Dr. Hu was competent and pleasant. He apologized for running a little behind but did not rush our consultation to catch up on his schedule.

Dr Hu is excellent. He went over my CT results in detail, made suggestions about what I should do prior to my colonoscopy this Friday. He also shared his thoughts with me on what the other possibilities might be for my discomfort.
