Absolutely incredible doctor, best physician I've had in my life, and that is not an exaggeration. He gives it to you straight, is deeply knowledgeable, and is clearly a free-thinker (difficult to find in medicine these days, for some inexplicable reason). Just wish I could see him as my GP rather than as a derm only. Truly don't know what the negative reviews are about - there were two receptionists, both very polite. Office is in a very clean medical tower with an incredible view of Seattle. Med assistant was brief and kind. Dr. Hu is the only doctor I've had that is willing to spend the complete allotted time to discuss anything - even if not directly related to skin concerns. I've had this experience each time I've visited, so if things are running a few minutes behind schedule, don't worry and understand he's going to give you personalized attention.

Hey Dr. Hu has been my only doctor for over 20 years. The skin is our biggest organ that is why we need good care. Dr. Hu is that guy. He always gives me the best care I pay out of pocket, and he is very reasonable. The receptionist is very shy people need to stop writing bad reviews of the receptionist. She does the job, and does it well. She is not gonna ever greet you with a huge smile offer you water. It is not her style she will give you directions to the restroom, and the drinking fountain. Just relax be patient. Dr. Hu is worth the wait.

Excellent doctor! To read anything otherwise about Dr. Hu or his staff is mind boggling. My husband and I deeply admire Dr. Hu's approach and are so grateful for his services. We were seen immediately upon a referral from our primary care physician. Dr. Hu took time to listen and to research various treatments. He was extremely thorough, kind, attentive, and knowledgeable. The treatment options he provided us were spot on.

My experience with Dr Hu has been consistently great. He has a quiet demeanor and he is open to questions, listens attentively and he is the one doc that dug in to a problem I’ve had for 20 years and he is the one physician who listened, actually took time to read through my history and attempt to solve the puzzle. I can’t thank him enough!

Dr. Hu isn't like other doctors. He doesn't get offended if you bring up stuff you've read on the Internet, or if you want to try something different. He's one of the most open-minded doctors I know. I have been a patient of Dr. Hu's since about 2003, and I'm satisfied with the care I've received over the years. I've gone to him for everything from a skin infection caused by a mysterious tropical virus, to fluorouracil (Effudex) treatments and botox injections. As for some of the negative reviews, I think it's important for everyone to find the right doctor, someone whom they trust and have a good relationship with. I also think it's important to try different doctors until you find someone you like, and if you're not happy with your current doctor, to switch your care to a different doctor.
