H. Shawn Hu's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Hu spent all of 5 min w/ me. Didn't ask about symptoms, do any sort of exam and went straight to discussing lab work. Spoke down to me the entire time. (Nevermind I've been an RN for 20 yrs.) When attempting to coordinate the labs Dr. Hu was ordering and labs my rheumatologist wanted (since I had recently started a new medication to manage my Lupus), he refused to even consider giving me a lab req so that I could have my labs drawn somewhere else so I could avoid two sticks. He then had the audacity to tell me that if my rheumatologist was ordering (one of) the many labs I mentioned he was, I should "fire him and start looking for a new rheumalotgist who actually knows what he's doing." He said this as he walked out of the room, not even telling me my appointment was over. Let alone where to go to get my labs or that I should even head to the front desk. I had to ask him to confirm that he was even done with me. This man had seen me all of 5 min & apparently that makes him God.

My mom was a patient of Dr. Hu. She had metastatic melanoma. While Dr. Hu seemed to provide her with the best treatment plan, he failed to recommend resources beyond prescription medications for mentally and physcially coping with cancer. We found out about palliative care and the Cancer Support Community on our own, and too late to be helpful to my mom. It should be standard procedure to recommend both outpatient palliative care and especially the Cancer Support Community to patients, friends, and family members. I know it would have been extremely useful to us to know about these resources early on.

Dr Hu spent less than five minutes with me at my visit. He insisted, based on blood work, that he knew what the diagnosis was. He said he didn't need to discuss my symptoms or concerns because my blood told him what he needed to know. He put me on a chemo class drug, insisting i should be happy i didn't have cancer. After 6 months , with no improvement of my physical condition i got a second opinion. The initial diagnosis was proven wrong very easily, and i was able to stop a chemo drug.

Dr Hu has been monitoring my CLL for several years. He doesn’t spend much time, but he makes it count. He always takes time to answer questions and explains my complicated blood results in a way I can understand. I never feel rushed. I see him 3-4 times a year and he is on time 99% of the time.

Very knowledgeable, professional, and caring. Easy to talk to and listens.

Cancer care requires dealing with humanity. Did you do something to cause cancer? Is it your fault? All that happens in treatment may echo this or other destructive self talk. Your cancer MD must be human. You must feel he has a heart. Dr. Hu: No empathy. No ability to connect with you. No ability to comprehend cancer often associated with depression. Simply says cutting comments and leaves the room. He feels himself superior.... to the struggle w cancer us Americans have

First husband had Non Hodgkins Lymphoma in 08 and in remission since 09. I had breast cancer in 2015 and after surgery in November and radiation, I am cancer free!! He's the BEST and would recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Hu is always very concerned, listens well, and most importantly, cured me of cancer twice!

I felt so well-taken-care-of by Dr. Hu during my cancer treatment. He was very thorough in explaining my treatment protocol which created a high level of trust throughout the process. He responded to all of my questions using a language that furthered my understanding of my diagnosis, disease and treatments. When I called with a question or concern, he/his staff was prompt to reply. At every visit, I felt welcomed and was treated with kindness and compassion.
