During her OB/GYN rotation in medical school, Dr. Wu became genuinely appreciative of the miracle of life and developed a keen awareness for the complexity of human reproductive endocrinology.

After completing her medical training in the Midwest (Michigan and Ohio), she came to Portland to be a part of one of the best Ob-Gyn departments in the country and to work alongside the nationally recognized and highly regarded reproductive endocrinologists at OHSU.

Her passion for Reproductive Endocrinology continued to grow during her medical training as her eyes were opened to the extremely rewarding work that comes with helping couples faced with infertility. She finds nothing more satisfying than sharing with couples a pregnancy ultrasound when their baby's heartbeat is heard for the very first time.
