Dr. Wu has helped me tremendously with his experience and knowledge concerning rls. He is incredibly thorough and empathetic to my difficulties with this debilitating syndrome. I am very thankful to have him as my doctor. When no other doctor in my home state of WV had been able to help me or even understand my illness, getting an appointment with Dr Wu was an answer to prayer.

Dr. Wu is the only provider who understands the difficulty of living with the effects of hypersomnia. He understands why I won't take a drug holiday.
