Melinda Gu

Very much appreciate Dr Gu as my PCP very efficient good listener. Excellent response/communicator via MyChart messaging for followup.Two areas of improvement would appreciate: having my preventive blood work/tests taken before my annual preventative physical; post notes/AVS of my annual physical within a day or two of visit (was posted about a week later)

Dr. Gu is very good but not taking new patients. So I am not able to recommend to family and friends.

Again Dr. Gu had me wait for 35 minutes in the exam room. Once she arrived she barely examined me including parts of my body that had been hurting several days earlier.

Dr Gu has excellent doctor to patient communication.

I liked her and how I was treated.

She was not able to explain the reasons for denying my request. She took her laptop and left the room for 10 minutes without telling me where she was going or why she left the room. I kept telling her that we can move to my other concerns but she was stuck on the first topic. After 20 minutes back and forth she said my time was up and I had to make another appointment to come back to be checked for my annual. She didn't do a thorough examination. She kept repeating herself over and over again without any logic.

I still haven't been able to get my asthma medicine. It does concern me that for whatever reason I'm having trouble getting a refill for my medicine for a chronic condition. On this part of the visit I'm just not satisfied because I am now out of medicine and can't seem to get it.

This was my first meeting Dr. Gu and I was quite excited to finally have a in person check up. My first in years. My first concern is that when my nurse took my blood pressure it was quite high. She took my blood pressure twice and it was high both times. Dr. Gu never mentioned my blood pressure being high and I left the office without any discussion about my bp. A year ago I had some blood work done and my cholesterol was quite high. Dr. Gu prescribed Lipitor which I tried for a few weeks but discontinued because I did not like the side effects. Dr. Gu was told about me discontinuing the medication and told me she would follow up with blood work at a later date. This blood work was not done. We had no discussion about my cholesterol. I also spoke with her about a problem that I had been having for years where when my body gets stressed (either at work or with physical activity) I develop a fever. Sometimes depending on the level of stress the fever can be quite high or it could be low grade. I also get body aches like I have a flu. I mentioned this to her and she never said a word about it. I was hoping blood work was being done to point us in the right direction but no blood work was done other than testing me for STD's.

At this visit Dr Gu seemed especially busy thoughtful about the concerns I raised but eager to move ahead.

It was a very quick (5-10 minute) teleconference. I explained my symptoms and concerns about having a respiratory virus. Care provider had me take my own temperature and said I was OK. End of meeting.

Dr. Gu is excellent. I highly recommend her services as a professional.

Dr. Gu was very kind patient and thorough. She asked many questions and listened carefully to my answers. I feel that she understood me and took all of my concerns seriously. She explained my diagnosis and her recommended treatment.

Dr. Gu Is very caring and listened patiently to our concerns and ordered labs and services needed promptly. She and her staff responded promptly to MyChart messages which is very helpful.

I have attempted to give my feedback directly to Dr. Gu. She eventually moved me to longer visits. The shorter visits were anxiety provoking to say the least. At one point some time ago when I raised a concern I got a one line email response. I shared with her in that situation it was not enough and I experienced tragic consequences as a result of not understanding her brief advice. We are learning to work together better.

Was not able to provide the procedure I was hoping for (IUD removal) but did not offer to refer me to gynecology and left the room after the Pap smear before I could ask any questions

Did not have solution for getting appointments more easily. Nor is there a solution for alternative health system.

I have recommended Dr Gu to my friends and family.She is very professional thorough and caring. I appreciate how well she explains any concerns or questions I may have.

I asked Dr. Gu for a Pap Smear blood test for vitals and any shots I would need. I cleared my day to do all of that that day. She flippantly pushed it to another appointment day when there were no other patients in at the time. The appointment was not productive as the only things that happened were that the medical assistant measured my height weight and blood pressure.

Dr. Gu is very nice and excellent.

Dr Gu was very helpful and made sure to address all my concerns

Long and productive relationship with my provider Dr. Melinda Gu.

I've always trusted and appreciated Dr Gu's care and knowledge in being my primary care doctor. She's a good listener and her internal medicine background makes me feel confident that she is able to diagnose comprehensively testing needs appropriate medication or referral. She works with me on a solution. I'm grateful for her being my primary over the years.

She was looking at her computer the entire time of ROS. Didn't look at me or acknowledge the health complaint in any way. Thought I was speaking to a wall.

Dr Gu is caring and very patient and professional

L will be glad when we ban remove the masksFor a better understanding of what the doctor is conveying to me.

I'm very pleased with Dr. Gu as my PCP. She's dedicated knowledgeable responsive sensitive and very helpful with any of my health issues and concerns. I appreciate her very much.

I asked her to refer me to a dermatologist and I was waiting for someone to call me and I had to call

Dr is the best! She's incredible professional and listens. You're lucky to have her!

Dr is very polite but not really proactively discussing possible health issues preventive care possible risks of sleep apnea high lipids etc

Dr Gu was very patience; and took her time to listen to me. I sincerely appreciated the fact that she not only asked about my well-beings but also my children. Thank you Dr Gu for showing genuine cares

No complaining.

My appointment was for an "annual" physical (been a couple years thanks to COVID). I was surprised that the provider didn't ask whether I had been vaccinated for COVID or for the flu didn't mention anything about my cancer screenings (I am a BRCA carrier) didn't discuss normal things like whether I'm getting enough calcium or how often I exercise. Didn't ask anything about my mental health although I had asked to be referred to a psychiatrist a few months earlier. Just didn't seem like a very thorough or thoughtful physical. Provider definitely doesn't see herself as the leader of my care.

I appreciate how much Dr Gu cares for my health as much as I do. She is proactive in recommending the best plans for the best results.

Very satisfied.
