"Dr. Gu was pleasant enough but hard to understand. He promised to call in a prescription but never did. I called the office two times to say the pharmacy did not get the prescription and they left him messages but he never called it in. Had to get the after hours doctor to call it in for me. Found out he never explained another drug that could help me even more. When I challenged him about that he said I did not think I would want to take it because a side effect is weight gain. Meanwhile my sciatica is killing me. Would not recommend going to see Dr. Gu"
