Deirdre Lum, MD Palo Alto, CA 94304

"I had a laparoscopic myomectomy in Sept 2023 with Dr. Lum and I couldn’t be more happy with my experience. She provided multiple recommendations based on my ultrasound and mri, was very knowledgeable and answered every question that I had. I was nervous the day of surgery as it was my first time going under general anesthesia, but she met with me beforehand and answered all my last minute questions . The healing process was easy, I only had to take a couple doses of pain meds. My incisions were small and healed great. It’s been about 5 months since my surgery and I feel amazing and my symptoms have resolved.Thank you to Dr. Lum as well as her staff who were very helpful and responsive when it came to coordinating appts and answering MyHealth messages."

"Prior to my surgery Dr. Lum made me feel informed & "heard". Unfortunately, my surgery did not go as planned, resulting in a significant trauma response from me. I gave her 5 stars for her exceptional support, professionalism & dedication to me as her patient. Not only did her response ease a rather overwhelming situation she empowered me in a way I've never felt before,nor since. Medical treatment, in my experience, imparts a sense of helplessness over my body & care. There is a reluctant feeling if surrender that occurs. Dr. Lum truly had a tramendous impact on my post surgical experience. I was diagnosed later the same year with Breast Cancer. I longed to find similarly natured physicians within the oncology team but all I found was disappointment. I felt like a COGS, a paper number pulled at the counter. It was truly horrific. Dr. Lum affected me and my life wonderfully & it seems unlikely that i will successfully convey the significance of that within this platforms limited ability to relay such."

"She messed up my surgery and because of that I lost one of my kidney!"

"I have had an amazing experience with Dr. Lum and the whole team at Stanford gynecology. At my first appointment she really listened to all my concerns and spent so much time talking to me about my options. She has a great bedside manner and did not make me feel rushed during the appointment. I would highly recommend making an appointment with her."
