Wu Chunmei MD

I have three kids used to be cared by Dr. Wu. I gave her an okay rating over all. With all the routine baby check/​immunizations, she did a good job.
However, when a new born with medical condition (resulted from milk allergy), Dr. Wu along with other GI specialist did not have a clue how to treat the baby. Her approach was rather experimental and could have our baby killed if the hospital had not stepped in. Over many years under her care, she never had our kids check food allergy until we switched to a new doctor (it was discovered then by this new doctor at the very first appointment, our baby had very strong milk allergy (could be fatal!).
We decided to terminate her service after she refused to share medical lab results directly from lab (instead, she would ask us to visit her office to learn the results). In Hawaii, the physicians have the discretion whether or not to have lab test results send to patients directly. She exercised her power as a doctor not to let us to get test results directly from lab, we, in return, exercised our power in the business relationship, to have her terminated.

Hands down the most fabulous pediatric doctor EVER! Her knowledge and love for her craft is outstanding! She shows a deep concern for each of my boys and been able to see us though emergencies and yearly visits.
The office staff is caring and compassionate… They have made us feel welcomed and happy to visit, even when my boys are not feeling good.

This is my daughter’s pediatrician. I was a senior at UHM when I was pregnant, a full-​time student and a part-​time waitress and didn’t have a moment to research a lot of pediatricians before picking one. I gave birth in Kapiolani Medical Center and they offered to help me find a pediatrician with openings and suggested Chunmei Wu.
Every single time I’ve called her, she’s told me to go ahead and bring my daughter in, often the very day I call! She is always available either the day I call, or the next morning. When I’ve called physicians exchange after hours when my daughter had a fever she got back to me right away.
Her assistant (who gives the shots) is totally sweet and kind, great with babies, and has a little one herself.
My only qualm with her is that she suggest I supplement breastfeeding with formula when my daughter was just a few weeks old because she didn’t think she was gaining weight fast enough. I was very serious about breastfeeding and never supplemented and my daughter is now in the 80^th percentile. I’m really glad I didn’t take her advice to supplement. But other than that, if you want someone that is always available when you have question or reassurance or are wondering if a fever is just a passing cold or something serious, Chunmei Wu is always available.
