David Gu, DO

My mom was in a nursing home and Dr. Gu was the assigned doctor. He didn’t show up to see her at all to properly assess the patient. Nurses said he shows up once per month or longer. I even called his office and left a message, no returned call. After my mom left nursing home, we now find out from her surgeon said infection is still there and Dr Gu could have made better assessment before ending her antibiotics. Would have rated minus zero if I could for making my mom linger with possible surgery due to lack of patient care.

Looking for an old fashion doctor? Check Dr Gu out. I’ve switch doctor more than cloth. Some doctor think they are god, needing special appointment. My last doctor I called to get help ’cause I was really ill, her office tells me the earliest was a week later. Heck I’m sick now! And by the time the week came to, I was fine.
Dr. Gu see his patients anytime when the office is open. No appointment needed, walk-​in anytime. Oh and the staff are theist helpful I’ve seen. i may sound liked I’m related to this doctor, but not … He great. He even ordered the med while you are still in the office. How cool is that?

Dr. David Gu is the best doctor ever. I’ve been his patients for over 5 yrs and highly recommend this doctor. His bed side manner is professional and his staff are friendly. He answer all my question and provide me the service that I request. He listen to my problem and take care of issue that I have on my health. I would highly recommend him. He is not like other doctor who didn’t care about his patient.

It’s been pretty difficult for me to find a really good doctor where you can feel comfortable going to. I was actually refer from a friend and I am glad I switched to him. Dr. David Gu is very professional, knowledgeable and patient in answering ALL of your questions. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Couldn’t be happier with this doc.

Absolutely the worst Dr. I have worked with. I have to constantly follow up on lab results, x-​rays, etc. No response, extremely dismissive, and lack of compassion for patient care.
On a scale from 1 to 10 I would rate them a 0. If you have concerns about your health and well being do not use this Dr. as your primary care physician. As you will see from patient reviews within other accredited medical site (not Unilocal) Dr. Gu’s patient rating are negative.

He checked me out and I seem to be OK. Got a blood test here and the shy assistant made the process painless. The facilities are clean. I threw a bunch of questions over at Dr. Gu and he answered all of them. Would recommend him to others that are looking for another doctor that sets appointments that don’t overlap too much, unlike other doctors in this area.
The place is a bit tricky to find. It’s the 2^nd large building (Gray color) from the corner.

I’ve been going to Dr. Gu for many years for my ailments. He’s extremely knowledgeable and highly experienced. I’ve had other family doctors in my past, and although they seem to care about my treatment, they don’t really know me. Dr. Gu is different from the other doctors. I’m not just a file or a chart that he has to look up. He actually remembers me, and we have conversations about how I’m doing in terms of health and every day life. He seems to genuinely care about my well-​being when I’m in his office for treatment, as well as my overall life experiences outside of his office that can can possibly have an affect my health. He’s a great guy and I highly recommend him!
I’m amazed at how accurate his diagnosis is, and how fast I recover after following his recommended treatment and medication. I trust him enough to recommend him to all my friends and family.

TL: DR
Pros:
* Dr. Gu has a great bedside manner and seemed to do my physical in a decent manner.
*His Admin staff is some of the best I’ve encountered at a doctor’s office, they deserve at least half the stars.
Cons:
* Rude nurse that gives no instruction.
Story
The minus is for the nurse. From the morning where she presumably arrived late, almost mowing me down with the door (this is no exaggeration, she barely missed and was obviously late), to her lack of bedside manner, to her general dourness and lack of attention she kind of left me with a bad taste in my mouth. Her service is what you would expect to find at one of the many fine Chinese restaurants in the sgv where you’ll find the middle aged rude waitresses and waiters, I kind of felt the same way here. Protip: You might get a better experience with her though if you speak cantonese as she seemed to feign some caring for the old cantonese grandma at the bathroom. I basically had to ask instructions from the administrative staff since she rushed out the room without telling me what to do after drawing blood.
Good thing everything else seemed good, now on to the insurance to see if there are any surprise billings.

Dr. Gu is the best doctor there is. He has taken care of me since I was a little girl and he has never done me wrong. I love Dr. Gu.

Best Doctor in Alhambra, Dr. David Gu is smart, knowledgeable and I trust him. At times when I was in between jobs and carried no insurance, I was able to pay a very low and reasonable fee for follow-​ups and lab work. He will also provide free medication if he has them available or refer you to a Pharmacy that have very competitive prices. The staff/​nurses are friendly and very helpful as well.

Friendly staff, Easy appointment, less wait, Highly recommended, Great doctor
