!!! read more

My experience with Dr David Lu has been outstanding! I was extremely nervous and scared having my first child - not knowing what to expect. Dr Lu is extremely caring and was able to answer all of my questions and also gave a sense of calmness to me that was deeply cherished. Even during my labor process, the nurses acknowledged the quality of Dr Lu and how he is always there to deliver his babies regardless of time or day. This was proven to be true as Dr Lu visited me very very often in the hospital (way more than I expected) and provided a sense of guidance and confidence. Even after the successful birth, Dr Lu was there multiple times a day to check in on me and baby. Would highly recommend Dr Lu to everyone. Fantastic! read more

It was horrible experience when I had an exam of uterine cancer. When Dr. took biopsy small lining of my uterus, because of intense pain, I fainted for a while and could not move for about an hour. I have never had experience like this by other doctors. read more

I am so impressed with Dr Lu and the care I received from him throughout my pregnancy and delivery. He is very caring and very cautious which was really appreciated. This was my first child and I had a miscarriage prior to this pregnancy that left my very nervous during this process, but Dr Lu was very mindful and made it a much more comforting journey. I am not a very big person and he knew that I was having a big baby so we decided to induce once we were able to. He knew that I wanted to avoid a c section and was able to delivery my baby naturally. He is also great in that he wouldn't induce until I dilated so that I didn't end up having to have a c section. I am beyond grateful for the care that he gave during the actual delivery. He checked in on me multiple times during my labor and during the actual delivery he took GREAT care to minimize the tearing, I ended up with minimal tears and stitches which has allowed me to heal nicely. I will definitely be returning to him for my next pregnancy. I highly recommend him! read more

If I could choose no star, I would've given 0. I really regret that I did not research more about other better prenatal clinics out there before I just went to this clinic just because I got referred from pregnancy help center in torrance. The social workers there said this doctor is very helpful with insurance issues and everything. Since this is my first pregnancy and I really don't know others to ask around, I went here trusting that the doctor would be genuine and willing to help patient. BUT, TOTALLY RIP OFF!!!!! He said my insurance (Aetna) will cover one ultrasound during entire pregrancy; with no cover, it's 200 out of my pocket. When I got my bill from the clinic about 3 weeks later, I see the ultrasound cost 360 before deduction, and after deduction I still have to pay 132 plus office visit cost seperately. I was totally confused so I called the clinic. The staff I was talking to (japanese accent) was very rude, very unwilling to help. I got a big impression that they just want their money and don't care about continuous care for their patients. When I mentioned I applied for Medi-Cal now, and the doctor should know about presumptive eligibility program (PE) so they can bill Medi-Cal too, the Japanese staff kept on saying "we don't do that." VERY UNWILLING TO HELP PATIENT when there is something they can do. They should treat pregnant women with more care since we are experiencing a very special and difficult time. I found another good clinic through recommendation from many other people; this is very likely to be satisfying and trustworthy. From my experience this time, I learnt that I would not be naive and just rely on one side which can very much be biased. Who knows...the pregrant help center that referred me to go to this clinic is doing a favor for each other? read more

My experience at this office was an amazing one. I'm a first time mom and I've been bounced around from doctor to doctor due to my insurance and as a result of unpleasant and unprofessional staff members. It was an extreme relief when I found Dr. Lu. First off after jumping from one practice to another and having the most awful experiences. Dr Lu still excepted me even though I was very far along into my pregnancy. When I arrived to his office I was greeted by a wonderfully professional receptionist who was very attentive and referred to me by my name. I then waited about 5-10 minutes then was welcomed with open arms by an extremely positive and uplifting nurse. Who always makes me feel very comfortable through the precheckiWhen I finally met the doctor he already went through my past medical history, knew exactly what needed to be done next and always asked if there was anything I needed to add or ask. He Is and always has been unbelievably professional and knowledgeable. If It wasn't for Dr. Lu my husband and I never would have found out that my umbilical cord was wrapped around my baby's neck. (After seeing multiple doctors b4 I came here none of the others practices ever said anything) If it wasn't for Dr. Lu I wouldn't have this amazing two inch scar from my cesarean and a beautiful healthy baby girl as a result. Till this day I'm greeted and treated the same way I was from day one and I can't imagine going anywhere else. This place is amazing and I recommend this doctor to everyone I know. read more
