Joanna Woo's Online Review Report Card

Very kind and patient. Explained my conditions with care and made sure I understood everything before moving forward. Her staff was also very attentive and supportive. I only switched OBs because my insurance changed or else I would still be their patient

My daughter was four months pregnant and her baby died in her belly on 07/02/2021.She tried calling her doctor but was refered to the 24 hour hot line. They told her to wait to talk to Dr Woo the next day because it was Sunday and it was her day off. My daughter went to the hospital and they told her the bad news that her baby died because she has a rear blood type and needed a RH vaccine to lower to a minimum the risk of any miss fortunes that can happen to patients with this blood type. This people withdrew blood and knew her blood type and knew the risks and didn't do nothing about it.The next day she called and this so called doctor is off again and gave her an appointment for Tuesday. Now imagine, caring your baby in your belly for 2 days knowing that it's dead. I will never recommend this Doctor to no one. The doctor is running her business with helpers only, she is never in the office.

I saw Dr. Woo from the time we were family planning through the recent birth of my first child and recovery and she is awesome. I appreciated her straightforward and educated responses to my questions and her upbeat, positive attitude made my entire experience less stressful. The ultrasound techs and reception staff at Fair Oaks are also top notch, helpful and friendly. I've been extremely happy with the speed of response when sending questions via the patient portal and using on-call docs for questions outside of office hours. I've felt safe visiting this office during the pandemic as a result of their entry screens and socially distanced waiting rooms. I plan to continue OB services via FOWH and hope to replicate the experience should we ever have another baby. Thank you Dr. Woo & FOWH!

Dr. Woo is THE BEST. I wish she could be my everything doctor haha. I was desperate to find a new OB at 30weeks pregnant because my doctor suddenly retired. She was kind enough to take me in without a blink, was very thorough with my medical history, and addressed any concerns quickly to put our minds at ease. In the delivery room, she was a super hero! She was an excellent coach to encourage me through pushing. Even though my baby’s chord was wrapped around the neck, Dr. Woo was calm as cucumber and quickly solved the problem. She also followed up with me in the hospital, not once, but three times after delivery too. She truly cares about her patients. I highly highly recommend her!

Clean and chic office. Everyone was very professional and friendly. I have been seeing Dr.Woo for 3 years. She is always friendly, caring, super patient, and MOST IMPORTANTLY SHE LISTENS. I have been married for couple years and no kid. I was worried around 3 years in to the marriage as I am getting older. My prior doctor just brushed me off my concerns and told me to keep trying. When I met Dr.Woo and shared my concerns, she arranged testing for me right away. The result was quick and we reviewed it together. I really appreciated what was done, educating me on data and sharing possible solutions. Me and my husband ended up have to go through reproductive clinic for IVF. Of course, I came back to Dr. Woo after I am 3 month pregnant. The delivery was smooth. I can't thank enough for Dr.Woo and her amazing team throughout the delivery process. Now we have a beautiful 6 month old baby boy.

This is a long overdue review. Joanna Woo is the absolute worst ob/gyn doctor and human being. As a woman, you would think she would be compassionate towards other women especially during pregnancy or when there's an issue. This is absolutely not the case. She treated me worse than a cow going to slaughter. I was pregnant with my first child. Being 36 at the time, I was offered a genetics blood test. I took the test and awaited my results. Couple days go by and I went in to see Joanna for an unscheduled visit due to bleeding. She saw me and said everything was fine. She then said that she had my test results. She pulled out the paper and said my baby had a high chance of a chromosome disorder and that the baby would have a low chance of survival. She rattled off some data and percentages like a robot. Not once did she offer any compassion. She did not show an ounce of emotion while speaking of the diagnosis. Afterwards, while i was reeling in shock, not only did she not offer any type of advice of what to do, or any options , she had her assistant hand me a list of abortion clinics. She left the room quickly and did not even offer me any type of condolence or comfort. Her demeanor was sterile, robotic, and outright disturbing. It was absolutely awful and traumatic event as my first pregnancy and Joanna made it even worse. Please do not use Joanna Woo as your doctor. She does not care about her patients and she does not care about women.

Dr. Woo is one of the kindest doctors I’ve ever met. She does not rush you out of your appointments and makes sure all your questions are answered. I had a complication starting in month 5 of my pregnancy. She, along with a specialist, took care of me so quickly. I felt like I was her only patient. I am super thankful she is my OB!

If I could give this practice zero stars I would. I was dropped from Dr. Woo at 36 weeks pregnant bc she didn't go over my medical records! She claimed there were too many pages! Guess what Dr. Woo that's part of your job!Her office manager Mercedes was of no help. She was extremely rude and uncaring. Mercedes attempted to hang up on me at least three times during our conversation while I was trying to understand the situation.I simply needed prenantal care from an OB that was covered by my new insurance for labs, ultrasounds, and would be my back OB in case of an emergency (my birth plan was to go through a birthing center). The least Dr. Woo and Mercedes could have done was give me a list of OB's that would be willing to work with me, they provided nothing- even after Mercedes reassured me that Dr. Woo had an extensive list of OB's that could provide me with care.They kept blaming liability insurance which is a lie. Basically if you don't get care through delivery (where they make all their money from) they will abandoned you no matter how far along you are in your pregnancy.My dad and sister are physician's so I'm very familiar with how a reputable practice is supposed to be ran. When there's good management and amazing doctor's who care about their patients and don't treat them like a number it makes a world of difference. When I told Mercedes this she told me "ask them for a list of OB's". I would have if they didn't practice out of state.If you're willing to put you and your unborn baby through stress I would recommend going here. If not, do yourself a favor, find another OB who isn't going to abandoned you and legitimately cares about their patients. STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS OFFICE!!!

Dr. Joanna Woo killed my baby. Not sure how she could sleep at night. She did not address the patient's concerns even when the same question being brought up during each visit.
