Hu James, MD

Recently bought a Groupon for Botox. Performed by Dr​.Hu. Simply put it, it didn’t work. My frown line is still there.

Dr. Hu took his time and answered all my questions. He’s very professional, patient and kind. I highly recommend him for those looking for a great dermatologist. I was able to book an appointment in less than 24 hours.

Aggressively tried to perform relatively invasive procedures within 5 minutes of the visit. Described himself as an expert in treating psoriatic arthritis without having an extensive research background in it (relies on anecdotal patient experiences). Said he didn’t want patients to be educated, but rather just to trust him. He’s the kind of doctor that will overmedicate and provide unnecessary procedures to make more money. Patient beware!

What a great dermatologist! Dr. Hu’s office offered me a same day appointment when I developed a skin condition and he was incredibly kind, quick thinking and made a very quick diagnosis despite the fact that I’m a complicated patient. His office is really relaxed, with one patient at a time. He takes time to talk to you. I’d never have known about this tiny, old school private practice. There aren’t enough old time-​y caring docs like this left.
Dr. Hu isn’t at all focused on cosmetic dermatology. He does make his own all natural moisturizing lotion for people with really sensitive skin — lotion that simulates natural skin oils. Possibly a good doctor for chemically sensitive folks. Refreshing lack of any other products or med spa yuck. I won’t even dock him a star for saying «these are really cool!» about my sun spots.

I am 59 years old and it was pure luck from taking my mothers doctors advise to call
Dr. James Hu. I had numerous appointments with my regular doctor and even another
specialist that could not diagnose what my problem was. From my very first visit I was
comfortable with Dr. Hu and his staff. Being a new patient sometimes can be frustrating
not the case at all with his office. I was impressed immediately by the fact that just by
looking at my hands
knew exactly what my condition was. I was diagnosed with
psoriatic arthritis and psoriasis. I was not just given a prescription to go fill.
Dr. Hu took the time to explain the changes in my body and he was very thorough in the questions he asked of me and then let me ask my own questions. After many visits
and his careful monitoring of the results of the medications he prescribed I now feel
that I should be sharing with other people that could be as miserable as I was that he
has he has given me an opportunity to enjoy a some what normal life again. Going from miserable to some what normal is huge and this is the best way for me to thank
Dr. Hu. and believe me I can not say thank you enough to this fine dermatologist !

Going to see Dr. Hu was one of the best experiences at a doctors office I’ve ever had. The front desk was nice, he was great at explaining things and excellent at performing surgical procedures. I’d recommend him to anyone needing a dermatologist.

Dr Hu and support staff are incredibly professional and kind. I was so thankful to get a same day appointment. Additionally, Dr. Hu’s expertise became evident while treating my acute case. His assessment and diagnosis were precise. The treatment regimen gave instant relief and my acute breakout began calming and clearing immediately.

Being in my mid 30s, I thought this would be a good time to get my skin checked out. A friend referred me to this doctor. I showed all my skin issues to him and had a list of questions. Basically all those little things were minor and nothing to worry about thankfully. Dr. Hu was very helpful and took time to address all my concerns.
Dr. Hu quickly cured the eczema around my eye that kept getting worse. i should have seen him earlier rather than self-​treat. He prescribed a medication that was safe for the sensitive eye area and I haven’t had any problems since. It was custom made at a nearby compound pharmacy.
It has been a couple of years since I’ve had dermatology issues, but if I do have any I would see Dr. Hu again. I hope he stays in practice for awhile.

Review on Dr. Hu — 2 Stars. He is a conventional, clinical & traditional dermatologist. For my personal situation, we were not able to solve the dermatitis issue.
Review on Dr. Hu Accounting System — 0 Stars. I had so many problems dealing with the bookkeeper. The problem started when I received a large bill that was over a year old with a note that stated «don’t worry, this has not been sent to collections and will not incur financial charges». In researching (which took a long time and many calls placed on my part), there was a temporary bookkeeper that did not send out patient responsibility fees. This accrued over a year. In trying to resolve the issue, I asked that they take $ 20/​month until my bill was paid off. The next form of communication received was a call from a collection agency. I was furious. I found that yet again there was a new bookkeeper who took my call and for the first time, I received an apology for the mishap. We resolved the issue by me paying off a negotiated balance because I didn’t want to deal with any further deficiencies from this office. Insurance companies have a statute of claims processed of one year. There should be the same statute of limitations for patients as well. This was the worst accounting department I have experienced. WARNING: If you decide to use this doctor, make a note monthly to check and make sure bills have been sent to your attention.

Dr, Hu is definitely one of the best dermatologists in town. I have seen him off and on for a number of years and he is always great. He is extremely proffesional. No small talk or chit-​chat. He gets right to the point and handles your specific needs.
