Dr. Wu is the main reason that my family members and I continue to stay at UCSD Health for our care. She is super intelligent, kind, and an extraordinary physician. She is even bilingual (Chinese). Personally, she has been keeping my family and I healthy and alive for about 20 years now. I have other family members who have been with her much longer (30 years!). She is in such demand that she has a full patient load. Still, she manages to respond to all of her patients and care for them all right away. Dr. Wu is also a genius and figures out most health issues upon hearing the symptoms. Many doctors will just prescribe without knowing; she is much more comprehensive than most. She also has homeopathic suggestions to help with discomfort when the issue is minor (back aches, congestion, neck pain, etc.) Dr. Wu is who I want to always have care for my family and I, so wherever she goes, we will be there.

I felt like I just had to share this! It is truly remarkable and highly unusual in our current world of cookie cutter, big system healthcare where you are just a number.

Dr. Witman is an exceptional physician who is tenacious in her resolve to figure out the best way to help her patients. I appreciate the lengths she has gone to - to maximize my health. Besides further research, she has referred me to specialists who she communicated with, and advocated for me when she didn't think a specialist was treating my case with the urgency she felt it warranted. She has also helped interpret other doctors' notes, lab reports & x-rays for me so that I understood what they meant. Availability has been so valuable. Every time I have called her office with some ailment, I have been able to get in to see the doctor that day.

Gabrielle's deep knowledge, her ability to ask the right questions, and her personalized approach are nothing short of amazing.

I'm going to write a short book here, because it seems to be the only way to communicate how much I appreciate Dr. Hanson, and why. Over the years, I had met with nearly a dozen orthopaedists, gotten relief from various injections, looked at all manner of edge-therapies, had three conservative surgeries on the knee, lived with the outcomes, and eventually was advised to go ahead and get the replacement. Along the way, I observed the bedside manner of all of these doctors, noting that joint-replacement specialists, like many specialists, are, perhaps because of their training and lofty intellect, not as interested in patient communication as are most GP's. Some of them, I think, interact best with patients who are... unconscious. After doing a good deal of asking around, I was lucky to be referred to Dr. Peter Hanson at Grossmont Orthopaedic. His credentials were unbeatable, and his ratings on Yelp and elsewhere were remarkable. So, I timed my appointment with him to also satisfy my desire for a second opinion. My experience with Dr. Hanson at that appointment was so excellent that, although he truly intended only to offer a second opinion, I was nearly ready to ask him to perform the procedure himself. For a leading medical specialist, Dr. Hanson is astonishingly low-key and patient. Very approachable yes, but it's more than that. He's more like my trusted old friend taking care of me. Anyway, after yet another rushed, slightly contentious session with my other (busy, up-and-coming rockstar) specialist, I had had enough and scheduled my surgery instead with Dr. Hanson in January. On surgery day, he was a comfort both before and after the procedure. Now in my 6th week of recovery, I am delighted that I chose Dr. Hanson to perform my surgery. Although the recovery requires substantial effort, physical therapy, and some pain tolerance, my knee gets better each day. In closing, if you are lucky enough to get Peter Hanson as your joint replacement surgeon, you are in exceptionally fine hands. I cannot recommend him to you highly enough.
