    How was your appointment with Dr. Woo?

    Jan 28, 2023
    Dr. Woo performed my triple bypass surgery at Stanford Hospital - his personality is exactly what you'd expect from a surgeon. His staff are very friendly, very knowledgable and accommodating whereas he is extremely knowledgeable but lacking in friendliness. This did not bother me because I knew he was there to perform the surgery and his Staff would be taking care of my recovery. I am now over 6 months post op and feel like I have my life back. I can run and exercise again, and no longer have any issues with my breathing. My only negative comment would be how long it took to get me released from the hospital even though I was already walking and cleared by most of the staff - this is not against Dr. Woo but rather the hospital administration that struggled to get me cleared more quickly to return to my home. Finally, Dr. Woo did an excellent job closing my incision and there is hardly any scaring.
